Israeli Eitan IFV Prototype - Bugs, Inaccuracies, And Discussion!

I don’t even play Israel but I’ve been wanting this 8x8 for so long

Actually Israeli sources state 90+KMH and there has been reports of it going 120+KMH at the start of the Gaza invasion. It’s actual top speed is classified and unknown. It’s safe to assume 90-120KMH in game

We have specific sourcing on 90km/h, I’ve come across no sources stating anything above that which gaijin would be willing to accept

I’m assuming this particular version has STANAG 6 frontal and STANAG 4 sides?

I’ll just place this here. The interview is aprox 9 years old, its about the development of the Eitan.
The translation here says: “It (the Eitan) combines conventional protection using reactive armor and active protection.”


SLERA when???

We should have no problem getting SLERA for the side, but I wanna see what they do with this vehicle before I report it

Good point, I’ll get some stuff together later today when I’m done with classes.

For now here’s some new bug reports I’ll add to the main post when I’m done with all the other reports:

Eitan
maybe this will help

Not an acceptable source by gaijin’s standards, 3rd party websites aren’t reliable.

idk about anyone but to me the interesting part of the side armor is this

those extra blocks to me look like the ERA blocks behind the composite.

The image above or below this text, and can you mark which you think is this ERA (it’s likely part of SLERA array I reckon)

I think it is part of the SLERA

yeah pretty much what i thought

All are elements of the SLERA addon package. The back part is how it’s mounted, but contains SLERA as well, with a separate and spaced segment being in front of that, and Composite housing it all around.

I’ll see if I can make a diagram when I get home
