Hello there, since this is my first time making a suggestion, I might be bad at words because English is my second language and other sorts of stuff, so please understand.

So, since War Thunder already implemented APS, it would be helpful to show its coverage in Protection Analysis, so players can better understand which angles are protected. I try to draw the example of how it would look like by using the T-55AMD-1 as an example (What I visualize is not accurate 1:1 with APS Coverage area)

The APS coverage area will show when initaiting a shell simulation, and if the projectile is intercepted, it will also visualize it

Also, when hovering your cursor over the coverage area while selecting a projectile slower than its reaction time like an ATGM, your cursor will be shown gray, for example

Obviously APFSDS or HEAT would not be susceptible to it, and not only hard kill, but soft kill APS could also be visualized too, like the Shtora from the T-90A, for example

But instead of the cursor showing gray, it will show red, meaning theres a very very low chance of hitting, since soft kill only jams how the ATGM move. To view its coverage area without having to simulate the shell, just make it so that it only shows the coverage area when the cursor highlights the APS device. Id guess implementation would be easy.

Guess thats all, if you want, please suggest how to improve this feature

This is a rather nice idea. But I feel like it should be a button you can press rather than be on by default to avoid cluttering the x-ray/armour viewer

+1 but this needs to be similar to the consider vertical angle thing that togglable
