As Navy_Phantom said. Due to tanks layout and things like thin armor that won’t spall. This leading to what we seen. (module and thin armor catching all the spall)
Maybe if we had see more datamine. It might tell us more about such problem.
Not to mention how wonky it is to have ERA eating whole 105-120mm APFSDS rod…
To rubs salt into the wound
Gaijin seem to think that hot piece of metal (spall) flying faster than the speed of sound hitting ammo propellant are like using cutter knife to cut open ammo case thus only made it turn black or turn yellow. (not just Soviet vehicles btw)
As i have said in other topic.
Gaijin did intentionally nerf ammo explode / burning change across the board. Without any patch note or mention in dev blog (which isn’t acceptable behavior )
T series armor is definitely buffed, a T80BV got detonated through the UFP in Ukraine by what im assuming isn’t the latest and greatest apfsds round. In game its impossible for any round to pen this spot.
not even that they got DM63 or annything I saw pics of even before the western tanks got donated way in the begining of a BVM burned out and a small hole in the UFP of it so it was a 3bm42
That’s spaghetti code bro. There are plenty of times you can shoot vehicles in-game and then the ammo just does not detonate. If anything I find eastern tank ammo more reliable to detonate just because its completely unprotected most of the time.
As I have to point out everytime this is brought up, do we know if that T-80 was actually destroyed by the hit, as well as what actually hit it there?
This is a photo of a T-72A turret that defeated 3BM15, despite the huge hole on the outside. A hole on the outside =/= complete penetration. We also know the exact composition of the T-80BV’s UFP armor, which is how it is modeled in WT, and pretty much all NATO top tier MBTs can penetrate through the lower part of the UFP.
And DM53 don’t have historical anti ERA property for it
Yet Leopard got historical nerf because of historical reasons it kinda dumb move from Gaijin that they seem to take action seriously in term of historical nerf but ignore every document know to man for historical buff for western stuff
Even funnier - thats FCS limitarion. But they dont want to implement FCS traverse speeds limitations… maybe because soviets will stuck with 5 deg/s vertical
I suppose it Gaijin being double standard
They really don’t care about balance or historical BS they just do what the F ever they wanted at this point or incompetent.
They can make Leclerc strong as Leopard too (if they are competent that is) Leclerc is not that bad tanks like in the game compare to Leopard
They just don’t but instead throw Leopard to France just attempt to shut the mouth of France players like “Okay okay that’s enough!! Leclerc is suck and we’re not competent enough to fix it here take some Leopard 2 and shut up!!”
Lazy attempt if you ask me
the Leclerc was acknowledged by all armies that fought against or used it that it’s better than any Leopard and that it’s a marvel of technology and yet it’s one of the worst mbt’s ingame behind the ariete
Eastern tanks are heavily buffed from their true performance to make them viable in top tier. I have seen a picture of t90m with a clear penetration hole from an apfsds round(although the round used to destroy the tank was not specified). They are a bit overpowerd but its for gameplay reasons not just “russian bias”.
