alright ivan go back to bed now

You don’t get it, the kinetic penetrators are covered in a special chemical that dissolves the composite

It’s funny how, in War Thunder, T-72A 1983 literally has better armor than M1A2 SEPv2 2008 xD

M1, IPM1, M1A1, M1A1 HC and M1A2 are correctly depicted in War Thunder;

Issue comes with M1A2 SEP, M1A2 SEPv2 and M1A1 AIM.

That’s not a 2A7A1. It looks like a 2A4 upgrade kit proposal.

If you mean direct ones from the gaijin team, there 's this from Smin on how next-gen IR missiles will come over the longer term( which is to say, probably not in the next couple updates but definitely rather than never ):

@Smin1080p_WT will we see additions of any new top tier IR missiles?
There won’t be any major developments anytime soon. But at some stage, yes.

Someone was doing translations of Bvvd 's comments in one of the earlier parts of the thread, but there 's too much uncleaned slop for me to find them quickly - I’ll @mention you if I can find them anyway.

The values in game are well within reason. Naturally not everything will be 100% accurate due to classified docs and such.

Will you guys be addressing the armor issues of the TKX and Type 10?

Here’s my Reddit page that goes into detail on what to do about it

They use their own armor values that they got from some internally developed calculator system

Chances are they already know about these “inconsistencies” and simply choose to ignore them for “balance reasons”

That’s literally a photo of one of the 2A7A1s the Bundeswehr got end of last/beginning of this year

F/A-18C MLU 2

  • The early 4th generation targeting pod for F/A-18C Late and Rafale

  • The early 3rd gen targeting pod for 3 american aircraft rank VII ~ VIII and Belgian F-16AM MLU

  • AIM-9M late block for F-14B, F-15C, F-15E and F-16C Block 50

Not possible we wait the early 5th gen infrared Air-to-Air Missile until Q2 or Q3 2026 because the early 5th gen infrared Air-to-Air Missile from USA and russia without datalink & LOAL

Absolutely worst case is someone will take out the basket and the engine at the same time with no allies nearby.
Outside that… same nonsense as before, retreat when something’s damaged that’s not engine/trans.

Yeah. The tank’s interior is so incredibly cramped, and the turret ring so exposed and vulnerable, that the basket really won’t change at all. If anyhting, hopefully, may eat some spall if they polished it (hopefully).
