Yes lol. along with just steering it in general it drifts all over the place.
With the amount of bug reports I have made compared with the amount that have been fixed (0) i can not really be bothered to look into that tbh.
They clearly had no idea what the armour was like. Most obvious indication of that was them not using the imperial system.
If the exact armor profile from the manual its self and a statement from the manufacturer regarding armour protection is not enough than Gaijin has lowered their standards significantly.
It was designed to withstand 14.5mm Heavy MG rounds. Gaijin clearly modeled this in game as seen below.
Yes good work when I get home I have some V50 information regarding AA7017. The actual material used to make CVRT as seen on striker.
Just to add to the observations you made. British vehicles from this time frame at least would actually have imperial measurements. The CVR(T) line should have all thicknesses listed as standard fractions of an inch. IE 25.4, 38.1, 44.45
Gaijin either did not know or did not care.
Nonetheless I’ve seen a Scorpion in person and that lower turret plate is easily over 2 inches thick.
As for appealing to gaijin I legit showed them a cross section of the frontal armour layout from the manual and they said no not a bug.
