I found this video showing that there is additional armor under the fenders, which should be thick enough to prevent even a 50 caliber from piercing the armor.
Here we can clearly see that there is at least 15mm more armor.
make a suggestion or make a report at Community Bug Reporting System .
It could be useful to have more mm of armor there. So many times my transmission breaks due to some bullet flying around, or a crew member been killed from .50 cal
I thought about it too, but I don’t think they will accept YouTube videos.
Anyway, “OTO Melara” manufacturer of the Centauro B1, clearly states that with the armor kits would make Centauro B1 immune to Machine Gun Bullets.
Also, this one in the video is a “Centauro B1 Series III,” I don’t know if the Spanish vehicle (VRCC) and OMAN they added is a “Centauro B1 Series III.” That’s why I made this post before writing a bug report I wanted to ask the Italian community for information
