@DevilO6 I think it was the rear plate that was changed. I went on youtube to see Chally 2 prior to this update and the rear plates is blue not yellow

Datamine says both changed but the one you’ve shown was already 40mm prior to the patch, I guess it’s like some internal change which doesn’t matter because the plate is labelled variable thickness armour
so they managed to nerf the sidescreen but not get round to buffing the turret sides or anything else other than the gear ratios?
played a blinder there gaijin.
especially because the 3D model completly disregards the 40mm thickness and now the era bricks float in the air
because someone thought he was smart with pixelcounting
ah yes pixel counting
instead of doing some actual research (well, we’ll do that bit for them. all they have to do is check the legitimacy of said research) and you know, seeing that STANAG Level 5 means protection against all 25mm rounds at ranges above 500m and that ASPRO HMT meets that…
but i suppose that’d require something Gaijin lacks a bit.
We are simply too dumb to understand gaijins logic. Only they can balance the game as they are completely unbiased in their opinions and only they can make fair and balanced decisions on our part otherwise the game would be one sided.
we now have a “DUST COVER” with the same thickness of the prior side plate

then the visual model with the THICKER PLATE and 40mm plate in the armour viewer…


i honestly lost hope
Maybe google translate read “fix the challenger” as british for “kill the challenger”
That is because the side screen is covered by a dust cover, you can see it here at 65mm of dust cover
or so the snails say. Ignore that 200mm composite block is attached to the composite screen cover, because why not?. Also what is the point of COVERING THE COMPOSITE SCREEN? like, why cover it?
same reasoning as MUH the crew wears PPE so no SIDE SPALL LINER
snails and logic apperantly are 2 seperate entities
what
thats their reasoning: crew wears kevlar so no spall liners in the hull sides
And if you wonder
This pic used to measure
and the pic used by gaijin
Are not TES. They are OES, and 2 out of the 3 versions of OES. If you wonder, yes, there are different composite screens depending on the armor package.
Proof they are different tanks

I could be misremembering but I think there’s no side spall liner cause we don’t have any photos that show one, and we were speculating that it might not have been an issue for the MoD because the crew are issued Kevlar vests instead
I was about to say, neither of those have the ASPRO HMT Pack
HOW ARE THEY VALID SOURCES SNAIL, TELL ME
Yes
a trixxters world
could we try to make another bug report based on the other picture
There is no point. They do not understand the point that there are different versions of the tank and using the one that is not it is wrong, and we decided to leave it be untill beter pics surface.
maybe we can ask @Gunjob to do a internal report, they at least have to hear to a moderators reasoning
