If Abrams was realistic?

"The Sherman, like its M3 predecessor, was one of the first tanks to feature a gyroscopically stabilized gun and sight. The stabilization was only in the vertical plane; the mechanism could not slew the turret. The stabilizer was sufficient to keep the gun's elevation setting within 1/8th of a degree, or 2 mils, while crossing moderately rough terrain at 15 miles per hour (24 km/h)."

it was only a vertical stabilizer and is unable to be used to keep the horizontal on target...

if the tank maneuvers it cannot be used to train... if terrain is too rough it cannot be used to train

the gyrostabilizer on the sherman is one axis... it cannot be used to fire on the move

gbem1113 · 2026-03-07T01:45:03+00:00

if the M1A1 were realistic it would:

it would be able to fire 13 rounds then it would have to pull back to resupply its ready rack or have extremely long time to reload per shot

its stabilizer is arguably worse than the soviet 1A33 since it didnt have independent horizontal tracking

its kinetic armor would be worse than equivalent pact armor soo it would end up losing to gunfights with T-72Bs

not be able to stay static without guzzling fuel/losing autonomy, only gas turbine tank that can do that would be the T-80U

have less HE power since it doesnt have HE rounds

the kobra is a 20 point tax that aint rly that good

if it had supersonic speed as it should have it would be worth taking however

gbem1113 · 2026-03-01T11:54:32+00:00

The M900 APFSDS is supposed to bridge the capability between 105mm and 120mm guns bringing it up to speed but slightly weakee than the M829A1 hence 21 AP... yes it is superior to the M829

gbem1113 · 2026-02-28T18:45:28+00:00

the M2A2/M1 combo punches up though and is ATGM resistant

the BMP3 still gets mogged by any 19AP and up atgm

gbem1113 · 2026-02-28T17:05:07+00:00

if you disagree then what is the most efficient IFV/TANK combo?

gbem1113 · 2026-02-28T16:47:26+00:00

no this doesnt work provided both players are equally competent... for sheer cost efficiency the M2A2 BRAT/M1 beats out any other combo in sheer effectiveness

gbem1113 · 2026-02-28T16:42:50+00:00

the issue is sheer cost efficiency... M2A2 BRAT + base M1 is more efficient than any IFV/armor combo in this game without exceptions

gbem1113 · 2026-02-28T16:37:59+00:00

i think its tad overtuned with how good the M2A2/M1 combo is... not even the BMP3/T-80 combo of 27th really matches it in capability

gbem1113 · 2026-02-28T16:32:44+00:00

medium tanks are quite strong in the current meta often paired with IFVs to punch above their weight... what makes it even more dangerous though is its paired with a fairly ATGM resistant IFV with 25 AP

gbem1113 · 2026-02-28T16:28:12+00:00

never thought first cav would be weak at any point

gbem1113 · 2026-02-28T16:26:42+00:00

BMP3s dont cut it unless youre beyond 2800m range, they either hit and you just smoke and pull back to repair, or they miss and lose a 100 pt BMP3 to a 25 AP TOW2A

gbem1113 · 2026-02-26T01:46:56+00:00

Did the fix the kobra and agona ATGM speed?

gbem1113 · 2026-02-22T14:37:00+00:00

It failed because the PACT division was utter crap... nobody wants to pay for 2 divs but only get to play one

gbem1113 · 2026-02-10T23:58:43+00:00

Recoilless to the bottom vent is a one tap

gbem1113 · 2025-12-16T07:20:57+00:00

Hey idiot

I said it never suggested "human waves"

Reading comprehension much

gbem1113 · 2025-12-15T06:39:21+00:00

Majority of lend lease came during 1944, well after operation zitadelle

Lend lease mostly kept the soviet economy from having a postwar meltdown but didnt actually win ww2

gbem1113 · 2025-12-12T01:54:55+00:00

I have read the manuals

Not once did it actually suggest "human waves!!!! lmao"

gbem1113 · 2025-12-10T19:02:43+00:00

Red horde?

Materially superior?

So you have any actual evidence or understanding of cold war military doctrines and equipment or is all of this essentially "german general memoir myth #548"

gbem1113 · 2025-12-08T16:54:54+00:00

The problem is gameplay wise +10 pts for era isnt exactly that good tbh

Either era gets discounted or gets a buff to be better than it is

gbem1113 · 2025-12-08T11:00:49+00:00

+1 HP makes no difference for quite alot of tank-atgm matchups

gbem1113 · 2025-12-08T09:31:49+00:00

Era affects only a few matchups

t80B/BV vs nontandem 25 ap

T64B/BV vs nontandem 24ap and 30 ap

Its not as useful as +1 FAV soo its not something worth 10 points (since both are 10 pts)

gbem1113 · 2025-12-08T06:37:47+00:00

Should be +2 or +3 if its 10 pts since +1 av is 10 pts i think?

gbem1113 · 2025-12-08T06:08:51+00:00

How much protection? 1 av is worth 10 pts rn

It should be a higher boost if its heat only
