In a recent battle, my Leopard 2A8’s gun mantlet was penetrated. Is this realistic?

Definitely not realistic but given War Thunder’s combat mechanics that’s possible, in reality a shot like that would naturally knock the tank out of the battle even if it didn’t pierced but the barrel would be, probably, useless at that point. However, I might be wrong, War Thunder’s armor piercing system is somewhat simple yet work very well on the game’s scope, so you’ll have those kind of moments, in some games you have overcomplex mechanics, in others you have simplified, in some try to find a balance in between like War Thunder.
did it make the breach yellow?
It’s just a reskin that costs 400k xp to grind
Excited to see the future 140 mm Leclerc T4 / ASCALON still not able to pen russian upper front plates on my part
Anyway, I’ve played a lot of matches in the Leopard 2A8NO, but I’ve never seen the LWS activate. No idea why.
You won’t be able to pen lower front plates either. They’d give it a plastic mockup apfsds. Maybe you’ll even get a quick time event where you would need to pop it out of the frame like a gunpla.
I don’t understand why they didn’t give Leo 8 the DM73.
I mean, this game’s balance is all about “give A nation the bias for X months, then give B nation a counter to this bias for Y months, making it the new bias”.
They should have given Leo 8 the DM73, then give Russia the T-14 Armata or something being able to counter this, then give France the Ascalon being able to pen Armata’s UFP, and so on

how much pen would dm73 have? dm53 is already so good tho
Rheinmetall has stated that the DM73 offers approximately 8% better overall performance than the DM53/DM63, mainly thanks to improved propellant and a higher-pressure gun.
You gotta play for the love of the tree not meta chasing, that or you didn’t pay the snail enough money to use your LWS
Potentially
I mean give at least the DM53 or 73 the anti-ERA capability to pen Relikts
And counter balance that releasing a t-90m Proryv or Armata capable of stopping those rounds. Then counter balance these ones releasing the Ascalon capable of pening the UFP of those. And so on
Release a counter, then a counter to that, then a counter to that etc, to balance things… I mean that’s what I would do

Gaijin’s developers focus more on balance. But when it comes to game balance, they’re clearly no match for World of Tanks.
Obviously, giving the Leopard 2A8 DM73 would make it stronger, and they don’t want other players complaining about it.
Personally, I’d say, what’s there to complain about? If you think the Leopard 2A8 with DM73 is so strong, why not get one yourself? But the reality is, a lot of players only play two or three nations.
People been complaining about russian UFPs not being able to be lolpened while other NATO MBTs can be (justified), but when it’s the other way around it’s a no go
Give 2A8 DM73 so it can lolpen everything that’s russian or chinese, then give Russia the Armata, and so on
