Other wise leave the armour and let gaijin just add the M829A3 at this point just compensate the lack of upgraded armour, for better ammunition.
At least M829A3 made it through and was “suggested to developers.”
At least we made the point to the devs that there is DU armor in the hull of the Abrams we just didn’t have the KE values which someone else is making a bug report on it right now.
If that’s the case then we should be golden
Right now the best way, is just by guessing. That is close to the official number of the DU inserts.
Can you post the link to the report once its made? We all need to upvote it.
Sure
Yep. We are working on the Leclerc armor values (shameless plug, as we will share the same source for exact values : Community Bug Reporting System) and found values for both the Leclerc and abrams. We are taking kenny’s report and improving it with actual values
We will keep you updated

I understand you guys for this obstinacy, however it would be nice if every now and then there was attention on other tanks like the C1 ARIETE which will face these like all MBTs in the world which modestly exceed 600 mm of armor while Ariete is inserted into these RB with just 300 mm of armour…

It’s still funny to me that they can’t make an educate guess or just use the DU values on the turret for the hull armor considering a lot of other things are educated guesses in the game already.

I can’t read French or Italian… much easier to find sources for your home nation.
Centauro> Ariete
Just play centauro I 120 and wait for Centauro 2. I lost all hope for Ariete
come on guys u can do this
If you are willing to learn reading Russian, that’s where we found informations on KE values. What a struggle tho
That is some serious levels of dedication that I could never dream of achieving.
I have for a long time with good patience just waited for gaijin to just do their best and actually do something for the Abrams LFP but nononono for some weird reason they refuse to even try to add any form of improvement to the LFP regardless when people have gone far and beyond to give lots of sources and documentation but no. Not even using guesswork like they have done to one or several vehicles that are in-game. There is absolutely no point in grinding new abrams variants at this point. I have Top tier vehicles for US, SWE & USSR and at this point why even bother adding new Abrams variants regardless if they don’t offer anything new besides the ARAT which would should have been added several uppdates ago. And really how often is ERA even useful at top tier when it comes to HEAT threats?
Yeah, I’m not the one doing the heavy lifting. Most of the credit goes to @WaretaGarasu and @Bossman919, those two are the MVPs here, if you want to thank someone
