I’m assuming it has been reported?

Nope, as Vic 7 is a mess, the interior is wrong, someone messaged a tank museum if they have anything, but nothing yet

You know what I find funny about the whole -/+30 debate why would the armour bricks be tested from heading of the vehicle? You aren’t engaging any ERA if you attack it from 0 😂 like in what world would armour an armour package be treated in that way Jesus Christ.

It seems it would be 12 charges at the back of the hull, or at least 6 on the loader side, not sure what about gunner side
And rack next to the driver of Vic Mk 4

So how is it?

Hey, I can one up that. My friends were 4 man squadding, I had been rocking the Lase on the Jag GR.1A. My mate gets a nuke in the Jag, and I told him do follow behind and I’d be a decoy for him (we knew there as at least 1 SAM).

Needless to say, being on the receiving end of about 4 missiles, I think I did my job quite well.

Absolutely nobody shot at him, they all saw a Jaguar popping up and threw absolutely everything at me instead ))))

I’m still waiting for a response, i will ping them again in a week, i don’t wanna pester them.

Has there been any movement on the report on the 1st stage ammo ready rack? I know one of you (i’ve forgotten who sorry) put in a report that we don’t use the one we have in game and our loaders will use the ammo behind them which is something like 20+ rounds.

28 in total, and no. They said they will revise ammoracks so maybe then

Afternoon guys,
Had another look today for any sources stating the material of the backing plate for ASPRO-HMT on Bulldog, Warrior or Challenger but besides Tankograd who says steel, there are no sources publically who state the material used.

I did however manage to prove via 2 new sources, ASPRO-HMT’s brochure when mentioning RPG, is specifically mentioning RPG-7. In 2008, the RPG’s main anti tank round is PG-7VR which gives credence to it being able to stop tandem rounds. I have updated my report accordingly for the CE.

The tank museum in the UK does have a Mk.3 bulldog, incase anyone would like to contact them and see if the backing plate is steel. Alternatively you can contact Tankograd.

I’ve done a lot of work on this these past two days so i’m taking the weekend off for the most part, to spend time with the missus.
Thanks folks,
Legwolf

Something else Gaijin need to fix is shells vanishing in flight.

Something I only experience with the Chally.

Yet again, i fired, my round was inflight, on its way to making contact with the side of an abrams, he makes a snap shot, shock horror, he takes out my breech & commander…my round that was in flight?

Thanos snapped out of existence.

I had 0% PL, so cant be my internet.

Not a challenger only thing.

Ghost shells have been a problem for years, and each major update they say they are fixed, they never are
