I’m trying my very best here. This is about as far as i’ll go as I think both Gaijin and I can agree on the points i’ve just made. It’s backed by sources, reason and uses quite tame figures to correct the blocks from being complete guesswork values of 30/400 to the adequate 84 KE.
I’ll be submitting some more evidence to support Dorchester 2H’s capability to defeat tandem warheads soon as well.
I strongly believe ASPRO-HMT should, at 0 degrees, provide something in the realm of 104mm KE / 1200mm CE
Yeah - in the document they’ve used for their definitions they’ve definitely used the definition for testing a vehicle, and not a component:
The ERA in question is a distinct component that would be tested on its own (that includes no aluminium backplate). Then there is the issue that RAFAEL advertise the product on the front of some vehicles, where the angle of impact is going to be much closer to 90 than 30.
Unfortunately, even if you had a joint statement from the CEO of RAFAEL and Chief of Staff at the MoD, stating that the ERA was tested at 90 degrees, GJN would still say the evidence isn’t conclusive.
Either way I can’t think of a reason why they couldn’t accept this. It’s a fact that the 30mm is far too low for the ke resistance of the blocks. We don’t know by how much but we do know it’s by quite a bit, the only argument they have left is to say they don’t like guesstimating and will only accept a source stating the value. Which is what I’m expecting. Great job either way.
This is a legendary amount of work. Good job. Now let’s hope Gaijin sees reason and implements it.
Someone should make a special skin, TES edition named “Legwolf”…
For some reason, I’m not lucky with mascots, I once passed the battle pass to 80 ur, completed 40 missions and I got a talisman on a swingfire. So, i had to do research Britain on it.
The Swingfire is freaking awesome. My favourite thing in the game (apart from shooting down planes with spaa) is using the 3rd person view to pull off shots with it people just don’t expect.
May be the only way for us to get usable ERA. Having the Ukrainians slap a shit ton of Russian era on it so gaijin can’t just fluff the specs and say it’s good.
