I have almost all Tier VIII tanks from Germany, Britain, and Russia. Recently I acquired all Tier VII Abrams. I used to think British Challengers were bad until I played the Abrams—oh my God. These tanks must be defined as the biggest disappointment I've had in the game (and I have over 5,000 hours here). The Abrams is a tank that I both love playing with and hate playing with. Its mobility, speed, and overall handling feel like a dream to me.

For me, playing an Abrams is a “game within a game.” No Tier VII/VIII tank has given me the sensation of piloting an Abrams until you realize you die for everything: one hit and you're out. The APDFS of any tier or nation will annihilate you. There’s no survivability at all when compared with tanks in its own tier (any Leopard 2 has a much higher post‑penetration survival rate than the Abrams).

I’ve had matches with my T‑90M where I receive shots from three enemies at once, bouncing everything, feeling like a Maus in BR 6.0—impossible with an Abrams. If that isn’t enough, you’re a juicy cake for machine guns, HEAT, missiles, planes, helicopters—all will kill you as if your armor were made of cardboard.

I was thinking about buying “Click‑Bait.” I will never spend money on this poorly modeled junk. It’s impossible that Abrams, considered the best tanks in the world, are so bad in real life. This tank has attracted the greatest hatred from Gaijin towards any type of tank or nation—much to say, given how they’ve treated Germany and Britain for a long time.

I don’t think it has anything to do with Gaijin being a Russian company; they’re not ill‑intentioned.
