“We’ll soon be releasing a dev blog on the hull armor for the M1 Abrams series of tanks, where we’ll explain why we believe that hull armor was not reinforced on production vehicles.”
Your “belief” has been proven incorrect in detail by a multitude of sources numerous times on the bug report forums. What a joke.
Oh so you’re concerned about the efficiency of the Abrams ? Its gonna get a better shell and better reload, you’re fucking serious ??
What level of incompetence does it take to think that the Leclerc and the Abrams should be on the same BR ?? The Leclerc now does EVERYTHING worse compared to all other mbts and you’re still telling me that you’ve got actual human developpers instead of monkeys in suits ?
Welp seeing how the leclerc’s, Abrams, leopards improvements all got denied i have zero hopes for the challenger 2s mantlet lol
Posting an edit:
In a previous blogpost, you said spall liners are made of aramid and other fabrics. But it’s not always that. They can also be indistinguishable from plain steel, and incorporated into the armor itself which is painted over. The Merkava’s interior appears solid and is painted white.
Throughout the Merkava’s history, it has demonstrated very low casualty rates.
Although briefly, it mentions spall liner:

Assessment of the Second Lebanon War By Col. David Eshel
Est. reading time: 7 minutes
Merkava 2 tanks taking multiple ATGMs and ATRs. One hit 7 times, another hit 3 times. Munitions descriped as Sagger, TOW, and RPG-29. In total, 2 light injuries. (Page 31)

Merkava 1 reducing penetrations from 61% down to 40% compared to the Magach and Centurions, but mean casualties per damaged tank is down from 2.31 to 1.1.

While I could not find anything immediately on the Merkava, I could find something on the Namer which is built with the same armor in a different geometry.
You can see here on its roof what appears to be not the structural steel but an added layer.
Well, your “opinion” is - “we re-create in game tank from year 2018 based on year 2005 tender”. What you expect? Flowers?
If I say that they said this, even, to paraphrase, one of the project managers said this, then what? Will you change your mind like your shoes?
To be honest, i find quite fantastic the justification for adding 5 seconds reload ( Comparing a 105mm shell with a 120mm shell is not one of the best ideas, but oh well ) when its not really needed, we all know i think that an M1A2 IRL can load in 5 seconds without issues.
But then denying a bug report with 10 ( ten ) secondary sourced, based on 1 ( one ) secondary source about the reload rate of the Leclercs, this yes is quite depressing.
Leclerc ( All Variants ) wrong rate of fire // Gaijin.net // Issues
3-5 bug reports on the abrams hull armor alone and they said “Why we believe that hull armor was not reinforced on production vehicles.” Like, where does that extra 15 tons of weight come from? electronics that weight almost a ton each in the Abrams upgrade?
Seriously man.
We players gave you as accurate information as possible about the Leopard 2A7V, but you used documents from the last century to prove the armor of the 2017 Leopard 2A7V.
Why not make all 11.7 Russian tanks only capable of firing 3BM42, isn’t it a testament to history?
I will leave my personal comment on STEAM again and then uninstall the game.
How about China?
Where is China?
None of you developers even remember there’s a China ground TT? Or we don’t give you informations of Chinese tanks liners in issues? We do that FAR more than once!
Sorry, only Russia gets love
(also chinese air is anemic, where is the J-10 or the neat trainer/attackers?)
Russian bias, already get used to it
T-90M, yes!
ZTZ-99A, NO!
In a later version, I hope?? 30MM KE and 400MM CE are literally made up numbers and i’ve provided enough sources to prove that much.
Damnit gaijin.
“Answering your concerns”
Proceeds to make everyone more concerned
I’d say mad
I am kinda glad they are doing this… I almost considered doing some extra work commissions to spend 20 bucks this Christmas on the 180 Premium days again, but, honestly, any desire and possibility that I would do that vanished after this, so there goes an unnecessary expense I am saving for now.
And I had made a “tribute/appreciation” positive post a couple of days ago… lmfao
Defend 30mm autocannons=30mm KE
That’s just very GAIJIN, LOL
Talking to a brick wall mate, STANAG is alien to the devs for some reason
It’s not even 30mm autocannon tho.
It’s 25MM APFSDS protection, as per STANAG 5 protection :c
The 30 number is straight up fake and made up. There’s no evidence or claims ASPRO-HMT stops 30mm
