I love the Abrams, I played WR for 2 years no premium, then my friend done me a great favor and bought me a premium along with the XM 1 and A-10 Early so I could grind out the US faster. Loved top tier and the XM and was about to get the M1 Abrams, then bs happened and I’m starting all over again. But the most I can remember is that top tier is super fast paced and you don’t stop moving unless you’re behind solid cover
What's the BS that happened? I'm just curious because I bought an old friend premiums and everything but he just doesn't play the game... He prefers games like dead by daylight for some reason. But regardless I was pretty miffed because the jackass didn't tell me not to get him premiums, he took advantage of my generosity. Never again. So I'm curious if what ever "BS" between you two resulted in you no longer being friends anymore?

In Arma 3 , I spent 2 years using s Leapord 2 . and I unlocked a skill called steel sniper, that is killing a moving tank at more than 3.5 kms. My longest tank kill in Arma 3 was 5.7 km. But I did love the sound of the M1A2 Tusk when it started up
@tomusklisus7381 degradation of penetration capabilities. It wouldn't be amazingly useful but it should give the Abrams a chance to survive certain angles of high deflection rather than just die.
You should use the M1A1 AIM, M1A1 HC, M1A2 and SEP's MPAT or M830A1 which has a 10 meter proximity fuse for low flying helicopters. Also the ADATS the SAM you were using has missiles that pen 900 mm so you can use it against MBTs.
That was a bit rough homie. Lol don't skyline on that winter map if they have the tops already. Stay in the valleys and ambush as best you can. The buttons are a ball buster in this game, and I highly recommend you check a RUclipsr like OddBawz, I think he showed how he sets up his keyboard once or twice. It's A LOT of buttons for this game sometimes, and you definitely want to be doing stuff constantly with something like the LAV or the brADATS.
Gaijin is okay with Russian magik dokuments for armor values for Russian tanks but if they have to reference anything for other countries they just leave a section of the hull empty and armorless instead.
The dmg model on the M1A1 and M1A2 has always been a little wonky, but overall i love Abrams, i do most of my best games in them when i dont get killed by choppers or planes. The Tusk ERA plates on the side of the new SEP M1A2 was really good in beta in fact it originally was able to block 120mm of kinetic energy rounds and it was outperforming all other tanks at top tier surviving side shots that would kill most MBTs, so Gaijin hit it with a nerf bat purposefully reducing the Kinetic energy round block to 20mm instead of the 120mm. Now its slightly armored M1A2 instead of a game changer, wish they would hit the BVM with the same ERA nerf bat that hit the M1A2 SEP.
You should try the Japanese Type 10 MBT if you can, it may not have as much armor as the Abrams but it has a secret weapon, it's loading time, combined with it's good penetration, great thermals, hydropneumatic suspension and good mobility it's a good tank. What is sad about the Type 10 is the fact that it lacks alot of armor.
As a type 10 player，what I usually do is using your great hydrop suspension and get into some hall down position behind hills. Take a shot a back off. The reverse speed of Type 10 is great and you can literally doge shell from a long distance if your LWR lights up.
i suppose all the main MBTs are roughly the same size, bar the Russians whioch are much smaller and the rather TITANIC Challenger 2, which in TES spec weighs night on 80tonnes, which makes it the heaviest armour fighting vehicle ever deployred in active service, the record was previously held the the Damn Jagtiger from WW2, it held it for around 78 years, just about its own weight funnily enough xD
Pretty sure in a situation that a M1A2 has its engine disabled the systems would be switched to running off the vehicles APU instead of draining the batteries.
Trick with the LAV is you don't use it at all. If you are forced to use it then its range is mediocre and provides only close range air defense. For MBT's you need to aim center mass RIGHT UNDER the turret and on the driver port. Knowing the crews location and ammunition location will turn you into a surgeon that 1 hit kills enemies. Different MBT can have different weak spots. ADATS is a anti air anti tank weapon but Gaijin has nerfed the explosive damage to it's rockets. Different air defense weapons have different effective range. M1A2 SEP .... DON'T USE TUSK. Its just makes you heavier with a larger hit box profile. Good luck.
100k squadron xp till i will get M1 AIM, finaly my dreamed abrahams comes true 😎 its second best M1 in game (because it has gen 3 thermals and all other abrahams have only gen 1 themarls)
Awesome video again! If you know how to play a leopard 2 you also know how to play the abrams, same gun, same weakneses, but no autoloader. I hope you post more war thunder videos in the future (btw i sugest puting some custom sights on your tanks, there are some cool irl gun sights available)
That first match, you should have turned your hull to face those enemies on your left flank instead of sitting side-on in front of them. That's what got you killed. Remember; thickest armor towards the threat! That is just basic tanker 101 stuff.
It's funny actually. In the last WT tanks video I did, there's so many comments telling me not to use the gunner sight view and you're the first one telling me to actually use it haha. Can't please everyone, I guess.
It's okay to say that the Abrams is underpowered in War Thunder. After all, Russian MBTs have a specific feature that allows them to take hits to the ammo and not die.

The ADATS' missiles can be used for both surface to air and AT. The ADATS is commonly known as Anti DAT Shit
and if you're asking what "Dat" is. just take your right index finger and point it at literally anything
common russian badger reference W
@@fulcrumR6 not specifically Russian Badger
The SEP should have better armor in the turret and hull front, but they just conveniently didn’t add that
The tusk v1 also should be more useful but its not Russian so it doesn't even get to perform at normal capacity let alone completely overperform
@tomusklisus7381 pretty much but it should have some effect on kinetic rounds.

It's missing the Depleted Uranium inserts. If we get the SEP v3 or v4 we should also get Trophy APS.
You should try the tanks with active protection systems like the black night and Merkava MK.4

M1A2 Sep is missing next gen DU plates.
It has the same armor profile in game as the base M1A2, which is itself missing first gen DU plates.

So they nerfed 120mm kinetic even though the bvm also has 120mm kinetic, huh. Sounds about russian biassssss
Yeah it sucks considering how in reality the Abrams is the best protected tank in the world

Try the T-72 Turms next. That reverse speed is its secret weapon. It does look cool though.
😂 no
Survivability and effectiveness aside, i like the look of russian tanks more than western tanks.
What the hell 5kph reverse speed is a secret weapon?!?
@@cyrilli1546 Yes.
The M1A2 SEP is a SEP v1, not a SEPv2 or v3
it's a SEPv1 modeled incorrectly.
6:34 the missiles have a lot of penetration and are excellent against tanks
2:08 can somebody explain me how did he set the exact distance right after the rangefinder did his job?
There's a control for the rangefinder (increase and decrease) in the settings. I bind mine to the mouse wheel so I can do it quickly.
@@PanzerPaw OOOH ok i understand. Thanks!
You can use binos to range find aswell.
Pretty sure in a situation that a M1A2 has its engine disabled the systems would be switched to running off the vehicles APU instead of draining the batteries.
Definitely! I guess it's just for gameplay purposes but APUs don't seem to exist in WT.
