Russian Anti-tank Cluster Munition does close to 0 damage to an Abrams

Is it normal that all the cluster bombs you can find on the Su-27 family (the anti-tank variants) do close to zero damage, on a target such as the Abrams ? It is bad enough that the launch options are not accessible.

 

MLRS rockets, such as from the M270 and Smerch also do close to no damage to an Abrams, where as they have the potential to destroy a T-90.

 

Even the HEAT S-8 rockets and fragmentation S-13/S-25 rockets can destroy it, but not the "ANTI-TANK" cluster bombs.

Yeah and tbf american clusters aren't much better either. We just need a total rework of the system something like IL2 or WT.

The MLRS rockets were changed a bit several patches ago. Both the Smerch and M270 had identical sub-munitions and did ludicrous damage on impact. If you managed to hit a carrier with one of those clusters it'd almost do enough damage to sink the ship. They made a more accurate cluster for the Smerch, which is more geared toward lighter armored vehicles than tanks. They also toned down the M270's clusters substantially, but it can still damage MBTs.

Interesting....

 

Couple of months back, MLRS would either kill or cripple down to 10% T-90s from the back, if it got a direct hit.... which is a BIG IF.... as the accuracy on artillery is abysmal, even when there is no wind or radius input.

 

From the front it barely did any damage to them, so if it could kill a carrier.... makes me wonder if the problems is in the munition or the damage model of the units.

 

There are so many discrepancies in vehicle armor..... Like SAM launchers which can't be blown up by 20MM HE or 7.62 AP.... or HE rockets.
