So it’s meant to be a rotating floor. Apparently the floor isn’t in the damage model or something according to a forum mod

IF it gets a damage model, that makes it disable the horizontal drive, then all the T series tanks need to receive their “rotating floor” that does the same, because they also have them in the middle of their ammo carousels the exact same as challenger. Cant make it do it for one and not the other.
This is only a model however, AFAIK its accurate.
The T-80U ammo carousel, holds all the ammo. We have this in game, and destroying this would not disable horizontal drive.
In the centre of it, is a turret basket. As you can see, this is designed to rotate separate to the carousel, meaning its like the abrams basket, except with ammo all around it. Damaging this would disable the horizontal drive.
Another angle of it above.
Almost any shot into the ammo of a T series tank should disable its horizontal drive, much like what happens on the abrams, leopard, etc. due to the position of the basket to the ammo carousel.
If chally is getting a rotating floor, the T80’s should be getting their whole basket.

of course the documents are gonna lack specifics more than half the information on it is classified and the currently known performance is that L27A1 is underperforming in terms of raw penetration and K5 is still overperforming in terms of kinetic protection but the devs dont seem to want to take notice of that

I think you could park a T-80U and a Challenger 2 on the front lawn of their HQ, fire an L27A1 at said T-80U and they would still claim a lack of information

I don’t see the harm in having an image like that
I think they dont want us showing that because of the real possibility of corpses or sensitive military stuff being shown
Oh yh same images. Fair enough.
Yh Challenger 2 Vs 2x T-80 in August 2024. Challenger destroyed both T-80s with armour stopping the incoming rounds, no injuries to crew and C2 was returned for repairs.
The commander hatch was from a helicopter as they were crossing into Kursk. They said the Heli flew over them low, spotted them, did not fire and kept flying before returning sometime late and opening fire with rockets bouncing off the hatch causing no further damage or injuries. The crew actually spoke about this in an interview about how good the C2 is,
The Ukrainians literally said they were the best for infantry support. They would sit 1-2 miles away and fire HESH at trenches, bunkers, fortifications, tree lines and just obliterate them completely.
Also, the losses of Challenger 2s were due to the tanks being overfilled with HESH mainly, this was because when they went into Kursk, they thought there would/may be supply line issues and not be apply to re-supply with ammo so they took extra which was an overfill causing them to explode easily.

I’m not sure when it happened, but driver controls and additional power systems has disappeared from SM CR2.
Best narrative is to render GB as an anecdotal Nation to play.

A lot of times these modules are added on the dev server and then dissapear before live.
It happened on the Challenger 1s too a few patches ago, same on the T80s.
Although Smin did say it was final, but who knows

Oh I could probably hazard a guess:
‘We tested firing L27A1 in War Thunder and we think what we just saw/felt/heard is a Marketing Lie.’
A few seconds later - they discover that the workplace cafeteria has a new skylight as the T-80U’s turret comes back to Earth…

Yes, I remember.
The developers’ responses were always just stopgap measures, which was frustrating for us players.
at 10.7??? cause I’ve been working on the bomber line; I also did forget the Buccaneer Sb2 with the ATGms.
i must admit I am biased to teh jag.
Glad to see folks enjoy it, I’, a huge fan of the GR3 at 9.7
