Yes, and when comparing to the Tankograd books which have 2A6s (and 2A5s, since apart from the gun they’re identical) external schematics, i’d say it’s pretty much perfect.
And to be fair, War Thunder still has the best 3D models I’ve seen in any game centered around armoured vehicles, but there’s still a lot of errors that creep in.
Sure, i’d be able to forgive WT if these errors were non-importanct, but in this case those errors are the cause behind the enlargement, and in some cases, creation of weakpoints that are not present on older models (in case of the 2A7V).
the fact gaijin cant even fix the damage model of the challengers and have to redo them all over again says volumes on how bad the modeling has been in the past 5 years.
given how many new vehicles are launched each update i suspect they had to start outsourcing and the problems we see today are a cause of that.
another thing ive noticed is how old bugs that have been fixed in previous models reapear when a new model is launched because thay must have a model on file to copy paste and add new features before its launched.
I guess its important for Gajin to make the Leopard 2A7V mostly vulnerable to even 3bm42. So they decided for a new model with faulty armor values and lotsa armor holes. Making it worse than 30 year old STRV122’s.
I have made a report about missing armor at the side rear part of the hull of the Leopard 2A7V. If you don´t mind, I recommend to check it and “report” it
I know there is things wrong about the 2a7v, but man, I feel slower than some challengers. I have no engine mods but still, I feel like it’s still too slow.
