No its basically just because it doesn’t have the thicker plate.
T-72A and T-72M1 are both just as resistant yo lower plate shots as the T-80.
In practice it means all spall is eaten by driver and/or fuel tank while the rod is left to do the damage, with the extra plate it means fresh spall right next to the carousel
It is quite unheard of.
Development was finished in 2009.
Compared to T-80BVM we got in game:
engine is 1400 hp instead of 1250 hp one, slightly better zoom choices but gen 2 thermals instead of gen 3, same gun and ammunition, theres less ERA on hull side but turret side has Relikt too. Turret drives are 2E42M which give you 40° just like 2E58 on BVM but vertical drive hasnt been improved.
Muxh better commander sights. Also might have APS but I think its simply my memory being bad.
It would be faster than even BVM we have in game which is already insanely fast, main reasons i like T-80B over T-72B/T-90A is the speed and existence of reverse gear, even though T-80B literally can be lol penned by some tanks in its BR range.
This is also reason I love OF-40MTCA but OF-40MTCA also has either bugged survivability or smth because it easily survives shots it shouldnt.
I didnt leave, and most of the comments are just people with BVM trauma not having a nuetrual unbias opinion about how the spall liners need tweeking becouse the leopards are OP. Lol people are so easy to be hypocrits. I play all nations btw, im not a russian main guy. I was in the forums to complain about the BVM, the KA50 ufo missles, the pantsir and all that BS that happened before. Its funny how you call me out yet you are apart of the people that are just so traumatized by russia that the second your nation has something OP you come forums to laugh at the unbalance and justify it by “WE SUFFERED THIS ENTIRE TIME”…
the problem is that you cant even differentiate between the leopards and the Strv122, you are putting the flak onto the wrong nation. German leopards 2a5/6/PSO dont have spall liners in the chassis, but the Strv122 do, additionaly sweden got lights with spall liners as well,
If you mean spall liners in general even challengers have more spall liner then the german Leopards. You gotta at least specifiy which vehicles you mean and not mislead people
Hm intresting, the thing is I was noticing it was on all leopards. There was an update today addressing something about Low frag after pen bug, i wonder if this helped a little the issue Im posting about. Too bad they give such little information regarding it.
As far as i am aware, i think that addressed all vehicles. I heard complains for every kind of vehicle. I didnt play yet , since the update since i wanted to wait for armor fixes / just gonna start tmw for the event. So i wont meet that problem either way
