The point is about the modelling; a first, inner layer where the second module is installed in an overlapping manner. As of now, 2A7V is the only Leopard with correct structure.
Also check the KE effectiveness; it’s higher on 2A7V than it is on the others.
And again- check the volumetric values, not the “stat card” ones!
If we’re talking about the model itself, yes, it’s more accurate. However the topic is as stated, about the thickness of the module, which is not accurate.
I wanted to correct the bug report but knowing how Gaijin is, let them first correct the stated thickness. You did the report about the side skirt thickness? Or you know if someone did it?. If not let me know and tomorrow ill do it
They are totally equal, am I right? Not like the top layer thins out to about ~30mm so that the bottom skirt can go over it, but nooo, they are both 50mm! Trust me bro!
Vladuxa closed it, but he’s wrong about the skirts being 50 + 50, they should be 50mm + 110mm, with the top skirt thinning out to 30mm when the bottom skirt overlaps it, for a total of ~140mm + 20mm air gap. I included photos above.
CHECK. THE. VOLUMETRIC. VALUES. (Armor dimensions at point and effective thickness at impact angle 0º).
Leopard 2A7V’s skirts are perfectly fine. Before making tons of wrong bug reports and presumably calling me out as wrong, first make sure and double-check stuff, please.
Leopard 2A7V’s side skirts are flawlessly modelled. It’s the other Leopards that need correction.
If you switch out 50mm for 110m, sure. Inb4 you say “it’s just the dev server”, don’t - really just don’t, the last two times that happened, you know… PSO & 2A7V armour models. Also the comment made by vlad makes me think they will lower the volumetric thickness of the lower skirt as well, just so they can be 50 + 50.
Volumetric armor pieces never have the true armor as set value.
Challenger 2’s turret base is stated as 38mm thick, yet it’s 51mm thick in most areas. Many cast pieces are set as 50mm thick yet reach up to 150mm thick.
The “value” in the “statcard sense” is meaningless. The one that matters is the volumetric one you get when you point the cursor at the piece.
