Actually the aim is somewhat correct it's just gaijin is using a exported m1a2 for the armor as model for all Abrams above the m1a1 so technically we don't even have DU armor
As someone who plays the tech tree M1 abrams lots. The best way to use this tank is as a light tank and have the mindset of don't get hit. (like how you should play every vehicle tbh)
Yeah but it's a light tank with absolutely none of the benefits. It has no armor but doesn't have the penetration (it's shit) or reload to make up for it. It's loud. It's not even the fastest MBT.
well the leclerc is worse, it has no armor but doesn't have better firepower while in reality it has better armor even tho it's not as good as arbram or leopard and most importantly it has a realy good fire control system wich allows it to fire on the move realy well even on moving targets at 4km but you can't represent this in war thunder. but the worst thing is it doesn't have its F2 shell of depleted uranium wich has way better penetration and can smash russian tanks like the T72b3 or t80BVM but I think other tanks don't have their best shells either

That reload doesnt mean shit when your garbage ammo is absorbed by something it should go through (not that it matters because your ammo is shit on its own anyway) and then the enemy you shot at fires vaguely on you and takes out half your crew. At that point your reload is now worse than theirs. Really far that reload got you there huh? Plus on top of that the most troublesome enemies are autoloaded, so while you just had your loader shot out when there was barely a pixel left on the reload, it just got reset (and is now longer!) while you can set them on fire, shoot their gunners loader, etc. and theyre still loading during that so its ready the second their gunner is back.
"Severely depressed english person" Hope you do better man. It's been wonderful listening to ur voice giving insightful breakdowns of different vehicles.
PS: all abrams as of now have worse traction too ive been testing abrams on certain slopes along with leo2 and lot of the slopes abrams easily lose power and starts to slide while leo 2 can even pivot turn on those same slopes IDK about other top tier vehicles since abrams and leo2 are the only top tier vehicles i got as of now but ive asked a friend of mine to test other MBTs and yes the T series is same as leo 2's traction ariete and challenger 2s are slightly worse but thats a given yet still better traction than abrams (and yes it side by side on certain slope angles challenger 2 and ariete can out climb an abrams while other MBT will literally dance in those slopes) (please correct me if im wrong but this is what ive experienced as of now)
I disagree with the T72 being the same as the Leo, I have done a similar experiment after they rolled back the traction nerf. The Turms is slower and more sluggish then the Leo while going up some of the hills on test drive, it loses its speed and starts sliding almost immediately and the Leo flies up the very same hills.

@@SAKOSNIPER Also i just want to point out, as far as i know the blowout rack in the hull is not modeled. Having that ammo hit will kill you. A classic case of the USA tax from Gaijin. Also i'd like to point out that the Abrams' reload speed isnt that big of an upside. Its not an autoloader, so its not a flat rate. Your loader being injured (or dead) will make it just as slow as everyone elses reload. On top of that you cant load while extinguishing. The Abrams absolute lack of viable armor makes it very very likely that you will lose your loader. The Abrams has to be played like a light tank due not having any good ammo, without ANY of the benefits being classed as a light tank gives you typically. Its literally the same situation as the XM-1's except atleast the abrams isnt missing smoke launchers.
@@fire_drake12.arc.24very true, people keep bringing thing like Abrams have fast reload when pretty much that reload speed is only there as long your loader still alive Lost your loader? Now you reload slower than those infamous russian autoloader Only 2 crew left? Lmao might as well leave that thing and get another vehicle I was glad brought AGS from event instead selling it
Playerbase: "Can the US/DE/UK please have some historically accurate vehicles equipped with the munitions that there is documented proof of them having?" Gaijin: "LOL, nah. Here's another overturned Soviet prototype that never saw service, placed at a BR where its tech outclasses almost everything else. We balance by '''''statistics''''' m'kay." Playerbase: "Can we at least see these '''''statistics''''' please?" Gaijin: "No. Now pay $60 for an inaccurate US premium that is objectively worse."
