i can see the 200mm gun shield from here
also the entire breach is somehow just worse looking than on the TD

They will put something like the TOGS on top of it?

Nope, no need as TVD is integrated into the sight

hmmm, just to look silly then

common sense but no apparently not. that said i wouldn’t be entirely surprised if that idea gets slapped on.

this really is quite the weakspot

but the nobs might indicate there is some sort of add on armor to further protect it

The issue is probably the drivers hatch and turret cheek clearance, I suppose you could place a block Infront and have a cavity. But the whole point was not to change the hull structure too much


Another (low quality) snapshot for the pile

Seems we’re only allowed to see the front-right side

It’s to hide the fact its a cardboard cut out

Real Question, Is the TD turret meant to be this high ? Since I just got shot under it

Don’t worry she’s just got some Abrams syndrome but it’s not too bad

Yeah like it’s the first time in like 50 battles, just surprised me

Potential future upgrade… We hope XD

Maybe we get some renders of a extra amor package tomorrow

Not a fan tbh. I hope there are visual changes for the final service ready version.

There is something very odd With this things turret ? Look it Looks like It is going down behind the gun Manlet almost ?

Even the bolts slope down with it ?

Does the Roof move with the gun breach ? Wouldn’t be the first since the CCVL and HSTVL does it

The Manlet is even further forward too ? So whats behind it

Rear of the turret is also larger to the point that it lips over ?

It’s probably just the new ammo storage. The normal turret was made for 2 piece ammo remember.

That part I get, But why does it slop behind the gun shield, You can tell by the sun light reflections. It’s a strange design.

Like that funny welded on bit on top of the Gun shield Seems to helps protect the area behind it. Maybe by causing the round to tumble ?
