    Probably poorly because they couldn't be maintained.

      What do you mean a WWII field depot mechanic doesn't know how to work on a multifuel gas turbine?

      They would have slaughtered everything they were sent against, night time would simply be target practice for a Abrams.

      Both of these are correct.

    Worse than you might think.

    poorly since they wouldn't have any logistics in place to supply and maintain it, no spare parts, no knowledge of how to repair it, no ammunition production for it, no tanker would know how to operate it properly, the list goes on.

      Obviously the OP is asking the question hypothetically, just assume they have a magic logistics portal to drive them through and they come out reloaded, maintained and refueled.

        Does that include bridging equipment because most European bridges can't support their weight?

          The challenger weighs more. And trust me, Uk roads are shit poor and not maintained.

        They completely stomp any resistance, you’ve only made the question more moronic.

        How many M1s? Because if it's anything less than a *WWII* US mech division's worth, it'll do little in the grand scheme, even with war thunder ground assault arcade repair portal mechanics.
        Aside from the issues with road and bridge infrastructure likely definitely not supporting a SEPv3's weight, German gunners (lmao at trying to use Abrams on Iwo or Guadalcanal) would eventually figure out that the unstoppable tan killboxes still have engines and treads, and will go for mobility kills.

      The vehicle might survive, but the crew would be killed.

    Assuming logistics and maintiance came with it.
    It would dominate, while arty, bombs and some of the heavier tanks would pose a threat the fact it can make accurate shots while doing 60km/h will make it near impossible to hit.

    The big question is; how would an Abrams company do against, say, a SchwerePanzerAbteilungen? Assuming the SPA has all-stars in it like Carius, Klispen, etc?

    Abrams still comes out on top, by a mile, but the U.S. probably still gets some tread knockouts and engine hits, just because the Tiger skippers are good at what they do.
