Is there a reason why M338 shell’s anti-heavy ERA is not modeled and will it ever be? It’s been a long while since it’s implementation and Russia being the only nation with armor protection is really annoying especially when we don’t have even the approximation of modern armor on NATO tanks like Ariete or Merkava’s SLERA.
All information is open to the public so there’s no other reason for it to be so delayed, especially now when top tier is a cesspool of BMPTs and other Russian vehicles laid with them bricks.

Strv and Leo2A7 have armor
woow one tanks per nations big game changer…
Russia is way more forgiving armor wise but you have a point. My point is, i don’t mind lack of anti-ERA capabilities in shells if the armor is modeled across the board, but it’s not. While T90 has to look at my direction and click i in my foil wrap protected Merkava have to aim then find weak spot then shoot and that’s in game where each millisecond counts and people spend money to reload 0.5 s faster. War thunder ain’t realistic anyway with them paper missiles and stalinium, might at least make it fun by having this alien concept of balance. It’s either all nations have no armor or we implement skill of aiming by implementing armor for all. Or at least make it like with night battles where i can opt out of fighting against or with USSR cuz it’s just not fun and as painful as wiping with sandpaper.

But not all nations have good reverse or reload so why should everyone be equally good armor?
dont own the any leopards, but doesnt the 2a7 have an L/55 but sweden has a worse L/44? im probs wrong tho
the discussion was about armor not the cannon.
2A7V to be precise has the L55a1 even, capable of firing even more advanced rounds not in the game.
Strv got the L/44 yes
