How are the stats for the T-series tanks looking?

T 55


But it has the fuel tank over the right front hull ammo storage, that works like a wet ammo
Give me a sec so my PC boots up so i can take a ss
here it is

First stage ammo covered in fuel tank
Unless the fuel explodes by itself it prevents rounds from doing so

Interesting, now the question is if that is just a gimmick for the T-55 and wet ammo storage was never intended to be a proper mechanic.

@Smin1080p could the developers share some thoughts on the implementation of wet ammo storage, and the way it works in game? Does it just appear as an armored bin around the ammunition like on the Sherman, Chieftain and Challenger 1 Mk. 2 or is there meant to be a proper mechanic that is implemented with corresponding modifiers into the games code

Not only T55, OBJ 435, T64, T72, T80, T90, ZTZ 88, ZTZ96, ZTZ99, MBT2000, WZ1001 and VT-4A1 all have them

I think it has more to do with the fact that post soviet designs used disel as a wet ammo, rather than special fluids. ANd as that diesel counted as fuel, it found its way to the game

What bin?

Wit I thought they had bins. Can we expect at least some consistency

They never did in game. Irl they did got bins in the floor with the fluid, but in game it is just moved to the floor.

It seems to me that BN did had a plate on the ufp, the same as the base Cr2

Still want somebody on?

Sure, we can test that

Tell me when you will be on WT

just loading up now

Include what?

Your looking at the wrong part of the file

That part of the file is what determines if your tank blows up after your killed, or just burns etc.

Plate on the BN UFP


1 hesh loaded but about 9 show up? fun

The models does not care what type and how much of shell you have. Certain shells are modelled as them. You can have full APFSDS and those hesh will still be there

I finished testing with help of @John_Sneeeeeeeew
Here is the conclusion
Shermans does not have Wet storage, it explode like normally even with only one shell hit.
Cr1 charges exlode all the time, only shells modeled as darts does not explode, all shells with HESH model explode no mather if you have full APFSDS load.
T72 only the fuel tank right to the driver can sometimes prevent shells from exploding, the fuel tank at the back of crew compartment explode 100% of the time

What plate?
