Making Russian Tank Protection more realistic

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.

The plate that you can find on T-72A and T-80B

Which addresses ammo not in the carousel.
You’ll note staff never mentioned carousel ammo.

BTW, expert crews likely reduce chance of ammo detonation by a lot for all tanks.
Also dude calling me a troll for criticizing Soviet vehicles… lol

Update: Starting to play T-80 again to see how many people aim for ammo.
I say that cause only one person aimed for ammo so far & of course they killed me cause they aimed for my ammo.
Other people aimed for turret, UFP, etc, and I’m showcasing my entire tank to players.
No hill peaking, no meta Gran Turismo 5 racing lines using tanks. Intentionally reckless, always showing the whole tank, always showing side armor of some kind.

But we don’t even know for sure if that round penetrated and is what killed it. We just have a couple photos showing that hit on the front and nothing else to go off of. It could have been hit and killed by arty (as many have this war), by a drone (as many have in this war), or from an ATGM anywhere else. While it is obvious it was hit by an APFSDS round, we don’t know if that is what penetrated and killed the tank or not.

But are you actually criticising soviet equipment?Seems like you arent. You are just jumping between sides.
