You fell for us out from the sky
I’d like to just raise this as a bit of a “hmm???” moment. This suggests OES has a completely brand new one piece “nose cone armor”? is this suggesting OES has improved mantlet protection?
I will be honest, I have no idea what that means. Something that is not Cr1 style compared to previous ones
Is this suggesting the NERA panels on the sides of the turret are also ASPRO-HMT NERA/ERA sandwich?
this
The brick?
dorchester armour on lower front plate i think

Ahh I see, so it’s talking about the ROMOR to Dorchester upgrade?
Weird to call that part the nose
“CR1 Style” I assume is talking about the ERA it replaces since it originated from the Chally 1

It seems like, but i would take the nera/composite part. Doubt any ERA is in the plate, composite only.
What it seems to suggest is the brick is made up of the same explosive tile / passive tile repeating combo as the large ASPRO-HMT blocks, so i’m going with that :P

I swear with the amount of work i’ve put into Gaijin’s Challenger 2, I should just file a FOIA request to the MOD for the applique armor on CR2
That or Gaijin should begin paying me for doing their work lol

I will be honest, i did not expected to find that when i was sitting to the backplate research after the dinner

I think its important to mention that “Reactive armor” doesn’t necessarily mean ERA, NERA is a form of reactive armor, just not explosive. I dont think that side armor has ERA since it looks like the same composite block just made smaller for the turret
