Gentlemen.

After many hours of blood, sweat, tears, much swearing ,and crippling skill issues on my part, I am pleased to announce I have spaded the TES.

I actually quite like it now, gives me time to roll a cigarette as I lumber towards the battlefield.

seeing this image, it seems like there is not much protection over the mantlet, or is there a plate supposed behind that?

youre talking about the mantlet and not the rotor right? Yes the mantlet is thinner than contemporary tanks

yeah the mantlet that has 200mm in game and basically is the largest weakspot in game

the whole gun area should look like this. Im not sure if fireball made this drawing or they found it


Mantlet should also be thicker of course, its not 3cm thick, should at least be double

You can see the internal side here, though there are probably better pictures

What killed this one? Got tracked and the Ukrainians burnt it out? or Did the Ruskies actually manage to destroy it?

That grey fabric around the mantlet isn’t a spall liner is it?

AT weapons are perfectly capable of knocking out even the most modern of tanks. Its how you use it that matters most and even then, tanks are big targets.

the current theory is a directional at mine, crew escaped intact tho

probably just a cloth to keep debris out

It’s the one from a few months back, I heard it was tracked and the crew evacuated with it being finished off by drones/artillery later

Was disabled by mines then hit by a couple of atgm I think.

Saved her crew though, which is the most important thing.

If it had a Dorchester package on it, it would of buffed out with a bit of elbow grease :')
