T90 vs M1A2

Re: T90 vs M1A2

Going off the supply crate theory; he may have had a buddy out of your line of sight that was repairing him. As for the hits. How were you positioned? Was he lower than you? often times the tank that had the lower ground will win as he can aim up with ease, but you would have a harder time aiming down. If he had a supply box, another engineer with, was on a lower level, or had a combination of those it would be easy for him (even with moderate skill) to take you down.

Re: T90 vs M1A2

Wow, I'm just glad to see that everyone knows that the M1 is the most beastly tank this army has. However, I hate to say it but....even the real ones have weak points...the hodgies have weapons that can pierce the side armor like butter.

The hadjis don't have anything that pierces Abrahms main battle tanks like butter, or really much at all. Look up how many M1s were disabled in both Gulf wars. Conventional troops along with tanks haven't served up many Abrahms, period. Up-Armored HMMWVs even stand up quite well against most of what the insurgents have thrown at us. The IEDs made from 90-120mm arty rounds do quite a bit of damage, but that's freaking ARTY ROUNDS! Almost every Abrahms that WAS disabled, the crew made it out alive. Depleted uranium armor is quite tough. It takes DU rounds to really pierce it. Not many Iraqis had kinetic DU rounds in stock when we rolled up in there...

Re: T90 vs M1A2

M1A2 has a lot of sweetspots where a tank round can do double damage (1 kill) or near 90% damage. T90 doesnt really have that thing. Going against T90 with M4A1 can be compared to a MiG vs F35B fight.

The T-90 does have the same sweet spot. The main cannon has to be pointed up pretty high to hit it, though.

... and for the not-so-armour experienced, that sweet spot is where? :)

Actually, the spot is supposed to be easier to hit on MEC/PLA tanks than on the M1...

In real life 1 SRAW would blow away a T90

Re: T90 vs M1A2

I HATE the M1, T-90 seems alot more stable to me, I know theyre both pretty much the same, but the T-90 feels stronger to me, I love the sights, you actually have a clear view as compared to the M1.

But like everyone else said, got for the tracks, I usually finish off enemy tanks in 1 or 2 shots this way, since most tanks rarely run around the field undamaged already with the amount of damage done from just driving let alone all the at guys running around.

:laugh: How I so wish the anti-tank weapons in this game were true to life, imagine what we could do with them.

Re: T90 vs M1A2

T-90< Russian designed
M1A2< American designed
T-90 Ftw.
But the M1A2 is top 3 best in the world right now.
In the game it might suck, but in real life it owns.

lol the russians know how to designe stuff.

Yes, it's possible, aim for the top armor of the turret. Or top of the glacis plate? Or just a really good angle so to wedge the shot between the turret and glacis. Though it's still impossible for the tank to blow up immediately, it leaves the tank with 1 or two life bars so it blows up in a very short while.

It's done by aiming the tube at the top of the tank, I mean far up. More than halfway to the target, you aim the tube back at the tank, between the turret and glacis. The missile then curves back to the tank and hits it at an angle.

Re: T90 vs M1A2

I wish the guns in this game had a more realistic power and such. The Barrett should be 1 hit kill i'm sorry that basterd round would cut you in half.

Nope.

There is a spot on the both sides of the tank, at which you can shoot for the round to bounce or richochette (spelling...) giving you a one hit kill on the M1A2. Its a VERY easy to find spot and easy to get to. T90, I havent had the success in repeating the process on that one.

Richochette in BF2 is such an amazing thing... Especially after youve blown up the USMC APC with a 50 cal machine gun.

no it wouldn't
A javelin might but a T90 has enough reactive armour to roll away battereed but with the crew alive

Re: T90 vs M1A2

I as an old "armor whore" have an opinion on this subject

In my 500+ hrs., 41,700+ kills, & 10,300+ deaths in every heavy tank in BF2/SF/AF/EU I have never noticed any appreciable difference in the heavy armored vehicles (740+ hrs. in Karkand, 200+ hrs in Ghost, & 190+ hrs. in Sharqi)

It is my firm opinion that outcome of battle between these "behemoths" is in the individual players knowlege of the "tricks of the trade"

It is my most humble of opinions that the T90/M1A1 "match up" is more level than any other weapons types in all of BF2 including fighters, heli's, AT rockets, rifles, carbines, & shotguns

I must conclude that the F35/J-10 ananlogy is "rubbish", when I am in the F-35 I avoid J-10's like they are "the plauge", & concentrate on "close ground support" (unless the pilot is a COMPLETE n00b), but when in the M1A1 Abrams MBT I snack on T-90's like they are Dorito's (can't have just 1) lol
