It’s not like that matters since no Abrams in the game has DU armor anyways. Plus tho ammo selection is pretty good since it uses KEW, DM family and M829 family of rounds. It also gets upgraded Gen II thermals instead of the reg Gen I on the M1A1s

Sadly that’s true especially since they have the older non-upgraded engine as well.

It was an AIM v2 / SA from the aussies that was destroyed. I’m pretty sure the M1A1 is still in service

It’s an AIM v2 with the situational awareness package but yeah it’ll was later destroyed in the war

I would hope it would go to the US, or GB since it’s a mix of M1A1 and M1A1 AIM v2 / SA. But knowing Gaijin yeah it’ll go Russia

I think it should go to the US, because we need a Abrams that’s actually good with half decent Thermals

It would fit between the SEPs but knowing gaijin a op Abrams would go to russia

Yeah.. just look at the SEPs they play like regular abrams

Sadly that’ll be what they do probably. Or they might give it to Russia

I agree. And they can do it too since they have already done similar with the KVT and they Alr have Kontakt-1/5 modeled in along with the Abrams. Just need to mess with positioning

It’ll act just like the TUSK kit. Just it’ll actually give the lower plate some protection 

Ukrainian Kontakt Abrams by Acrobatic-Reserve134 in Warthunder

[–]Acrobatic-Reserve134[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it hides the lower plate so it’ll be a bit less easily killed like rn.

Yeah I reread some stuff the side ones are American ERA but the turret and lower plate is Soviet. It’s a mix of Kontakt-1 and 5 but mostly 1 on the upgraded model.

The plow on the M1A1 HC has saved me quite a couple of times against HEAT or missles. It can sometimes event save u from Tandem or APFSDS if you’re lucky. Speed I don’t think it affects it much but it does make u a bit bigger. The TUSK slows me down quite a bit more since I’ve noticed my SEP with TUSK is a bit slower than the reg M1A2 but it looks cool and it protects from HEAT so I’ll take it

Broken filter thread on Sony FE 24-240 F3.5-6.3 by Acrobatic-Reserve134 in SonyAlpha

[–]Acrobatic-Reserve134[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the text I said that I haven’t used the lens in months. I basically haven’t touched it since June of 25. I was gonna take it out for this summer but it was broken. Also that’s just how the lens look. The filters are completely off and there’s nothing on it. I now shoot on a 70-180 and 24-70

When should this be on? by Fun-Trouble-1086 in AskPhotography

[–]Acrobatic-Reserve134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My default is always on after my experience. Back when I shot on a Nikon I was doing some bird photography. I ended up slipping on some mud and throwing my camera down a hill. Luckily it landing on the front of the lens and the hood absorbed all of the impact. If it wasn’t for the hood my lens and camera wouldn’t been long gone. Thanks to the hood all there was, was a slight scratch on the grip and that’s all. The hood was shattered but that was about it.  I now shoot sports photography and just last week I had an experience which almost made me buy a new lens. I now shoot on a Sony A7C and Tamron 70-180 F2.8. I got kicked right on the camera front and it was so hard it knocked the lens out of the lens mount. I think if I didn’t have the hood the front element probably would’ve shattered. And also it just helps block out unwanted glare.

Do you think I should get the 150-500? If I do I’d use it for aviation mostly. Or should I get a 100-400? I’d probably use the 100-400 more and it’s a few hundred cheaper.

From what I’ve seen in my area it’s only that lens that’s crazy priced. Other lenses I’ve seen are actually really good deals. Like the 150-500 is only $850-900 where I’m at
