Well, it is 500-600 in very specific areas. Along with some parts where it just says “no damage” without even mentioning the thickness (which truly end up being spots where you do no damage).
So it’s not like it isn’t modeled as being 600 nowhere. Clearly the issue is that it’s only modeled as such on a few select spots instead of on a more major part of the breech.
The edges between the mantlet and turret cheeks are obviously near the proper protection to the amount due the geometry of the ends of the breech being circles. My problems are the left and right mantlet cheeks.
The mantlet cheeks should be upwards of 600mm instead of the current 240mm
Here a more accurate representation of the CR2 mantlets should be.
The numbers physically don’t add up correctly. That’s the problem with the Challenger Mantlets.
NATO wont get something better therefore russia shouldnt get something better for balance
tor is ussr design and for some reason china gets it but russia always needs to be biased and get something better that is the best in the game
then you dont play toptier, in every match with russia there are atleast few kamovs
you cant even fly 1500km/h at ground level and not get spotted by one of those rat helis
2a7 armor is a joke anyways, russian bias IS real
here a pic of my 2a7 dying to a t80bvm HE shell hit in turret
a f*ing HE to strongest part of a7 armor
which is like 3 times smaller and harder to hit
t80bvm is just fake
just look how often it blocks shells side on with its magic era, shells go through driver,ammo and engine without detonating ammo, turret ring and its tracks blocking all damage,… and how easily a leopard dies when penetrated
not to mention kamovs tanking few AAMS and even apfsds flying without tail without issue
whenever I look at someones stats t80bvm has 60% winrate leo2a7 has 40% winrate
So your point is team skill is what causes win rates and not the tank itself.
M1A2 is a superior tank to T-80BVM, that’s obvious to everyone that isn’t Russian or loves Russia.
Also other vehicles that match BVM’s win rate on my profile:
Leopard 2PL, Bishma TWMP, Challenger 2, Challenger Mk3, M1A1 HC, M60 AMBT, ZTZ96A.
Guess you think Challenger Mk3 is as “OP” as T-80BVM.
Just cause my teams are bad doesn’t mean a tank is bad.
all of those vehicles arent 11.7, stop manipulating lol
I’m showing the state of russian bias playing on 11.7
EVERYONE has 60% wr on t80bvm, its straight up proof of russia having a much better lineup than any other country at 11.7
1- This is about Abrams.
2- Stingers are currently better than Igla by far.
2a- You proved no Russian bias by bringing up an American missile that’s better than Soviet equivalent.
The claim about Russian Bias was never siloed to some specific set of examples, and the claim of not existing is very broad and so easily disprovable statement, due to that fact.
If you needed one though compare how much they have resisted implementing any sort of improvement to the hull NERA array, and compare that to the planned IRST & HMD on the Yak-141, or various limited run / prototype Thermals being present on Whatever T-80 configuration that is relevant.
Ok? That doesn’t make them properly implemented.
So can you explain the following erroneous performance? Stingers don’t seem to be doing all to well.
Let alone the already linked explanation of the oversights made in the MANPADS Article? or their use of Soviets sources and flawed assumptions that with all of 10 minutes of looking were dispelled.
You brought up Yak-141 thus your entire post is null and void.
“Yak-141 was introduced with the same exact rules as Kikka and Ho-229.” doesn’t prove anything other than Gaijin has been consistent with those rules for 12 years.
Again, Stinger isn’t Russian, so it can’t be used as proof.
Glad you agree with me that Stinger is currently incorrect though.
HESH and HEAT are receiving their own overpressure mechanics next patch.
You’ll be able to overpressure T-80BVM’s by hitting their turret fronts as well.
Also, personally I wouldn’t be so open about complaining about T-80BVM’s whilst using the (shared) best tank in the entire game, it’s a bit embarrassing.
