Wait they are finally changing multipathing?
That’s how the public takes it that’s not really what militaries are doing. Also western tanks don’t typically use “ERA” they use NERA (Non-explosive-reactive-armor) specifically because it lowers the risk of harming nearby infantry.

And NERA is made possible by, you guessed it, having a bigger tank, thus having more space for good standalone armor.
I mean some nato stuff use mix of NERA and ERA between their stuff like the PUMA

Ok? That doesn’t change that the main point of NERA is to lower the risk of injuring nearby Infantry.
It also doesn’t change the fact that ERA is still fitted fairly regularly on Western vehicles too.
Either way, what I wrote is an explenation as to why the Soviets developed better ERA than the West and why this was a necessity when looking at their tank design and doctrine, as faulty and false logic was used by AlvisVisla.
Even besides that there is still no reason to think that without ERA it would still be safe to be in proximity of a hit vehicle, whether it has ERA or not.
I’m quite done with the conversation as is, as my points were already made several comments ago.

it depends tbf since for example not everyone uses ERA and some use something similar but not the same, and the purpose of them is to stop RPG’s and chemical warheads for the most part since that’s a pretty good advantage ERA provides very good chemical protection for low weight

also another thing in consideration ERA does cause fragmentation due to their metal components clara ERA has no metal components only ceramics at most, in fact the cover its some kind of polymer

Typically it’s NERA (if it’s things like Leo 2, Abrams, Chally, etc etc). The only “western” vehicles that regularly get equipped with ERA is upgrades to former Soviet block vehicles like the PT-91
So explosion pushing in on a tank would cause equal amount of damage to an explosion pushing out from a tank? Of course there is still risk you are near a tank that just got hit by something that exploded but you have a lot higher chances of less injury and survival if that explosion isn’t almost immediately getting thrown in the opposite direction. ERA blows outwards to an explosion trying to blow inward.
AFAIK nothing has been announced, but there is some discussion on the forum asking for it, especially considering next update adds ARH’s
Can anybody give information about thermals on leo2a4CAN
They first used first generation EMES-15 thermal sight as standard on all Leopard 2A4s but this was replaced by the third generation ATTICA in around 2014.
So if gaijin adds it, it won’t get any nvd’s at all bc they’ll choose an early prototype, got it
At worst it will come with first gen thermal optic, but hopefully it will come with third gen.
Nah the devblog states “high resolution thermal imagers” so its getting the same optics as the 2A7V.
Think of it as a 2A7V but with even worse armor and firepower, and as a premium
It looks super sexy tho

Gaijin about to make some bank from this one boys
Tho now i’m curious about the 2A6 CAN
