are you looking at it with the dardo apfsds?

no just the stock standard L23


this is the dardo apfsds now

yea block alone should have 120mm as per legwolf bug report

So can I get a sit rep on all the changes that seem to be coming (I know most of this is all “WIP” but I’m concerned with the TES changes). The mantlet I’m somewhat happy as long as it gets less wonky and still better that what we have. The TES changes just seem to me that they’ve ignored basically fucking everything.

REJOICE!

1,It can be seen that the mantlet includes a 50mm plate

2. compare the thickness with the original mantlet of CR2. The new mantlet is much thicker, so it is more than 200mm

check the hull

Basically, now it’s: 30 + 30 (shield/cover) + 30 (internal shield)+ ~280-400 (volumetric trunnion/rotor), instead of 30 (shield/cover) + 200 (whatever that was).

the hull only have 488 now

The hull is clearly Work In Progress; many plates are missing even from the armor viewer!

i think i know what they did with the breech. the round parts on the sides must be 500mm ± on the the thickest part. the middle plate where the barrel passes must be 200mm. im not sure if the top and bottom of the mantlet shouldnt be thicker.

so instead of being round it should be like a box
