I’ve emailed Mr Hewes. I’m not expecting a reply but worth a shot!
Calling it now:
Mr ‘Not a Bug’ will proceed to say that he doesn’t consider it a valid source. Because reasons.
If the devs don’t even consider Janes Defence reliable (according to whom? the Ru MOD?) then I don’t know if they’ll accept Haynes. The hypocrisy is honestly getting old now…
Wtf Janes is THE source for military technology
Yep, it is not considered a reliable source, you can use it as a last resort secondary
Alas, that is the mentality we are dealing with. Any non-Russian source has to meet an almost dizzying burden of proof to be accepted.
Gaijin then refer to Janeski Defenski - or whatever RU equivalent they have and happily take it as gospel.
I’m currently rewatching all the tank chats from the tank museum. They mention 12s for 360° rotation on Chally 2
Sadly videos aren’t evidence
Even though these guys have the tanks are maintain them and know a lot about them
12s is the Rotation we have now
Funny that even the visual model has thicker side skirts on the TES and OES than their bs nerf. The ERA is currently hanging in the Air
If anything then they should model the gap as spaced armour?
ehh, and here are the things. One the “dust cover” that will be there now? And it will be with what thicness?
Well, is this thing for real a dust cover? Dust cover on a composite brick and wall? Why would you do that?
And if no they will add a what? some kind of a structure that will have no armor at all?
you even can see the BOLTs in the picture which means that there is a plate behind that, which its bolted to and no air gap like we have now
And there is a second thing. The front part of the plate is 40mm thicc, as there is a fender there. Thats why there was another plate added there between the 40mm and ECM box. So, if that was added, why only on the front. Past the fender/1st drive wheel here is a place for the composite at the back of the plate. That is why im trying go get a 2h/2i belly shot, to see if the composite is there. On 2g it is not there, but 2g and 2h/i have a different backplates. WHY IS IT SO HARD. They should have left it alone.
you can just see right through the gap to the bar armor behind it XD
I still can’t understand if this is a fixed or a nerf.
they add a steel at top in dev
and extended the thin composite armor inside.
but missing thick one
in live server
What does added cumulative protection equivalent mean for ERA
