Ill also put this here to make a point. Gaijin should put the whole CVRT line back into development.

Isn’t the neutral steering still broken? Last time I used it the thing turned about as well as the maus.
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.
That is a 66mm diameter smoke discharger and it is easily thinner than the lower turret plate. (That is apparently 41mm)

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.
Unfortunately it seems exact armour thickness is either unknown or still classified.

The visual model has the upper turret plate as noticeably thinner than the lower one.
for them to achieve the same effective thickness the lower turret plate should be around 60mm thick.
Would it maybe be possible to appeal to gaijin to make the lower front turret plate thicker purely based off the visual model?

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.

Ballistic V50 of 7017 (the actual material CVRT was made from)
CVRT was rated against 14.5 frontally from 200 meters meaning it had much more armour than seen in game.
Sides of CVRT where rated for 7.62 AP from all sides at any range.

They even got the engine wrong. The figures they have is for the first 6bt 5.9 liter Cummins engine fitted during the LEP.

took two major updates for my report to get sorted. at least it wasn’t two years

So it’ll be at least two major updates to give it the armour found in the manuals lol.

did you show full thickness graphs in a bug report?

Nah unfortunately I’ve not seen any graphs for that.
What we do have is a side profile of the frontal armour in a gearbox repair manual
As well as a MOD report stating that they should be able to stop 14.5mm AP at a range of 200 meters.

if we scrape together £15000 we can just buy one and cut it up to see lmao

Lmao could do or just measure one if anyone would be nice enough to let us get up close.
A lot of the armour slabs are overlaid lap joints so you can just measure from the front of the plate to the center of the weld.

What armour plate are you looking for?
pretty much all of it on the hull seems off
I know there is not real exact measurements to go off, but in this video they show the engine bay of a CVR(T) Sabre, where it is possible to see the thickness of some of the armor plates of the hull.
