Where I shot hitting ERA:
Spoiler
That is not the driver’s port, that is the UFP.
This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.
T-90M doesn’t use Kontakt 5 thus would would be a misrepresentation.
DM53 was primarily designed to defeat Kontakt 5 + armor.
Relikt didn’t exist yet, and Relikt was designed to protect against DM53 + armor.
u should be clearer next time
okay what are the sources for your claim?
I usually hit center mass on an ERA block but was rushed, so I hit my standard position which is still an ERA block below the running bar to avoid hitting driver’s port area.
Either way I avoided the driver’s area and avoided “pixel hunting”.
Especially since overlapping plates incorrectly increase armor protection in War Thunder.
Overlapped plates no ERA hit:
And T-90A:
3BM60 was used cause I closed the game for a break earlier.
The outer part of the UFP ends higher up than the inside part:
Which is why i in my first response said:
Edit:
Additionally, i don’t think any of the MBT’s at BR 11.0 gets access to the DM53 either so it’s not even a fair comparison to begin with. Better to go for BR to BR comparisons if you’re going for in-game things.
Edit2:
I remembered that it’s easier to do this to show what area has weaker armor:
Anything in that square has less equivalent armor than the rest of the UFP, on average, no pixel hunting.
Edit3:
Why did you change this screenshot without even mentioning it?
You seem to don’t even know common things of tanks. You are trying to make me send you a government file that already got LEAKED I guess. You can check the files and footages of what I say, and you’ll sew the proof. You are just trying to be toxic here, lol.
I’m plsying the game for fun, and I have a bad pc for near to a year.
Also, as I said I play the game for fun, I’m not saying “I can’t pen, buff it”. I just gave advice to game to make it fair to other players.
I’m not saying I want to become unkillable, I just say “make the game fair enough for others too”.
Since there is weakspots at Leopard 2’s too (280mm NERA part, under the mantlet, between cheeks and chassis etc.)
He’s not trying to be toxic (at least not with that specific comment), Gaijin needs proof to change things in game as i stated in my first response in this thread.
its historically accurate tho
leopard 2 has that weakspot irl, which was later fixed with 2A5 version or add on composite armor to hide/improve it like on the 2PL or 2A4M
the reason why its a weakspot because of the gunner sight that is in the way, hence they cannot put more armor on that part, the 2A5 fixed it by moving gunner sight to the roof and slightly increase turret spacing
oh sure buddy, yeah what GOVERNMENT FILE has been leaked? is that because i know you be lying to make DM53 pen more than the fricking mach jesus telephone pole LOSAT MIM-166??? u can put it in my dms or send it to a tech mod for verification because i know that Gaijin used available information on the penetrator core length of most apfsds or apds round and use their calculation base on Willy Odermatt formula(Lanz-Odermatt model) and afaik the penetration of the ingame DM53 L/55 are actually fairly accurate irl
ofc W. Odermatt isnt 100% guarantee corrected but for a game like WT its 100% feasible
“you sure know alot about tanks”
if i say i know the alphabet id still know more than you buddy
all your info are made up numbers
Ofc gaijin isnt accurate either but DM53 does not have 1000m rha pen, more like 700mm or so +/-
Having a bad pc isnt that much of an issue.
I played for a few years on a laptop running a max of 25fps in ground arcade.
Well, not the rounds in game, at least. M829A4 and DM73, yes, but not what we have.
and what should those who use the battering ram say that even a DM23 will pierce us?
I agree with you. Only because I’m grinding Germany right now, so I want to abuse the most OP thing.
My bad, I thought I did. I don’t even remember most of that hour.
Uh huh.
Is it not?
How is having one of the best KE penetrators of top tier “not balanced”?
DM53 and M829A2 are able to unequivocally crush 72B '89s and 80Us without issue. Neither have 1m of penetration.
Quite realistic.
That’s brutal, but i hope the trend of opening a players stats whenever they post on the forums doesn’t become a trend
His post is quite obscene. Sometimes people just need a shock to make them realize the problem is them.
