Battlefield 3.

thumbs up if you came here because of battlefield 3

Ah, I will end your argumentation guys. Go to google and find logs about US friendly fire in Gulf War. Then stick those logs into the american ass and win the fight :-). Abrams got destroyed even without penetration. (not really a fault in Abrams design, its just physics. Penetration consumes energy. When armor is not penetrated, then all the energy is transofrmed to the heat and shock wave in armor destroying other parts of the tank.)

Heh, two kids fighting to death about whose lie is better.

[torcidaSTobrec]

@bobsharks29 yes but thats not enough

[bobsharks29]

@torcidaSTobrec they now recently call it the t 90 because of some modern technology like thermal sightings, reactive armour, the secret gyro system, a new engine and more

[torcidaSTobrec]

russian tanks are shit!, the t-90 is only a t72 with reactive armour!

@theanonimousefag Really! Maybe you should do some reading also. All tanks can be penetrated but what I said was "PENETRATED ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE CREW COMPARTMENTS." The key word is ALL THE WAY THROUGH...You are a dumdass. How many tank crews did the Russians lost in the T-72/T-80 during the Chechen war? Compare that to how many tank crew the Americans lost in Iraq.....LOL! Do some research dumbass! Russian-Chechen War Documentary 2/2 on you tube. Now Slap yourself for being stupid...LOL!

@quickzilver333

Are mentally retarded because if you do some damn reading you can see that abrams tanks have been penetrated there are a lot of documented cases of this shit happening

[acidburn134]

@quickzilver333

Also the Abrams has been penetrated by enemy combatants. Again another fail on your parts. If you would simply utilize the internet to do some reading you can go ahead and figure that out yourself. I'll give you a clue since you might not be able to piece that last sentence together, google History of M1 Abrams, enjoy reading, if you can read that is. You might need someone to read it for you LOL!

@quickzilver333

You can't back up your points you are trying to make, arguing in a circle. I'm not denying a single thing you can go back and read every post I've made while you argue yourself in a circle. You still haven't provided any sources to your "chechen hunter killer teams". Show me the tank losses and back up your point. It's so simple, you're wrong, but too stupid to notice it, you can't even form a readable sentence. Get out of highschool first, then try to argue LOL!

[quickzilver333]

@acidburn134 Why would I provide information you already know? It is already proven that the Armor of T72s and T-80s is inferrior. ERA or not it should be able to protect the crew like the Abrams. You are just denying all the facts that you even provided. Did the T-72/T-80 Armor during the Chechen war got penetrated all the way through "YES". Did the Abrams Armor got penetrated all the way through "NO". Did the Russian crew survived"NO" did the American crew survived "YES"..Its that simple.LOL!
