Now to proving that both NERA and ERA are present on TES
RED Dot - So I do not have any measurements for the composite armour back plate there are any back plates that might be behind it.
Blue Dot - I only have measurements regarding this area.
The only other measurements I have are for the armoured ammunition bins, track pads and the lower main hull thickness !!

@Legwolf like what you read there. If it is true you can remake your whole report to include both NERA and ERA
I feel like im about to get eaten
isnt the sales brochure of the ERA already talking about a combination of ERA and NERA?
A brochure, you have one? !!!
Really nice find! Do you have the source of it? If so, that further supports TES having STANAG 5 protection:
25MM APFSDS at 500M from 0 degrees to 30 degrees
Last I looked, Dardo’s autocannon was the best analogue, which gave it at minimum 84MM of kinetic protection on the ASPRO-HMT bricks alone.
chinese reddit is the most reliable source there is
The pic is a shot from somewhere, it will be hard to trace back but who knows
That guy looks fed up, must have been a hot day lol
I think the 40mm looks about correct. Currently in live server, the plate is 110.
40 + 40 leaves a 30mm air gap in between the 2 plates

You change a tank tires in over 30 celcius. Would you be happy?
Interestingly enough - While ASPRO-HMT advertises STANAG 5 protection, The technical specifications does support “0.3 AP” which…I’d assume is 30mm Armor Penetrating grenades?
Also this part of “Reactive/passive armor protection” now has some clear supporting evidence as to what this means. Great work, man

I believe this would be a new report entirely, as it’s suggesting not only is the ERA wrong, it’s actually not ERA at all lol
It’s some weird hybrid NERA ERA sandwich, under the ASPRO-HMT (MTAP) name.
@Gunjob I take it new report for this finding?
I guess i just made your life worse, Sorry man :/

The more reports to stack on Gaijins dusty issues shelves for Challenger 2 the better. Maybe when it collapses under the weight they’ll send someone to go find out what made the noise and actually see the reports lol
