They will. Swedish strv 122 has a better front plate and that’s it.
Still gets beautifully spalled and quacked from the side and destroyed like any other German tank. Or any other tank for that matter that isn’t Russian.
They have shit SPAA like all other nations, bad CAS, bad helicopters, and have only good tanks going on for them… still less good mbt’s than Russia.
Russia has something like 5,6 of those no-spall bullshit MBTs with good frontal plates.
Unbearable CAS and monstrously buffed helicopters.
So it’s not like they are right behind Russia in terms of Top-tier capability.
I just hate when people bring up Sweden because Russian mains whine that they can’t kill something when they just aim toward it without thinking where to shoot.
Everybody gets their #### handled by Russia at the top tier and that’s a fact.
Every game I play 19/20 games we get mauled no matter what you do.
T-90A is the worst tank I’ve used, and I know it’s also probably under-BR’d, but I have far more fun in IPM1 than I’ll ever have in T-90A.
All the worst aspects of T-72 without the fun of T-72B3.
Of course, I get ammo racked almost exclusively on T-series tanks, as I expect to. Not a complaint, cause it’s real.
Just as I ammo rack every T-series tank I come across.
6/10 times i dont get ammo rack while im using my T-80’s even tho people shoots at my lfp, my side armor or my ammo carousel directly.
Not mention i can show dozens of footage from YouTube where shell simply penetrates ammo carousel,hits penetrator chargers but nothing happens in return.
M829A2 defeats
795mm LOS of steel along 68 degrees at point blank range.
753mm LOS of steel along 68 degrees at 2km
704mm LOS of steel along 68 degrees at 4km
645mm LOS of steel along 68 degrees at 6km
According to my estimations, T-90A upper plate is rated 685mm LOS of steel equivalent along 68 degrees. Nii Stali claims 6km but at 6km the shell drop angle would reduce the effective angle of T-90A upper plate so the 645 LOS should be just enough
But in our wonderful bias free game called War Thunder, M829A2 can’t penetrate the weaker T-80U upper plate at point blank range. It’s magic I know LOL
Yeah, I definitely prefer the mobility of the western vehicles. (But I’d be lying of the T-Series profile didn’t look sexy in its own way.)
The way they’re built, just about any penetrating shot towards the center of the tank should ammo rack them.
(They don’t always in this game unfortunately, conversely it works like armor…)
Those additional steel plates are not actually used for armor they are there to simulate weight for the new armor package that sepv3 received. Also, I have no idea how Gaijin is going to model it because if Sepv1 is an issue for them regarding proper information Sepv3 armor is even more classified. Hopefully, they don’t gimp it and leave it with base m1 hull armor again.
Hit it in the engine… damage the tail. I guess I went through the engine to damage the tail? And the engine is entirely untouched.
(This is the server replay btw… if you wanna catch this particular moment and look at Russian Bias in ALLLLL of its carrying glory… it’s right here, at 2:02.553- Fields of Poland with me in it.)
It is excessively difficult to follow the “don’t insult the devs” rule right now.
And with that- I think ima be done for a little while.
I don’t know what substances you’re using… but for the sake of amusement, can you explain to me how that shot didn’t:
Kill the crew with Shrapnel
Kill the crew with Overpressure
Destroy the engine it hit directly, let alone not damage it
Break the helicopter into at least 2 pieces
What kind of “simplified damage model” doesn’t damage a light skinned vehicle with a Direct HE hit???
You can’t even see the pilot because the point of detonation on next to his right ear- but somehow… not damaged.
I had to shoot this damned thing down by killing the pilot with AA .50cal
Rotorblades I at least understand to a degree and every vehicle gets that.
But direct HE hit is not something an Apache (or any other helo) survives. Hell the Apache just has a SAM detonate within earshot and an engine goes offline…
(Psst: They do this exact same concept on the ground vehicles too… with crew hiding behind the AMMO CHARGES of the carousel… because they pumped their module health to stupid amounts in order to protect other things.)
