Side armor was changed to at least 20mm:
Though the underlying plate is still 15mm instead of 20 - 25mm.
Though it is resistant to 30mm autocannon fire from 500 meters:
These facts are not a representation of my opinions.
Balaninov, give the VT5’s true Armor to us! Such a waste from Poland！
To be fair, I didn’t see a LFP bug report using the new evidence acquired.
Just old bug reports closed for lack of evidence.
there is a line on the LFP still possible to be pened by 12.7 APT
not surprising through, it seems like a modeling error
plus there are a few small parts on the turret and mantlet still possible to be pened by 12.7 APT as well
Yes, at 0 meters which no IRL military or military contractor tests on.
Though fixing the LFP to 20mm would fix that issue.
just testing the thickness, also I tested it at 500 meters, they are the results
just to add some more, 12.7 APT at 500 meters to the side
But what about the basket that FABRICATED by Gaijin? Pictures shown above can definitely show that the VT-5 didn’t have a basket in real world.
it gets only top and bottom like leo and abrams
The armor protection of the VT5 needs to be strengthened.
But it’s still strange as when the ground is hit won’t inflect the gunners to change the direction of the turrent. Currently none have submitted the evidence showing that the ground is connected to the turrent.
still different, these bars in middle has damage model
did they? I didnt test them yet
you can test it with auto cannon apfsds
That’s acceptable to me, especially if I was a crew I’d be more concerned about escaping and repairing the vehicle more than shooting back.
It’s firing a round better than 120mm DM33 at 10.7.
I doubt that considering Leopard 2’s doesn’t.
So it is. I was looking for a round to test.
@TheFinalStarman
Only the turret was designed that way, and yes the turret composite is an issue in-game.
The add-on armor version of 36 tons could make the hull resistant.
Gotta fix the turret.
They are never going to fix the turret, even the 36 ton one will suffer. If they really wanted to fix the turret then they would have done it by now.
