That and finding any information I would assume, would be yet again, classified. Meaning that there’s no accessible info on it, which means that Gaijin just get to make up rules under the words of “well prove us wrong then.” knowing we cant, same as many many other things. We have given them the best possible information on things in the past, possibly the literal only accessible information on things that arn’t classified, and it is denied due to lack of information, despite that info showing its vastly different or because the source/sources arn’t trusted.
TL;DR if the colour of the sky was classified info, Gaijin would make it red and then challenge us to prove its blue, knowing that we cant stating that whatever sources that arnt classified aren’t trustworthy. (at least thats how i see it, after years of trying to get this chally 2 **** fixed.)
The engine can be uprated to 1500 stock, the HAAIP doesnt give it more hp but just allows it to use said hp without melting into a puddle. So maybe the wording around it wont specifically say increase in hp. Might just be something to keep an eye out for as wording will be what fcks us over.
They did it from WORD OF MOUTH. which under their own rules isn’t acceptable evidence! If we provided that same evidence for a buff, it wouldn’t have been accepted because it wouldn’t have been reliable, so WHY was it accepted for a nerf? THAT is what urks me about it. The fact they went against their own rules to nerf it.
The side composite add on the Challenger mk.3 and 2 (Dorchester 2E i think) states it has 400mm of heat protection yet the protection analysis shows just around 260mm, is that a bug with the protection analysis or a bug in the armor? (and testing with KE ammo shows just a 10mm increase rather than 30mm)
the x-ray values are manually entered values rather than the calculated values in protection analysis.
both the mk.3 and CR2 have 255mm CE protection @ 0 degrees with a cap of 350mm.
its also worth noting that protection varies a lot depending on where you aim on the side, the upper section that covers the fuel tanks has a lower value in protection analysis than the area that covers the running gear.
It’s dynamic I think it shows the maximum protection level and then when you start to do ammo analysis it shows the protection for that specific round.
The statcard values are just general values input by gaijin.
For example, CONTACT-5 on the statcard provides 120mm of KE protection. However, at a flat angle, it only actually provides 50mm. Dynamic armour like ERA and composite can’t really be well represented by a single statcard number, its just a very rough protection estimate.
Basically, don’t worry about the statcard values, they are meaningless.
