Blow-out panel change

It’s not a change. That how they worked since introduction. The fact that most people didn’t notice this clearly shows how insignificant it is.

The second image is also a leo2… just look at the sideskirts

What you are describing was always the intended way for them to function in game, ever since they were introduced.

I don’t think so? I seem to die a lot often when I carry HEAT rounds than before

Blow-out panel explained by an ex german tanker. Nothing more to say.

This cannot possibly be a Blowout Panel Failure. Leopard Blow-Out Panels (like all bustle racks) cannot turret toss. The pressure is not located below the turret during detonation. The Turret in this photo is also intact.

Looks more like something exploded under the turret rathher than behind.

Im putting an example between the differences of a deflagration and a detonation, on a detonation the hull was completely destroyed and it is far more armored than the bulkhead

It’s called blow out panels for a reason no?

It does not matter which occurs in a Bustle—neither results in failure under optimal conditions (as literally all vehicles in WarThunder are modeled).

As a result, nerfing NATO weapons based on completely illogical thinking with no backing is really stupid.

It does, as there is a physically limit about how much tnt can an a 30 mm plate withstand on a open air detonation

Abrams tests involving full bustle racks showed otherwise during initial M1 Testing. The Bustle never failed once. Combat testing also proved the bustle rack to be safe under proper conditions.

M1A1SA models in Ukraine hit by drones, which combust ammunition visually in video footage, also do not harm the crew.

Prove your claim.

Deflagration!=detonation, completely different things.

M1 Abrams blowout panels save tank crew

Violent Explosions, Fires, and all kinds of hazards involved in the bustle rack being struck are not lethal under optimal conditions.

Thats not a detonation… there is not a pressure wave…

Yeah, I’m likely wrong there. I did say iirc for a reason, I don’t know everything about tanks and I won’t act like I do.

Either way, the image he used was about a bug involving crews surviving it when the panel/bulkhead was broken.

That is significantly more violent than ANY Ammorack explosion in War Thunder.

Tbh, that does look like a fire and not an explosion with a shockwave

It is not… learn the difference between detonation and deflagration.

The cookoffs in War Thunder that damage you are not exactly “Explosions”. If you have HEAT-FS in bulk, any mild hit to your rack will harm you now. NATO standard HEAT-FS does not operate in this manner in real life.

What Gaijin has done is take Russian cookoffs and apply them to NATO vehicles as if that’s true when it isn’t.