Honestly I'm going to buy it. Yes yes I know it's just the first M1 Abrams. Historically it SHOULD have the 120 but Gaijin said they gave it the 105 for "balance" meanwhile the Challenger, Leo 2 AND Merkava use the 120. And the Turms has a 125 at 10.0. Makes no sense but the M1 is still a good tank. With that being said I really like US top tier. My birthday is next month so I'll treat myself.
When I decided to grind the IS tech tree I got the xm1 as it was the only real option for a high teir premium grinder. It was one of the most painful experiences of my life. I expected it to get easier when I got the other early Abrams but they were just as bad. Only when you get to the 120mm variants or the Ipm1’s m900 do you actually have the ability to point and click like all other tanks do to you
hopefully the outcry of m1 kvt buyers being ripped off hard will get gaijin to swing things around since theyre pretty vulnerable in terms of good will from the playerbase
And still this tank is better than anything italy have and don't die as soon someone fart in your general direction. IF anything between massive over Br and how much are they making us wait for any hungarian/spanish tech tree gaijin hate italian main. ffs our best premium mbt is a glorified leopard with no thermals

So for my money I can get a tank with: Worse thermals Worse kinetic armor Worse chemical armor Worse firing angles (nato hump and fuel tanks) Worse ammo (pen and post pen damage) than all relevant comparison premiums. Oh, and it’s a higher br. Thank you war thunder, very cool!

Eow, Thanks for the in-depth report on the situation. Damn the communist Snail.......guess the XM-1 is looking better and better...It may just be king for having a diesel engine, so we can actually hear compared to the M1 Abram
I want to get this tank on sale for the 50% off, would you recommend it if I have usa aircraft and don’t want to grind another nations aircraft or tanks more.
I agree the ZTZ is stronger but not the TURMS....the Turms has hull armour that can be lol penned by 105mm DM33 as its a 9.3 T72A hull and at 10.0 you don't have to aim at all to kill it. With no survivability, no reverse speed and armour that doesn't work the TURMS is quite poor. Gaijin made the mistake of giving the tank 3BM42 - this increased its BR and then Gaijin started bringing out10.0 and 10.3 Premiums so lumped the TURMS with it as well. You can tell Gaijin know they screwed up as how long was it before they added the 2S38 at 10.0? Which BTW is an SPAA IRL. What's even more logic defying is that the T72B is at 9.7 and the T72B 1989 is 10.0 and Gaijin thinks that having Thermals alone is comparable to vastly improved Hull and Turret armour and then Kontakt 5 on top of that. With the M1 Abrams you will find in a hull down position using all 10 degree's of gun depression the Turret armour can withstand 3BM42, the same goes for the Challenger DS and somewhat helps the Leo 2A4 (Gun mantlet is huge and easy to hit even at range) The IPM1 has M833 and M900 APFSDS so surely the predecessor should have M833 as its top round as that is how it works for most tanks. Gaijin should do what they did with the CV90105 and overhaul the KVT - Change it to an M1A1 and give it M830 HEATFS, M830A1 HEAT-VT and M829 APFSDS.
the TURMS doesnt just have thermals, it has better thermals than every other MBT for every nation for a very long time. Of course, that doesnt make it so that it is better, but the trolly nature of its armor, the fact that it gets quite possibly the best lineup in the game, with the 2S38, BMP-2M and Su-25K/25, and the fact its got ERA which makes almost every stock tank irrelevant. And yea, its front plate can be penetrated by M774 looking down at it, but its a very large coin toss.
@magnum6763 Thermals in war thunder are mad overrated tho I have topped soviet teams (teams that involve users of 2S38 and KA 50 as well as SU25) in a t80UM2 that doesn't even get access to thermals or the best Russian shell (tbh I didnt even research the intermediate shell it gets) So the best and only advantage of TURMS does not mean much to me
Based, I got the turms cause everyone said it was amazing and I fucking hate it. I get one tapped every time, or I peek a hill, kill someone and then remember I can't reverse so I die. I've been using the t80um2 and not relying on thermals has given me a far better eye for spotting tanks. It's also a t80 chassis so it's not slow as shit. Turms is not as good as everyone thinks it is.
