Let’s talk about the Chieftain

That’s what I thought

It matches the foundry report that I found.
The Chieftain 900 is the only chieftain with correct armour though:

How much less armour do all the others have? Also I appears there is a spall liner or something on the inner side of the UFP but not sure

The others are missing about half of their armour.

What you think about the tape measure on the Chief.

OOF quite the difference then how comes they got it so wrong

Looking at the 900 now myself I don’t think it’s correct either only providing around 220mm head on

It’s based on the real foundry inspection sheet.

Gaijin seemed to have used the lowest allowable value instead of the highest lol.

Lmao what a suprise

Shocking right

So wait, the mk3, 5 etc etc are all about what? half of what they should have compared to IRL?

This should be known by now.

I only made the report over a year ago.

Originally I thought it was just the overlap of the hulls which was incorrect armour wise.
Is it the whole ass UFP which is missing a large portion of armour?

yes, the whole thing including the frontal sides are wrong.

Look at the C900 it has what all the Chieftains should have. Except they should add 10mm to it on average.

I will once I get home man, NGL They’re my favourite tanks but 1 too many times I’ve been caught out by some clown slinging APHE at me and nuked the full think in the UFP.

It makes no sense

Would be might handy , I don’t think britain would of used an MBT for almost 30 years if it’s UFP could be ripped clean through by the 100MM gun found on the T54 / 55

But what do we know. There’s a plethora of data showing the tanks having incorrect values in various areas.

This has the allowed variations meaning it could be 8.34in or it could be 7.57in
I think gaijin chose the smaller.

Im sorry but even 7.57 inches is still larger than what is in game, in game they’ve got what 80mm of UFP armour? that’s barely 4 inches
