Isn't that a spall liner on Lynx IFV?

I were browsing trought armor-ralated telegram channel ‘‘btvt2019’’ and found a interesting photo that shows hull of Lynx at Rheinmetall plant in Hungary taken from a youtube video. To me it looks very much like a spall liner, would be nice if somebody could confirm or deny that.

Technically (as the Rheinmetall brochure says) the Lynx has a Spall Liner.

I think you are correct saying that it’s the spall liner.

Thanks. I knew that it had it, almost every modern IFV comes with that. But this is the first time I saw it exposed. Lynx was added a while back, about time to correct it.

It should really be updated. There are a number of add-on armour plates that aren’t modeled (though clearly visible) aswell.

It’s like someone over at Gaijin takes interest in a new mechanics, implements it on a couple of vehicle, then forgets about it and moves on to the next mechanic.

Dozer blades, spall liners, turret baskets, we keep getting these half-baked additions that are immediately forgotten about.

probably because all these new mechanics just make the game worse

dozers are at least inoffensive
