Upon further investigation, the official Eitan website specifies that the turret with the 30MKU2 cannon has one of its key functions being to attack infantry and low-flying aerial targets:

And here is a statement from 2023 saying they are making these modifications to shoot down UAVs and low-flying helicopters, based on what was seen in the war in Ukraine:
Likely not, if it does it’s armor integrated meaning haha screw you, you don’t get spall liners bc it’s not Russian technology! (cries in abrams)
Im wondering if devs really dont understand that bushmaster is worthless at such high br. And missiles arent smth redeeming as well due to how bad they are implemented. And you only have 4 of them. I can already bet all ammo will sit in turret so every turret hit will render you completely useless like in namers case. Aps isnt something great either, gl stopping 3bm60, m829 or any other apfsds - dominant ammo type on this br range.
Literally every neat feature this vehicle has was chocked by devs with wire. By br placement, terrible in game implementation and bmpt introduction (this thing casually erases every other autocannon carrier).
I was hoping for some 8.3-9.7 fast autocannon tank with actually useful (at that br range autocannon) like this or achzarit rcws 30 but without spikes (so their br doesnt get inflated so bad) but devs seem to be obsessed with adding unplayable sadmobiles with spikes.
It’s intentional they added so much around 10.7-11.3 all of them are sitting ducks for the bmpt so they can have a good time and maybe buy another premium gaijin actually fixed The ammo going out in one shot but only for the bmpt they gave it an ammo box by labeling it a tank destroyer
I think it needs to specifically say the vehicle is capable of using programmable shells and is carrying it someone needs to do the IRIST slm stunt and ask the company in an email if it was capable of using it and if it was tested otherwise based on those statement they can assume the turret uses HE only for flying targets
this is not yak 141 we can’t just say it was intended to get it unfortunately without any source
Well apparently it’s part Russian now soo… spall liners soonTM? Lmao
Atleast not composite screen, let’s be honest
Glad they acknowledge it’s a form of reactive armor
So, that’s means infinite loop of not-adding reactive armour is finally ended?
By the way, is armour inaccuracy report will be done?
what
Eitan receiving SLERA (I think, maybe its NERA), Survives the best HEAT in the game (3BK18), SPYDER Receives I-Derby ER (first dual pulse missile in the game), this update is awesome
Hopefully Gaijin will also give some love to the Namer and finally give it the armor it deserves.
As stated before, it is a KONTAKT-1
What we have now is regular ERA, and the visual model suggest it will stay like this. ERA is different from any form of non reactive or self limiting ERA. Unless they change it and actually model SLERA for once, it’s just gonna be normal old ERA with one use per. Now the question is if they’ll give it any KE effectiveness (they won’t… bc only Russians get KE effective ERA duh). Worth mentioning, we don’t have anything suggesting the side armor is or isn’t SLERA, it very well could just be a modern ERA (and very likely is given the images we have)
(I’ll do a deep dive in a sec on all of this
Oh and in other armor news we have NERA visual model for the UFP:
Its probably just a placeholder name for now. Yet “classified Israeli ERA from unknown manufacturer” also sounds a bit wonky.
They’d just call it “ERA” and speculate on it if that’s the case
Did I see correctly that gaijin also added composite behind the ERA?
How many spice 250s and 1000s did the f15i get?
