Respect,just that if we don’t strike while the iron is hot…

It’s on purpose. If they admit the forumla is flawed, the game code needs a complete rewrite.

Reddit, title as follows “Abrams and Challenger players, this is why things suck: Devs can’t read” and post the bug report and devblog side by side.

Especially when they name people out in that weird devblog.Imagine naming people and misinterpreting the thing they say.

Does the game engine use that formula in game every time someone is shot to go “hmmm, this should pen” or no?

because if it is, then ehhhhh

if not, then they dont have an excuse.

oh yeah weird that, they explicitly named people who made the bug reports.

but why.

Also idk if you guys remember, but the TES was already pulled once on us.
It had 1200ce protection, but someone tried to change something with ke, so they decided to put default era values at it.
Now Legwolf tired to change it again, so they pulled keeping the ERA on the default, and switching backplate to aluminium, not even aluminum alloy, just aluminium!

It’s nice to see recognition for us who put in stupid amounts of time getting the extremely hard to find sources and evidence, but feels like such a tremendous letdown when they straight up misquote our efforts.

I’m glad they liked my ammunition post though lol

I’m sure they loved it

Unfortunately, they couldn’t understand it because they couldn’t read it, as is evident by literally misquoting the damn armour type.

It hurts, knowing that this could’ve been avoided if someone didn’t submit a bug report, using the wrong ERA as evidence…

If nothing else, if they follow my ammunition report, CR2 becomes far more survivable.
I suspect it’ll eventually be actually usable after the updates, and I’m actually pretty hopeful. The only letdown is the ERA bit. Otherwise we should be cautiously happy.

Where did ever Shield R came from?

Oh my man, dont you know about whom we are talking? WE BOTH KNOW they can f*** it up.

Laziness. People heavily circulate that the manufacturer is Rafael. So…when you go looking for ERA by Rafael, Armor Shield R is your first find that looks right.

Its a complete lack of research and laziness that spawned this myth.

i’ll be happy when they finally after 2 more like 3 months figure out why the APFSDS on Chally 1 has a habit of detonating and put a stop to it

and you know… actually read the bug reports about protection and L27A1 performance instead of asking “more documents lolololol”

ill tell you this, if the tank gets remodeled correctly thats half the battle. im still amazed we have holes in the turret next to the mantlet. theyve been there since the first cr2

Let me put it this way: Gaijin said the name “Challenger 2” in a news post that isnt about a new version coming to the game.

We should be pinching ourselves right now lol

Reported, but thats what happens when you model holes for pins

Without adding pins

(Yes, im in a possesion of L30A1 picture (That nearly went south))

With the risk of repeating myself,I do think the best option is not complainging or even observing here on the forum,A new ticket done by the very person called in the devblog posted here and in the other thread and even on reddit would have way bigger impact . <3 o7 ! Have a good night folks !
