Nothing changes

I knew it was nothing burger and now they have buffed Relikt, i mean they just wanted to buff Relikt, M829A3 addition is just a excuse in it’s current form it isn’t a credible upgrade than A2 , best apfsds round is reserved only for Russian tank it seems (Object 292)

And im pretty sure on release it had 695mm at 10m now it got 698 at 10m, idk when the 3mm buff happened but buff for other darts is a big no

War thunder players : My western tank suck please fix its issues
Gaijin - Ok, now we will buff USSR tanks instead

They do penetration recalculations sometimes. 3BM42 got a nerf in penetration a while ago IIRC.

This is why I’ll never play simulators mode so much copy paste slop with the same tanks for each other countries.

Have someone else resubmit. And then tell them to pound sand.

Theres no way they get away with this without some crazy pushback because is this not the tank where it is literally undeniable that it had an armor increase? The bug reporting manager said “yeah it was increased but we dont know how much so its not being increased” once again asking for what? Documents we dont have? Its been increased, we have a general idea of by how much, from even a balancing perspective i cant see why it wouldnt be up armored

That’s some bs (to Gaijin)

You know… if there were posts about RU armor with less data that were approved might have a case for racism accusations. Just saying.

We catagorically know that the CR2 armour is about half what it should be, courtesy of some maniac who leaked it. As well as that the ARmour on the T90A is over performing as well but that could of been changed as it was years ago folks were on aboutit.

Now back during the cold war I would agree with you but not now. That system was designed with longevity in mind it is designed to defeat any Russian/Chinese armour. That includes up to and whatever else they bolt onto the T-14.

The first version of Relikt we saw was called Kaktus and was displayed with the Black Eagle tank
Relikt is a cheaper version of this system. The US knew about Relikt in the 90s they would have had information on the system and what the changes were from that we see M289A3 and A4 although A4 is again designed in mind with future Russian and Chinese heavy armour arrangements. The same when we look at the 130mm and 140mm guns

Didn’t the director of Gaijin say he was going to avoid top-tier premium vehicles? On YouTube

It is missing the Throphy system. It doesn’t make sense not to give it to it since yall will not improve the hull.
