It doesn’t have its specific type of composite modeled so the armor is underperforming by a fair bit. It’s unfortunate but that is what this thread is supposed to talk about. Not that it seems to me that there has been much headway made on that topic recently. I don’t recall that gaijin has even mentioned the possibility of slera to be modeled.
SLERA in game isn’t at all modeled?
No, it is modeled as simple external composite armor with NERA elements, which is categorically wrong. As far as i recall gaijin do not feel they have enough info to model it to a satisfactory degree, not that that has stopped them before except in cases where they really just don’t want to.
Well, do you think they should model SLERA and the catastrophic aftermath (which would kinda look cool ngl), or just make the KE modifiers higher? Bc if the first thing will it fall off sooner than the Leopard 2A5 arrowheads? If so that can reduce survivability but it can mean you can tank hits better.
Although I do tank quite a few hits (in the mk4 the mk3 not so much seeing as how much closer the composite parts are with the capsule) being the crew and actually crew compartment being overall small. It would be interesting if you had better protection but later in the match sections get frayed or fall off. It would look cool ngl.
Well that depends on how lazy they are really. The armor is segmented so that if one section is hit it doesn’t compromise the effectiveness of the entire block. So they could model it as normal NERA with a greater modifier or they could go the extra mile and model the further complexities of armor degradation. Even then some armor parts already fall of so not much would change I imagine.
Wait the cheeks do fall off? I never survive long enough or get hit enough times in the right places to ever see that I guess…
It indeed does

I’ve also seen a Merkava mkIV get ammo racked and burn out like a T-series tank.
I didn’t claim anyone as racist. learn to read.
as Is always the case with Gaijin
First time I’ve seen that panel eject!
Defends guy calling random forum poster racist
“I didn’t call anyone racist”
continues to spam my DM with deranged messages angrily trying to force the justification for calling him racist
“I want to take this to the DMs and not derail the thread”
continues to go back and forth about it like a kid who can’t accept that it’s time to leave the playground, derailing the thread I kept telling him to leave alone
Wowza
In game? Wym?
How is correcting the other person as well defending them.
You’ve consistently brought tbis back here which if you had a modicum of understanding of tbe forum know why i took it to DMs.
Lastly, nothing I’ve said is “deranged” i bullet pointed and numbered for you exactly what I have done.
And you’re the dumbass talking about peoples favourite youtubers political views. Or saying what has been written is chatgpt…
If anything you are the deranged one.
Such as saying definitions from oxford are fake
Which is just insane.
Now either talk about the merkava here or stfu
Imagine repeating what I’ve been trying to tell you 10 post later to fix the optics on your end. Yikes. Just stop annoying people on this thread with bs is all I asked and it makes you so mad that no one else jumping the gun like you two did. I’ve been talking about the Merkava more than you so you should take my advice first and foremost.
Stop sending deranged messages acting like a loon. I genuinely don’t care. Most of the stuff you said you can handle in therapy with your provided therapist. Literally. You don’t even stick to the definitions you give, you omit the truth, shift the goal post to seem less insane, then continue to talk about the same topic you pretend to want to get away from.
The other guy has LEFT you alone long ago you posted 3 more times elsewhere, I asked you to literally go your own way and you’re still at it lol.
if you are talking about the drone strike,
the blowout panel clearly worked, and is easily identifiable
What’s he referring too? I’m lost lol.
Na, that was war footage Gaza.
No, I’m talking about the footage of a tank man jumping out of tank and the fire coming out of the hatch.
share it, i dont recall
I’ll keep looking but it probably got censored.
It was high resolution from October 7th attack.
