That’s why this is the round used

Spoiler

@Smin1080p Just want to point out, this error:

Protection against…? haha

This issue is present in Xray of CR2 OES.

Which it’s not because the back board is seen with other packages and is not from Rafael

Excellent

These will be fixed in the future with the model update.

We also need to rectify the blocks being modelled as one tile which they are not it’s multiple tiles inside each block

That’s not something I’ve been able to confirm. The back boards of Mk3 bulldog and Warrior both appear the same except for shape. There’s every likelihood the ASPRO-HMT package is tested with the mount as you can’t put it on a tank without a mount.

One thing I will point out @Smin1080p is that the blocks are Passive/Active armor, not giant ERA blocks. They shouldn’t completely explode like your conventional ERA.
They’re layered Chobham and Explosive tiles, so there should be leftovers after an impact.

Just make varma like block, and add what is left as era

Same back plate is also seen with just varma blocks is it not?

Different mount. ASPRO-HMT requires specific bolts in specific points.

Will the future model update include remaking the model of TES hull add-on armour, since it’s made up of 3 layers because currently in game it’s only showing 2 layers were it should actually be 3 ??

  • 40/80mm RHA backplate
  • 200mm VARMA/NERA block
  • ASPRO-HMT ERA/NERA

The other problem is the stand offs on the turret side blocks. They are meant to be ERA why on earth did gaijin think there structural steel?

Right on fellas, well i’m going to actually play some games tonight. I think my 7 hour long shift at Gaijin Entertainment has ended lol

@Smin1080p can we get an answer why the turret side plate on top of the composite blocks are modelled as structural steel? Where is the source for that because everything else points towards it being ERA

Can you link me to the report for this please, then I can see whats going on.

so wait, I’m confused now like.

it should only get STANAG 5 protection in a 30 degree frontal arc in relation to the vehicle and not the armour pack?

why would the era be tested this way if its going to be placed as side armour?
