Hello! I haven’t been checking this thread lately, so I don’t know if this was linked already; but in case it wasn’t, if you are concerned about the current implementation of M1A2 SEPv3, make sure to hop in here!

I honestly dont mind if the Abrams gets its armor modeled badly at least give the Abrams something to deal with kontakt 5
Concerned but i know the truth , Gaijin won’t do anything about it and their past behavior is proof of that, couldn’t even give APS to v3 i don’t think they will do something very very big like buffing hull armor, max they will do if you guys convince them would be very few MM increase in thickness nothing significant just like addition of so called new round M829A3 which is same as previous round just a minor “improvement” which doesn’t do anything significant in term of “game balance”

This is an unrelated matter. Firstly, an APS SEPv3 can always come later and further enhance the lineup, much like it happened with the SEPv2s. This means nothing. And furthermore, there are no pictures of Trophy-equipped SEPv3s yet.
I would direct our efforts to the matters that actually matter and of which we have possibilities of achieving something; right now those being the SEPs’ turret side armor and SEPv3’s hull armor.
While raw penetration is not much of an improvement, M829A3 is 1.6 kg heavier than M829A2, which leads to further and stronger spalling after penetrating; and it also has an anti-ERA top which significantly increases the shell’s effectiveness against Kontakt-5.
Except in game tests show it not working as advertised.

Hence gaijin thinks you should be very happy about that and don’t come up with other ideas like buffing hull Armour or even a better idea like giving a more potent round like in irl which can deal with Relikt
Yeah that’s the problem, we don’t have a possibility of achieving something, at the end it’s just living in a state of high cortisol , we should be very happy about things you mentioned that’s what gaijin thinks

So it works now!? Nice. Still a bit of a gamble shot, is that with the buff they did for russian top tier ERA?
Has it already been said if this nuclear thunder will come to live server when update drops?
Only Relikt got buffed, ever so slightly! M829A3’s performance applies only to Kontakt-5. For Relikt, M829A4 was made!
I still think being able to reliably take down the 11.3-12.3 tanks is nice, even if the Relikt ones retain some immune areas. But the biggest improvement of M829A3 is probably its mass; it’s the heaviest APFSDS out there! That will make it have even greater spall performance, as, if I recall correctly, shell mass had an impact on spalling.

Yes, It will probably come after few days when the update drops
How many of these can I fit in the trunk?

It’s tested though, if they aren’t adding tested and equipped things why would they upgrade hull Armour which would require classified docs to make them agree lol

Its crazy that theyve added stuff for other nations russia using marketing material like this. The level of abuse that their moderators are applying is insane.

That is incorrect.
Here’s the official news release on the foreign military sale: https://media.defense.gov/2024/Dec/12/2003610653/-1/-1/0/PRESS%20RELEASE%20-%20AUSTRALIA%2021-40%20CN.PDF
“Also included is development of a unique armor package”
The Australian SEPv3’s also have a turret serial number ending in A, denoting that they have a different armor package. Domestic SEPv3’s all end in M.
There is an export version of NGAP, which the Poles received shown by their turrets on the SEPv3 ending in MP:
But Australian has a unique armor package developed for them that isn’t NGAP.

You’re doing research that isn’t allowed! The Devs are always right! Never do research that proves their incompetent! (That’s all sarcasm BTW) People just can’t understand that this stuff isn’t that hard to find. It’s public info that you can use your phone to find. Do they know that their phones can be used for more than Insta/TikTok?

IDK whats so hard about doing a basic google search for public info. Like it takes 2 seconds to find that the devs are ignoring the obvious. God forbid the Americans get an accurate MBT thats in active service.
