No but we must remember a tank is nothing more than a heavy mechanicial plant. If it can happen to an excavator it can happen to a tank. A damaged mesh framing has the potential to catch and crush the hydraulic and electronic lines running through the basket.
The tank is designed to stop penetrative shots not mitigate the damage to systems if a round does penetrate. Remember the most important thing inside an M1 is the crew.
Now that said is this a good change? No not really tanks would already die from side shots.
We are adding systems that are realistic in a game mode that isn’t realistic.
Isn’t basket is to separate turret crew from the hull to prevent their limbs from getting cut off while turret turning also protect from spall?
Leopard for example have hydraulic system on the back of it turret whole of it not part of the horizontal drive to my understand or i miss something here?
I’ve had all electronics go out on a Leopard 2A6 when some turret basket safety guards caught the fuseboard in the back of the fighting compartment. Damage to the basket can also lead to the electrics going out in the turret, as the electricity is transfered through a contact in the bottom of the basket.
Tell me you aren’t a tanker without telling me you aren’t a tanker. I’ve had half my reservoir pour into my sub turret because part of the turret basket was bent outward and we traversed over the rear to let the driver out. It may not cut the hydraulic line but it sure will pull it out of couplings.
Just some of the quotes I have seen. Yes the basket it to protect the crew but a tanks internal space is limited so you route things in the most efficient way.
Isn’t the “new” aiming drive on the mantlet of the abrams supposed to be the gun shield as well? Which means another armor spot. (This was bug reported as well a few months ago, with a detailed picture I believe.)
Most of the xray is just a picture with no DM involvement
at strv122 you can see a simplified model that actually shows which parts interact with the shards.
My comment got removed lmao. It doesnt have to be their usernames, just a individual number designator or something so that only gaijin knows which one it is so that we can actually catch biased bug moderators
I understand the concern about harassment of moderators but when Bug reports which are correctly sourced get thrown out frequently it does raise big concerns. There was that controversy with a china moderator a while ago and none of us want a repeat of that or for there to be a chance of it falling between the cracks right?
If there are any concerns about a report being mishandled, there is a report feature on the community bug report site where you can report the comment for a second review (if it is a legitimate claim and not just because you disagree with the outcome)
Issues can also be raised via PM to any senior technical moderator or myself on the forum here.
There is simply no excuse or justification for harassment, death threats and doxing whomever answered a report.
the thing is that tanks are marvel of machinery engineering, there would be backups system incase the other one fail, its complicate as hell
But gaijin dont do their homework, they test without study so we suffer
