plus the pin that fills the holes into the turret, so the ones on the left and right of the image
yes, but with pins where the graps are.
do you know if the length of the module could reach 300mm? like the solid parts at the top and bottom
i estimate it’s around 400mm, but i dont yet have definitive “proof” of that
but if it is at least 300mm plus the 200mm on the back it would indicate 500mm at least discouting the pin placement.
but even on the pin placement it wouldnt lose much and even gain spaced armour that could break a longrod

do you have photo about the 50mm plate?
we also dont know if theres anything in the gap between the 30mm plate and the 10mm plate right?
TOGS cables
that plate looks weird with that many screws into it
They are always there, just covered in paint

if they model the thing right i can see the mantlet will stop being a big issue.
less than a month for dev blogs and such.
So the challenger’s mantlet has a maximum KE of 611
This picture is what I think is the lowest value
yes but on the green zone its gona have a round pin. that can send apfsds bouncing if its not dead on center.
also the green zones could be filled with air and it still would be 100 times better than what we have right now
yes but the challengers were modeled by an intern working on weekends

not 100% sure where your values come from. the top 1/2 will have:
116mm(1.0) + 30mm(1.0) + 400mm(0.98) + 50mm(1.0)
bottom 1/3 will have:
116mm(1.0) + 10mm(1.0) + 30mm(1.0) + 400mm(0.98) + 50mm(1.0)
however the front triangle is as we know angled, this reduces its protection vs APFSDS to 103mm.
so:
103mm(1.0) + 30mm(1.0) + 400mm(0.98) + 50mm(1.0) = 575 KE
103mm(1.0) + 10mm(1.0) + 30mm(1.0) + 400mm(0.98) + 50mm(1.0) = 585 KE
this doesnt account for the rotor pin situation

did gaijin give payment to intern?
