Armor that underperforms

Alright, correct me if I’m wrong, but I struggle to believe that OP isn’t botting. StatShark says that between Feb 12th and May 14th he has played 6,822 matches.

That is an average of 75 matches a day, and if I standardize that to 10 minutes for a match+matchmaking that would come out to about 12.5 hours a day, every day, for 91 days straight.

Which might explain the ignorance of actual mechanics…

Composite is not solid metal. It has ceramic, rubber, air, ect depending on the type.

Those will not protect against kenetic ammo as well as solid metal.

Your armor is 900mm thick but you do not have 900mm of RHA

Forget OP’s comment I’m interested in the botting controversy, “has OP breached the Gaijin terms of service or are they just a shitty albeit persistent tanker with no life?” Find out after these comments

wtf 113,000 matches dude you could’ve gone to college and gotten a job.

And the spot he hit could’ve been modeled incorrectly.

I was capable of comparable feats when i finished university and i was unemployed for some months.
And still be able to go out with friends /girlfriend.
It seems like no lifing…'tis not though.
'Tis more of no sleeping, a capability you start to gradually lose when you go over 35 and especially when you get a morning job.
At one point i could go to my job with 3-4h of sleep with no issue. When i turned 37 it was a rude awakening… the powers got diminished.

Composite armor has materials such as rubber, Aluminum, Kevlar, etc… which are light and good absorbing chemical energy, but not so much kinetic energy.

The more advanced it is, the more effective it is; M1A1’s composite armor is the first NATO mass-produced iteration of composite armor, it’s just basic Chobham, which consists basically of RHA-Rubber-RHA sandwich plates.

M1A1HCs and A2s onwards ingame have Depleted Uranium plates that significantly increases the effectiveness against KE.

800mm of air, rubber and RHA =/= 800mm of RHA =/= 800mm of air, rubber, Depleted Uranium and RHA
