M1 Abrams The T-72 Killer || Gunner, Heat, PC!

[@swiftcore_]

For extremely close range engagements, it's good to switch to your auxiliary sight by pressing C. It's situated closer than the gun than the primary sight, so you'll be able to tell if your gun has cleared the berm in front of you-that way you won't send a round into the dirt instead of hitting your target.

[@johnlove3461]

Loved the GAS engagements during Table VI. Been Distinguished and my best ever gunnery score was 979/1000. Dropped a partial engagement when my loader had a failure to feed during the Simultaneous engagement.

@@-Zevin- It wasn't that bad either, It served well in the gulf war at least.

[@-Zevin-]

@@laparca06 Lets be real the m60 was more of a fire support weapon in the gulf war, while M1 did all the anti tank work. In that sense a Panzer 3 or StuG could have done what the m60 did. Now there is the case of the Marine push on the airport where numerous tanks were destroyed including T-72. The M-60, even as old as it was, was significantly more sophisticated in optics, laser rang finding thermals etc. than anything Iraq had. Yet what Iraq had wasn't even in the same ballpark as much older Soviet armor. These export model T-72 had none of the computerization, optics or even armor of modern Russian/Soviet armor. They essentially operated like a Tank right out of WW2, glass optics, manual aiming, in a more modern package with a autoloader. They were better than using a T-34-85 but only just. This led to a overinflated comparison between soviet/Russian armor and American armor superiority. While if Iraq was operating state of the art T-80 or T-72 with all the modern upgrades they would have held a massive advantage over the M-60s. The technology bolted onto the M-60 made all the difference, more than the tank itself. It would have been just as lopsided for instance if Iraq had modernized T-72 and the us was using Vietnam era M60.

I disagree that the AI is non threatening. You're only gonna see the best runs Wolfpack has in his videos but if you're playing mission after mission you can quickly get wrecked by enemies in good positions. In particular, playing as the Soviets going against the M2 and M1 combo'd up is practically suicide.

[@hazmatgamer]

You forget that you can't repair and heal the crew like war thunder. So if you get shot. It's a threatening situation. And the crew can't compensate each other work. If driver dies. He dies. And your tank will be immobilized for the rest of that mission. If loader dies. Your tank can't reload for the rest of the mission. If gunner dies. You can't shoot. If commander die. No one will call out the enemy position.

[@Salvatore...23]

The real drawback of the Russian T72 T80 T90 tanks is gravity, in the sense that the Russian tanks are accurate in the firing of their cannon up to 1000 meters then gravity wins and their firing becomes inaccurate, while the firing of all western tanks is accurate up to 3000 meters having superior technology to Russian tanks, plus many other things including the ability to take shots Western infantry support is also vastly superior to the Russians, having superior armor to that of the Muscovites and having missiles capable of precisely attacking Russian tanks

Great game, but It is a pity that the real combined arms combat is not implemented in the game (yet?). For the M1, it’s more likely that not the T-72s will go, but the KA-52s will arrive. In modern combat, it is rare that tanks simply oppose each other, without aviation support. Aircraft/artillery/infantry are controlled by AI and players control tanks. Then the game would be most realistic.

Soviet tank crews aren't trained to fire on the move. Gunner uses the stabilized gun and sight to acquire the target, the driver then short halts for the gunner to fire. Auto reload on the move is not much better than 4 rpm. WP tank gunnery training calls for 30 second engagement sequence, unlike NATO crews, the best of which can get off 10 rpm at close (1000 meter) range targets.

Сомневаюсь, что с них будет много толку. Леопард и абрамс машины не плохие, но советские танки они броней и пушкой не превосходили. Плюсами западных танков являлись система управления огнем и приборы наблюдения, в остальном танки СССР не хуже. Танки на Украине редко воюют с танками, в основном танки уничтожает либо артиллерия и авиация, либо человек с гранатомётом. Советский танк в этом отношении лучше, во первых он ниже, и соответственно в него тяжелее попасть, во вторых они покрыты динамической защитой, которая действительно спасает от кумулятивных боеприпасов, если же по советскому танку стреляет артиллерия, то опять же шансов больше, по той причине, что броня толще в бортах в несколько раз чем у западных ( на т72 на сколько помню 80мм, на леопарде вроде 20-40мм). А если возвращаться к вопросу кто кого пробьет, то не забывайте про фугасные боеприпасы на танки СССР, им даже леопард пробивать не нужно, попадание снаряда с 5кг взрывчатки с большей долей вероятности выводит танк из строя. Так же основной боеприпас 3БМ42 " манго", должен пробивать леопард в лоб башни, практически куда угодно, но в защиту могу сказать, что и российским танкам будет в таких боях не легко. В целом я считаю, что ничего хорошего западные танки на Украине не ждёт, хотя бы из за логистических проблем, касающихся запчастей и людей кто эти танки будет обслуживать. Возить танки на ремонт в Польшу, довольно долго. А если брать обещанные леопард 1, то это даже не смешно, он и т62м не конкурент. Время покажет
