Making Russian Tank Protection more realistic

So 0 degrees is considered a straight line, just like 90 degrees. The calculation of penetration is just calculated from the location of, for example, the upper frontal part of 68 degrees, respectively, it cannot have the same values as at 0.

No need to, I also already play the game before.
Also the old forum is gone cause its architecture was bad compared to this one, that’s it.
No grand conspiracy.

the architecture of this here is bad the old one was structured fine

No, what is wild is the massive amounts of copium you’re delivering.

That’s a Russian tank that was destroyed in Ukraine. It’s one of many thousand. Deal with it.

Essentially the issue here is

T-72B hull composite is 215mm thick and sloped at 68 degrees
The hull array in total is 574mm LOS in total thickness

You need 530mm at 0 degrees with APFSDS to penetrate T-72B hull without Kontakt-5 ERA in WT as of right now for years now…
The thing is, when APFSDS defeats
530mm at 0 degrees
It penetrates
247mm at 68 degrees - 660mm LOS

At 68 degrees the APFSDS defeats 660mm LOS since it normalises vs sloped armour.

So essentially, currently in game the base hull of T-72B which is 574mm LOS of composite offers 660mm LOS of steel equivalent protection which is impossible and not even feasible.

No APFSDS round is incorrect.
Abrams has its correct 680mm, and so forth.
You can see all the data on a post I made under The Academy The comprehensive APFSDS penetration datasheet

That includes all in-game data for penetration at 2000 meters.

So there will be intelligible proof? Or a couple of photos is your bet?

Calculation:

50 + 35 + 50 + 35 + 50 = 220*68/100 = 150
220+150 = 370+250 = 620 - Upper frontal protection at 68 degrees and 0 degrees heading

you lost me, plus we are only doing the base hull, no ERA included

You’re the type of person who could see a video of the tank being blown up by the Ukrainian army and you would say that it was fake/staged.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t force it to drink.

An interesting idea, but no, I don’t belong to them, I see a mismatch of facts, this already speaks of deception. If you don’t care about it, it’s your right, as they say, it’s not for me to discuss it, everyone has their own head on their shoulders)

In this case, it will be 370 mm, if without dynamic protection, at 68 degrees and 0

T-80BVM without ERA

220mm thick composite at 68 degrees - 587mm LOS
188.4mm effective steel protection at 68 degrees - 503mm LOS

When APFSDS defeats 404mm at 0 degrees, it penetrates 188.4mm at 68 degrees

Can you calculate in the comment how you get 587? Because I get 370

220mm / Cosine (68 degrees)
Thats 587mm line of sight

100mm / Cosine (60 degrees)
Thats 200mm line of sight (T-54 / T-55)

Alternatively you can use this

90 degrees sine = 0 degrees cosine
60 degrees sine = 30 degrees cosine
30 degrees sine = 60 degrees cosine

Seriously you are showing made up tank stats by gaijn as an argument, seriously wow

you do realise that 370mm of armour at 68 degrees would be nearly 1000mm LOS?

Heres the screenshot of the mod stating it as a fact to close a bug report.

(im not gonna comment on the quality of the bug report itself)

Some Soviet tanks stored extra ammo in fuel tanks. The carousel is not in a fuel tank. Yeah, sometimes the mods are difficult to work with.
