There is no L27, only L27A1
The pre production?
Thats just a L27A1 prototype, not a different round.
Is there a possibility of joining the WT？
I guess you mean adding it to war thunder. I see no reason to, and no base to add it.
Is L27 prototype better than L27A1? In wt the weight of L27A1 and L26 is same? Both are 4.3?
no
Yeah I was the one mixed up. The weighted average can only be used when it’s proportion by volume, not weight. Apologies @Baron_Tiberius

why did L26 and L27A1 in wt have the same weight?
because many of L27s values are copy and pasted from L26
no official data, just like about the speed and lenght. So some guesswork and c&p came into play
It seems that 2F late has become our only hope
“Make Challenger great again！”
Can anyone explain why the Challenger 2F’s 150mm (one hundred and fifty) of composite armor add-on is only ~15mm effective?
The base side armor is a slightly angled 38mm. The in-game X-Ray claims “30mm against KE” (a stupidly low figure, equivalent to the basic ERA on an AVRE) - yet it’s actually only 55mm with the composite armor. So that’s a generous ~15mm of effectiveness.
For 150mm of composite armor. While 100mm of “composite screen” on the Swedish Leopard UFP is easily over 200mm KE effectiveness. I would just like to know if this is accurate.

Gaijin’s Magic. Hopefully it changes with the rework thats currently ongoing but we will have to wait and see.
It is wrong, my report is up
As of why, well
it is a long story
The 2F I have no idea. I’m not sure what pack that is on the side but I’d damn well hope itbhas more KE than 15mm…
Then again we all know how the TES/OES ASPRO-HMT debacle has panned out.
It’s funny how composite screens have a 0.16 KE factor when they’re mostly RHA. 0.16. That’s only 3 times better than wood. And external composite armor with NERA, too. 0.10. Only 2 times better than wood.
It just makes a man think… Considering it’s generally Western vehicles preferring to use these over single-use armor. And considering their weight (they wouldn’t make sense if they provided less KE protection than the equivalent weight in RHA) - since something like the PSO package weighs 5 tons…
It’s just interesting to think about these composites that Western tanks put on their sides - the main advantage Russian vehicles have, as their sides are considerably thick and increase their survivability to being outplayed (getting flanked).
I mean, I don’t really like playing Russian vehicles in-game. I don’t think they’re super great. But I do hate how Western vehicles have had their side armor packages turned into worthless plastic baggage.

Well, the composite is mostly some kind of a armour, then nera so some kind of a polymer, glass, rubber or whatever else, and then armour again. Gaijin sadly takes valuses for the NERA part, ignoring the rest
A definition
Because of their approach they either are uneducated or not doing proper implementation because of specific reasons that they can’t state openly
