British Weapon Systems - Technical data and discussion

This is probably because half the armour is still aluminium.

It got some dev updates apparently but idk if it changed much

Yes, the ufp fell off again. They need to screw it up properly.

The engine cover is gone again, added 44mm of 7039 on the rear (can only be seen through the gaping hole in the engine block), 25mm of steel on the back-door, you can now see that the base armour of the driver’s side of the front is 38mm of 7039 with 12mm RHA applique, same for the hull roof. Turret applique is now counted as external armour showing that most of the turret is a base layer of 10mm of 7039 with 20mm of 7039 ontop. Think the turret might be missing some applique coverage on the roof too?

Also its still missing alot of ammo from what I’ve read up it has 140 rounds in the ready rack and 400 rounds inside the hull ?? Does anyone have any more information that backs this up ??

btw to you and everyone else, since the ufp is missing you can check both sides of the rear plate and notice it’s double layered(!!) giving it quite incredible strength actually

Maybe if you stuffed the whole hull stowage with ammunition boxes.
Otherwise, it’s the Armoured Fighting Vehicles Schools Regiment down at Bovington, giving the numbers bottom-right

Starting to suspect most of the vehicle should be thin RHA with HHRA applique, the aluminium values seem way too thick for the actual visible thickness in most of the photos.

Ahead of the patch, I decided to check out some of the reports from the ever-respected Mr. Flame2512. Here’s what I got.

Still 30mm

This is assuming I don’t mention “the underslung cannon doesn’t fit into the Hawk 200 RDA’s chassis niche.” “Oh, but here’s the same Hawk 209, and it fits.” Oops, I mentioned it.

StatShark say “no change”. It still flies like a brick. Which is funny, because I heard this plane was called maneuverable compared to the A-4. Good luck trying to be maneuverable compared to the A-4 in WT. It will humiliate you at any speed.

Nope.

No, technically it is possible to display an image on an MFD, but only with a TGP, so it doesn’t count.

I might have misunderstood something and don’t see the documents this player posted, but what I see in the report description is simply a comparison of the physical sizes of flare A and flare B, from which he concluded that flare A is overbuffed. Remember that word. Assumption.

Why “remember”? Here’s why.

greatness.
I think I saw a thread about something similar. But I don’t remember who wrote it or where it disappeared to. I suspect it was deleted.

Yep, they’ll nerf things without evidence instantly and then expect a 50 primary sources and 2-3 years to undo said nerf.

So far I’m pleasantly surprised with Ajax armour, the sight change is very welcome, 6x would have been awful.
Just need the spall liners and it’s should be a nice edition. Finally some nice food.

welp it was fun while it lasted a day…

  • Ajax:
    • armour completely reworked, again
    • sight zoom: 2x / 10x → fixed 6x
    • commander view zoom: 3.01x / 10x → fixed 6x
    • previously the non-first stage ammo had the blow-out ammo, now the the first stage has

Havent even downloaded the update yet lmao

gonna check the new armour again lol

wouldnt even be that bad if the zoom wasn’t 6 and more like 3x

i feel that IRL it would not be a fixed 6X like why

cos of seperate sights have seperate zooms
