rafael sheet states it protects both chemical and kinetic projectiles. the images in the sheet show a truck sporting the ASPRO with no backing plate.

yea this would be my best guess as well.
And with that i think that only Active and Passive parts count into Stanag level of ASPRO, right? The plate should not take part in the stanagm or should it?
It was called Megatron for a reason.

i think they wanted to name it megaton but someone made a “mistake”

I wonder when the main issue of it being modelled as one big block will be rectified
When it gets worked on.
HUH
I know that in datamine they got the blindspot reduced but now it make sense, i was not expecting that

First there was no armour, best armour, now no source, best source
Yea, hope it continues
They also changer ENFORCER ammo count to 200 and reduced total from 1700 to 1600. The loss of a total ammo is not that bad, what im sad is they get normal 200 mags instead of extended 400, just like OES got extended 200 instead of normal 100

There’s no way this can be the case for ASPRO-HMT. It’s used across so many different vehicles, varying from MRAP to MBT and everything in between. The data sheet on ASPRO-HMT exclusively mentions the bricks performance, no mention of backing plates or vehicles.
I would trust it saying the ERA can do XYZ at face value rather than assuming that there was some special conditions involved to reach that STANAG requirement.
They should give the OES extended 400, maybe people will buy it that way.
OES has extended mag.
Rafaels Spec sheet for ASPRO-HMT explicitly mentions it can defeat RPGs. Given this is a 2008 era armor addon, the RPG-7s main Anti-Tank round since 1988 was the PG-7VR, a tandem warhead round.
Its unlikely they’re advertising a 2008 era ERA as only stopping a 1950s era RPG round as the PG-7VL

Ok i misunderstood what you meant :)
They should definitely give at least the OES the option to change the weapon though, premiums should be special, adding a 20~mm plate to the turret is not special.
All challengers with the rws should get a choice between 7.62 and .50, maybe OES gets exclusive 40mm grenades
I think the justification lies in its multi-tiered defence as Fireball explained. First is the explosive/ERA to destroy the breaching charge then a passive behind it to catch the warhead proper.
