It would heavily depend on how good DU armor on LFP are. For example if it was 600mm vs KE same as M1A2 turret Cheek couple that with long fuel tank LOS. It might be able to stop M829A2 on certain place (mostly where fuel tank are locate)
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I don’t think this is an “artificial nerf”, but rather a simple model error that should be corrected, even looking at a picture of a real Abram’s turret ring vs the one in game and you can see it’s very slight taller than what it is IRL.
This is a quite minor difference though and is more like how the old Challenger 2’s model had the first plates of the mantlet extended a little bit to far towards the hull.
It won’t change much, but it’s wrong nonetheless.
even worse yall are dangerous to my wellbeing
It probably can tank 3bm46 at a certain range but not 3bm60 or something above
i read a few articles/forums that have alot of people saying/citing sources that looks like its in between the line of legit and completely made up
they all say new hull(sep v?-most likely sep v3) would have 600mm ke and 800mm ce and the turret is 800mm ke and 1200mm ce something
Nah if it really sensitive or classified . OP who post this image would delete it by now. And i’ll too.
Regarding SEPv3s armor we actually don’t even know if they still use DU within the new NGAP (next-generation armor package) armor composition. Considering sepv3 was a response to the t14 armata you can probably make a guestimation that it probably offers 600 plus armor on the hull. And that’s also based on the fact that the army in the early 90s in testing managed to get a 35% increase in KE on the m1a2s hull(550mm of armor) which was 30 years ago.

also one thing
shouldnt the middle side turret armor be able to withstand atleast 2s38 apfsds ingame?
so… now official sources from the Russian Ministry of Defense aren’t acceptable… bro wtf lol
An increase in HP doesn’t mean more armor protection, the engine was probably enhanced but is still the same engine. This was a pointless remark. Now if you had said they changed engines for a slightly bigger one sure but an increase in power means nothing in that sense
There is no mention of 3BM60 anywhere. And it is not an official document of the Russian MoD.

the thuret is actually 1 meter inside the hull
It’s a source but not a particularly great one.
the sep v1 already had over 620 mm of armor protection on the Hull. The V3 is over ranges of 740mm of protection on the hull at combat ranges. The Hull of the V3 is considerably longer / thicker than other abrams variants.
No source, no truth. This is not evidenced anywhere with any anywhere near reliable sources.
That is a lot of any I realised.

I just hope we get both SEPv3 with Trophy, and WITHOUT Trophy too, as a separate vehicle on a folder.
It would be the only way to at least have two MBTs with functional hull armor.

i never said it couldnt " fight " kinetic rounds
lmfao when russian mains find out that U.S Tanks are completely frontally immune to all your ammo and gaijin knows this we 're going to laugh you into the ground. The Standard D.U in the turret of the M1A2 increased the Protection of the turret by 260mm what makes you think it would be able to go through 3RD generation D.U on a SEP V3? LOL You russian mains are in-denial and this game has you gassed up on your own fumes.
GAIJN HAND HOLDS RUSSIAN VEHICLES none of you people seem to have the I.Q to figure out the U.S already has made your ammo inferior the moment you developed it.
M829A3 is IMMUNE TO ALL ERA L O L

You act as though it can’t withstand any modern or semi-modern APFSDS at all, which is just wrong.
you lack sources i don’t all you need to do is math from the IPM1 TO THE m12 and note how much the D.U added to the turrets protection. this is simple math. D.U Added 260mm of protection to the M1A2 left side cheek alone and it added 215mm of protection to the right cheek. this is standard 1ST GENERATION D.U ARMOR from 1988
the SEP V1 has 3RD GENERATION D.U, the SEP V2 turret protection was then enhanced FURTHER THAN THE SEP V1s 3RD GEN D.U, and the SEP V3 has a entirely new better armor package than the last 3 tanks. The SEP V3 entire crew compartment was redesigned and improved with blast absorbing protection for the crew
when did i say that?
