@DevilO6 has basically analized everything about the sideskirts and came to the conclusion that there are multiple thicknesses of side plates and you need the thicker one for mounting the ERA

@DevilO6 have you got any good clean photos of a TES baseplate? No care for what thickness, just with the ERA attached or the brackets
Lemme look around.

you absolute legend, regardless of what you dig up haha
I stole them from you lmao
Here is how that type of plate looks with VARNA
You can quite clearly see the thickness difference between the plate covering the side of the engine deck and the one where the ERA is mounted
Also the same bit from up close now with ERA

When you say it like that you make me want to give you all the pictures of other Cr2 verions backplates (mistake)
you’re gonna scare the devs away when he adds this
@Smin1080p Besides my complaints that Gaijin publically misconstrued my research to further a different viewpoint the evidence didn’t support, here’s all the issues with that particular blog post mentioning the “ERA”
“ERA” name and armor type is wrong - Community Bug Reporting System
ASPRO-HMT Kinetic Energy protection values are wrong - Community Bug Reporting System
ASPRO-HMT Chemical Energy protection values are wrong - Community Bug Reporting System
ASPRO-HMT Baseplate is made of steel - Community Bug Reporting System
ASPRO-HMT Baseplate is half its width - Community Bug Reporting System
I’d appreciate it if next time Gaijin would like to use my work, they consulted me before signing my name on their opinion pieces…or at the very least, made sure they understood it.

So it is either the whole plate is 40mm, or only the front is due to mudguard, and the rest is thiccer
OR
As the cut part ends around 1st road wheel
So either a solid 40mm plate, or in 2 parts, 40 at the front and thiccer in the crew compartment area
You can see the lines spliting the plate into parts
yea bullshit to deal with
And with that, I think it’s time to finish work today. Hope to see a correction to their blog post or at least a follow up blog reconsidering their takes on this. To say their evidence is flawed in their blog post is putting it lightly. They used the protection analysis tool on the applique armor, and said that it meets STANAG 5, without explaining that the block alone is STANAG 5, not the entire plate and hull behind it which the protection tool shows…
It very obviously isn’t STANAG 5 in game and that was a very weak point and embarrassing thing to see.
Signing my name off as me saying it’s Armor Shield R as well, is just insulting.
ASPRO-HMT isn’t Armor Shield R, It’s not an ERA, It’s not STANAG 5 in game, and its protection values are wrong. Pretty much every point they made has overwhelming evidence to the contrary but they happily pointed the finger at me who made these claims so they can refute them and look correct.
@Stona_WT @Smin1080p Is there someone I would contact to discuss this matter with? I’m not phased you guys used my name in your blog post. Honored actually, but it was used to spread misinformation and twist my research.

Theres several different plates for the ERA as far as I can tell - That said, none of them posess the ability to warp reality and defy having a half of its body solid and the other half, magically noclip lol
