This doesnt fill me with much hope they are going to look at the big reports

One of the reports he mentions is this one:

https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/gBEhhxT7M3Ue

so I think its “fixed in a future version” that bug report hasnt even been updated yet

Well, it is a mix of fixed and will be fixed, but

The floor dm location got fixed

With how the thread linked above is going, I expect them to replace ch2’s mantlet with egg boxes instead of armour.

What they are doing to the abrams and the justification they use for the 7AV are, quite frankly, a joke.

If the Challenger 2 still has mobility issues, can anyone submit additional bug reports for it. I dont have time at the moment


On the plus side, the correct skirts(only works on TES), can stop bmp2 apfsds on its own.

wait whats the difference? It looks exactly the same as before on both TES and OES, only difference I see is OES is missing dust cover modeled. Im a bit lost

Also updated the mantlet report internally with some more consise and accurate information.
Should be looking at about 560mm on the top 2/3 of the mantlet, and 570mm on the bottom 2/3.

I wish they would change the description as 40-60mm implies it’s only 40 or 60mm and not 2 plates of 40 and 60mm with an air gap between.

agreed.

Maybe we’ll get that at some point.

Can i just say only 50% would be the weld as both steel plates would have a small 45° chamfer for the weld to sit in/built up in, you wouldn’t weld two plates together with both edges at 90° for 2 reasons, 1. The welds wouldn’t be strong 2, the welds wouldn’t sit flush to the surface with that much build up. .

Here’s a basic example
