Challenger 2 armor vs T-90M

They butchered my beloved Chally’s and soviet top tanks are invincible.

Proper kick to the bollocks when you reach top tier.

its crazy how 1mm of air is stronger than 4 mm of the composite in the challenger, or thats what gaijin thinks

You can still beat inexperience players in you Chally’s.

It’s because we know exactly what Soviet tank armor is because after the Cold War, they published a lot of exacts like the armor composition, thickness, and effective armor and protection. This is why if you hover over a T-90 UFP, it shows steel and textolite and has their exact protection modifiers. Since the composition of NATO armor is still classified and we only know the thickness of the armor, gaijin just calls it NERA and it has a flat modifier of 0.1 for KE protection. This is why stuff like the Leclerc gunner block is almost a meter of composite and spaced armor, but only provides 400mm of KE protection. Here is a link that has the modifiers

What about the leopards though?

Tinfoil hats going strong in here again.

Alright buddy

I don’t understand what you mean by that. This did remind me of the Swedish tank trials where they did publish protection values for the tanks. The issue is that the US removed the DU from the M1A2 that they sent, so the M1A2 in game doesn’t have the DU protection values. This should mean that the Leopard 2A5 and 2A6 should have the correct protection values, but I’m not sure

Of course. They’ve got massive ressentiment, typical of everyone who’s obsessed with Russian tech.
