I’m just saying keeping up with 130/140mm logistics, maybe after it becomes properly mainstream… oh wait, humans would have gone extinct by then… how unfortunate.
it just finsihed the second set of its trials
I think the meaning is quite clear

It mean’s its just a “dummy” block for testing purposes, they put those on them so you don’t accidentally go to war with a bunch of fake armour blocks. Luckily for us in War Thunder it will probably provide 5mm KE regardless of being real or fake so it doesn’t matter we can use either.
The fact they have dummy blocks does make he think it may be ERA, as otherwise if its just NERA why not just use a real one, the main issue with ERA would be that it’s explosive.

So if someone drops one when they’re practising installing and uninstalling them, there’s no risk it’s going to compromise the armour.
There are drill/ballast versions of the old Dorchester NERA blocks for peacetime training as well. They had a triangle in the middle of them that carried the same warning that they were not armour.

I hope not considering relikt is already 1 or 2 generations old
So if anything this would actually prove they are (intended to be) armour, in case anyone had any doubts?
It will outperform everything:)
Based on info I have, it will have +/- 50mm more pen than M829A4, which sits at about 750mm.
Enjoy having a good round for once, thank BW for comissioning its development.

sry but nothing will ever compare to the level of star trek era the russians have.
im surprised they havent come up with something that fires photon torpedoes.
You mean the way Gaijin models it or the way it actually is?
Edit: I think this is a Russian propaganda account or a fool that fell for the stuff Gaijin has been passively saying through the game for years. Either or, this is wrong.
Is the second part a direct quote from Pollard or just from Gabriele Molinelli on twitter?
I didn’t original see it on Twitter. So idk if they quoting the tweet or both are quoting Pollard