@@isr4el187 it seems like you dont know how to play top tier russia. The TURMS is only worth it for people who want an extra backup to vehicles like the 2S38 and BMP-2M. But overall the T-55AM-1 is what you should buy over the TURMS, and im pretty sure every review ive ever seen of the TURM also states that you should get the AM-1 because its not at such a competitive BR. Moreover, the T-80B and U have to research thermal imagers, so it plays literally the exact same way as the UM-2 until you get them. As for the speed, its not much slower going forward, and it is slower going backwards, which at 10.0 is the exact same as every other SOV MBT that isnt the T-80, which is when they "started" to fix the issue (somewhat).
@3:38 "in French" lol. If they'd really wanted to piss ppl off, err... I mean added value to the game, they should have put it in the Soviet tech tree.

Eow, Thanks for the in-depth report on the situation. Damn the communist Snail.......guess the XM-1 is looking better and better...It may just be king for having a diesel engine, so we can actually hear compared to the M1 Abram
I want to get this tank on sale for the 50% off, would you recommend it if I have usa aircraft and don’t want to grind another nations aircraft or tanks more.
I agree the ZTZ is stronger but not the TURMS....the Turms has hull armour that can be lol penned by 105mm DM33 as its a 9.3 T72A hull and at 10.0 you don't have to aim at all to kill it. With no survivability, no reverse speed and armour that doesn't work the TURMS is quite poor. Gaijin made the mistake of giving the tank 3BM42 - this increased its BR and then Gaijin started bringing out10.0 and 10.3 Premiums so lumped the TURMS with it as well. You can tell Gaijin know they screwed up as how long was it before they added the 2S38 at 10.0? Which BTW is an SPAA IRL. What's even more logic defying is that the T72B is at 9.7 and the T72B 1989 is 10.0 and Gaijin thinks that having Thermals alone is comparable to vastly improved Hull and Turret armour and then Kontakt 5 on top of that. With the M1 Abrams you will find in a hull down position using all 10 degree's of gun depression the Turret armour can withstand 3BM42, the same goes for the Challenger DS and somewhat helps the Leo 2A4 (Gun mantlet is huge and easy to hit even at range) The IPM1 has M833 and M900 APFSDS so surely the predecessor should have M833 as its top round as that is how it works for most tanks. Gaijin should do what they did with the CV90105 and overhaul the KVT - Change it to an M1A1 and give it M830 HEATFS, M830A1 HEAT-VT and M829 APFSDS.
the TURMS doesnt just have thermals, it has better thermals than every other MBT for every nation for a very long time. Of course, that doesnt make it so that it is better, but the trolly nature of its armor, the fact that it gets quite possibly the best lineup in the game, with the 2S38, BMP-2M and Su-25K/25, and the fact its got ERA which makes almost every stock tank irrelevant. And yea, its front plate can be penetrated by M774 looking down at it, but its a very large coin toss.
@magnum6763 Thermals in war thunder are mad overrated tho
I have topped soviet teams (teams that involve users of 2S38 and KA 50 as well as SU25) in a t80UM2 that doesn't even get access to thermals or the best Russian shell (tbh I didnt even research the intermediate shell it gets)
So the best and only advantage of TURMS does not mean much to me
@@magnum6763not like the lineup matters since nobody knows how to use it so facing 10.0 russia is an almost guaranteed win
Based, I got the turms cause everyone said it was amazing and I fucking hate it. I get one tapped every time, or I peek a hill, kill someone and then remember I can't reverse so I die. I've been using the t80um2 and not relying on thermals has given me a far better eye for spotting tanks. It's also a t80 chassis so it's not slow as shit. Turms is not as good as everyone thinks it is.
