I Looked up the ARL-44 on google and in every single image I have found of the ARL-44 the turret cheeks are noticeably smaller in real life. I’m wondering if it’s just me or if the turret is actually modelled inaccurately in war thunder.
War thunder ARL-44:
Real life ARL-44’:
Not that would change much, the turret is already very thin for a heavy tank, and I would assume that, it’s a trials turret, ARL-44 had a few turret modification and I think this is the later production variant:
I do however think that it would make the survivability a fair bit better as it’s in a similar situation as the tiger II (p) where it has 130mm on the turret cheeks but the turret cheeks don’t stand out as much as the current ARL-44. The smaller turret cheeks just make it more difficult to hit when you have a bigger round as your more likely to hit the manlet
That is a bad-faith set of images.
The angle is clearly different between the images.
that doesn’t matter when it comes to measuring on an image, Because I measured the same reference part. Which was the right side of the manlet.
Angle matters for everything. More angle adds width, which you should’ve learned in geometry.
And as proven in my image here:
Your other in-game image is a clear fabrication.
The entire gun to mantlet edge cannot fit between the slit block and the mantlet in-game.
ok something that is even closer to that image.
Also you can clearly see what I’m measuring
And just to be clear that this is a thing with All other ARL-44 pictures
Once again, the in-game model was proven to be correct:
This is what you get with pixel hunting:
Where have I seen that red highlight before?
Apologies if anyone is color blind.
Did you put a green line there to show the “edge” of the manlet when that’s not the edge of the manlet.
That is the actual edge of the manlet and the edge put side to side and it doesn’t even reach the gunner site. Now in real life (which I have proved with multiple images) it would fit in perfectly with the gunner site. You are blatantly ignoring all other images which have the exact same measurements and results. Now either the manlet is supposed to be bigger or the turret cheeks are smaller.
@Kuilios
You covered the edge.
I did not, because I used Clip Studio paint to cut the image to where there are no seams.
I then moved the image to where it needs to be.
The mantlet could be slightly smaller than it should be, but there’s no conclusive evidence to prove that.
The only evidence is the turret itself is correct, especially when you look at turret over-hanging the hull.
