My M1 is at 0.14 with a 1.3 aim time. Could get accuracy to go down a we bit more if i wanted to put any accuracy equipment on but no need. Love this tank
I usually hold on to the lowest tier tank of each era in CW, and the M1 is no exception, it can hold its own against tanks one or two tiers higher than itself. I am currently grinding out the M1A1, but I don’t think I’ll bother with the M1A2 for the moment. The only reason I sold my Chieftain 11 after grinding it out was its lack of speed compared to the follow on Challengers. The Type 88A is so good that I’m not going to bother with the follow-on Type 85-I, as it doesn’t offer anything more than its predecessor. Keep up the good work, mate. 👍
Great tank, my first Era3 tank and I had a huge sigh of relief after grinding through the terrible M60s in Era2 (pre the M60A2) - went full on ramming build with the Abrams line and bullied the T-72s... kind of forgot about it as Era3 gameplay went stale quite quickly back then (pre any other lines, lights, atgms). Might go back and revisit this one
This is a great tank. The only problem is the normal pen. The lower plate of t72s cannot be penned apart from the weakpoint and the tank really struggles against leopards. Otherwise a good camo and gun build will be insane. I will say though with a good equipment setup you actually get the 72kmh max speed in the m1a2. Personally I prefer the a2 but I’m grinding to buy this tank once again
Just got this tank now and have to say WOW my 1st game was 8k damage with 1600 assist, got my dpm down to 4.23 seconds reload for over 6700dpm, only problem I found on that game was when you frontally went against the M1A1 and M1A2 the premium 493mm of pen on the stock gun bounced 100% of the time, only time I pen them is when they gave me their sides, so I'm looking forward to unlocking the upgraded gun eventually.
I believe the US Army upgraded the M1 to the M1A1 just prior to Desert Storm to give the tank the 120mm smoothbore cannon. I do not believe any stock 105mm Abrams were used. The Marines were still using their upgraded (ERA covered) M60A3's in 1991.
When I first got the m1 there was only t72s and it got bullied hard. Since then it's had a buff and we have a lot more variety in era3 so I can see why the DPM would be an advantage. I forgot about the cool skins ,I'm going to re buy the m1. Great video 👍
It’s all crazy for me a warthunder player seeing a game were an APFSDS doesn’t enter the front of your teeth, head canoe, somebody and then exit the rear.
A bottom tier of era 3 that can compete to tanks two tiers higher than it, this is one of the reasons you should grind the American line. I enjoyed the M1, one marked it within 50 games. This has to be the best bottom tier era 3 heavy, in my opinion.
I like this tank just wanted to say, is it me or does the M1 engine, sound like a washing machine on spin cycle? 🤔Maybe thats where they got sound effect? Lol
I must say the M1 is a good tank, the issue I had with it was the armor and penetration values.. back in the earlies Going up against T-72BU's was a task with this tank.. I have marks on all my abrams sadly I sold this one to buy the A1.
Meanwhile Rikki is only firing premium rounds….bc there is SOMETHING the M1 greatly lacks! The abrams line is nerfed as a whole bc of the game overmatch mechanics…. In the game the leopard line is light years better than Abrams line in every measure
I agree. It might be possible that everyone who play this game already knows you have no choice but to run premium ammo at all times in a bottom tier Era 3. I mean if you want to do decently well that is. This is just a game. No reason to get butt hurt because you are cheap. Try spending more time on your "rap" career so you can spend a tiny amount of money to have fun rapr
@@williamsavant6430 I have no problem spending silver on rounds when needed but it pathetic when a tank requires them to compete. Sorry I don’t need premium ammo all the time to be a unicum player and mark my tanks. Get good scrub
thats all very. Well riki. But dont you earn , much more silver in the M1A2.. Iv played the M1. and M1A2. For me personally. I prefer. the M1A2, the frontal armour way.. Is superior, You. Know what think,i think ?your new to M1A2, you havent give it enough time. Your an excellent Player,you need to give it. More time, riki. !? Learn to really appreciate The armour , and way better handling.. It. will become much better.just need time .
Accuracy for the M60AX can be brought down to .10
after .25 I see no difference in accuracy

It’s rare for most tanks to feel nice stock, and I reckon the M1 is one of them

Thanks for clarifying 👍🏼
M60 ax used the same gun so if you own it don’t really need the m1 so i sold mine, it was good though

Will your review the leopard2a5/ if the line is good
Equipment?
I grinded out this one in a single day and got the M1A1, which is even better!
I just got the m1 today, my first era3 tank (thank you XP with interest), and I'm curious what equipment to run with it.
I find if you play the M1 and run with the big dogs on your team people sort of ignore you and you can farm dmg like nobody's business.
ive only been playing this game on pc for like a week now, is the Abrams on the pc version?
No, the modern tanks are console only.
@@Rikitikitavedamn that’s disappointing
Just got the M1 great review!
Have you tried going hull down?
Doesn't make any difference.
I agree I find the M1 more enjoyable to play than the M1A2 so I will be buying it again.😃
How? It's the same thing but smaller gun , engine and weaker armor lol
I just got a 20k combined in this tank today would love to send you the gameplay
Can someone help me with XP i have grinded so much and each battle i only get like 300 xp and that's terrible 😢
Are you playing Co-op or Multiplayer?
@Rikitikitave I have been playing CO OP
@@hunterbishop4143 That'll be why, co op earns less xp. If you want good xp, you'll need to switch to Multiplayer.
@@Rikitikitave thank you so much and the tank I'm trying to grind is the m1 Abrams line
@@Rikitikitave just to let you know you are like the best wot UA-camr ever god bless you and your family 🙏
Can you do a video for fv4211??
ua-cam.com/video/XMTQKPJPy1Y/v-deo.html
Quick question, how do i set up my HUD to show player tank data on the upper left
Agree on everything. Its absolutly a keeper. Like playing a M8AGS,with a bit more armor. 🇳🇴☕

How did those standard ammo rounds work out for you? Or did you run your tank like Rikki does in this video?
@@RAPR117 Pretty good, I won’t use the gold rounds unless I want to three mark this thing.
I got it today , it is so much fun !
I like this tank just wanted to say, is it me or does the M1 engine, sound like a washing machine on spin cycle?
🤔Maybe thats where they got sound effect? Lol
I’m currently about 32,000xp away from getting this tank. I’m sooooo looking forward to it!

from every aspect, AMX40 is way much better than M1, but also true, M1 certainly a fun tank.

Prior to this video and during the entirety of the grind I fired standard ammo. Have switch to gold since I am going for the 3 mark.