@@isr4el187 it seems like you dont know how to play top tier russia. The TURMS is only worth it for people who want an extra backup to vehicles like the 2S38 and BMP-2M. But overall the T-55AM-1 is what you should buy over the TURMS, and im pretty sure every review ive ever seen of the TURM also states that you should get the AM-1 because its not at such a competitive BR.
Moreover, the T-80B and U have to research thermal imagers, so it plays literally the exact same way as the UM-2 until you get them. As for the speed, its not much slower going forward, and it is slower going backwards, which at 10.0 is the exact same as every other SOV MBT that isnt the T-80, which is when they "started" to fix the issue (somewhat).
"72kph forwards and 39kph backwards in french" 💀
"39km per hour in french"
😎😎😎
M1 KVT or Merkava 2D? As universal tank.
M1 kvt
Yeah. As an American main i can confirm.
Yes but the freedom makes it better
@3:38 "in French"
lol.
If they'd really wanted to piss ppl off, err... I mean added value to the game, they should have put it in the Soviet tech tree.
This could have gotten the 120mm but m829, allowing for similar pen as the other big three. How the hell the trums is 10.0 but not 10.3.
Clearly you have never used the turms. It sucks. All it has going for it is the thermals and round.
@@FXIIBeaver That is true I never play it, but playing against it you have two players noobs and veterans. When someone is playing distance(since a good amount of maps are open fields) for it br it has a powerful round and can tank shot well. Up close it probably a draw, he has better armor, nato tanks have better traversal turret speed.
@@Hawkeye6941 the armor is not that good.
I mean...do people expect Gaijin NOT to hate the US? They're literally still 90% staffed and owned by Russians...
But we also pay the most so...
I always luv ur sass
Review the Object 435, that should be really good.
Jack, are you okey?
M735 getting nerfed in the new update is pretty dumb
Has anyone tried the UK? Don’t start complaining until you’re a UK main
Sad they treat Murica this bad. When we know America has top of the line Army and Good equipment. SMH Good thing I paid half price for the M1 KVT!!
Is it a good tank? I'm thinking of buying it.
@@INeatFreak it’s a good tank. Just make sure don’t play in a higher tier. Stay in the tier it’s supposed to be or else other tanks high tier are going to cook you. But it’s a real fun tank once you get used to it.
@@INeatFreak I don’t think it’s worth $60 or $70. If I’m paying full price I’m going with the Leopard or click bait US
@@Rick-yj4nfdude I bought it. And am really really struggling. Every tank is indestructible when I play
@@Nehiyaw18 lol, it will take time.. But, yes it’s a tank with no armor the moment you get hit. The tank turns into a tin can.. Also that snake of Gailjan they are bias America is probably the weakest 10.0 and Up.
Greetings, if you're thinking of playing War Thunder or any other Gaijin game on a console, Do Not Do It! Trust me, they will treat you like a second-class player, deny you access to sales, special vehicles, and the Gaijin Market Place, so if you’re reading the comments from other players and you think it’s bad, just play as a console player, Gaijin will 💩💩 on you. And if you need some assistance from their customer services as a console player forget about it!
Imagine complaining about your nation being hated when you’re not maining France
French are neglected the most however the USA is neglected a shit ton as well especially for being apart of the big 3
I think it’s time for reverse to be called Russian
What if you are up tiered …. What like every game 😂
Just give the M1 M833
hello jaack
buys vehicle which has good mobility
complains about armor and firepower
Bruh.
The Leo 2A4 PzBtl 123 is nigh identical in terms of mobility any yet has a 120mm cannon at 10.3. US had their historically accurate 120mm removed because ??????. They could have made it 10.7 if they were that scared of '''balance'''.
Saaaakoooooooo❤❤❤❤
I am currently playing t80 always fighting this m1 , and i love killing them
Best ground premium in the game aside from the 2A4 and CV90105.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And our win rate is going to get worse
Copied tankensteins video
How did I copy lol?
lol they have to "balance" so the T-Series have a good foothold
Looks like this tank actually sucks, don't know why reddit says it's good
