Namer armor

At the moment there are quite a lot of bugs when it comes to losing the tank, just from destroying the ammunition to overpressure on the side where the cameras are with a 35mm HE, the hull should at least have the same values ​​as the Mk4…

They have nothing special going for them aside for like reverse speed. Being the best protected MBTs would actually make them special and unique from all the other MBTs

They move around pretty well, but the armor sucks.


3rd game. feels good man :)

1000mm of protection against HEAT warheads is wrong?

He said:

And he is right, the sides of the Namer are pretty much empty… seems wrong

Insert Namer here

Don’t bother with him. I blocked him long ago for saying insane shit and stalking my posts.



I’m a bit surprised, but I suppose I’ve gotten nukes in the Gepard even at 11.7, so it’s not impossible. I’m still grinding mine.

But yeah, the sides are wrong. I showed some images that point to the sides being hollow on the model for no reason.


As seen here, you can tell that the upper sides are missing some armor since it’s hollow between the external NERA and the 50mm internal plate. There’s around 400mm LOS or so of angled composite missing.

I don’t have real data on the armor, but with 60+ tons (without turret) it should be much more protected on the sides. Furthermore, on the sides the armor has a good angle of inclination so it should be even much stronger. Gaijin should definitely fix this thing and raise it to 11 or 11.3, since Israel doesn’t have a damn 10.3 lineup and Chaparral sucks.

it should have the same armor or more than the mark 4 irl (which is lacking a lot in game ;-;)

That is ground testing not what you going to have in the game but yeah, spike tracking is suck

I mean… if they are useless under the perfect conditions of the test drive, are they really going to be any better in actual gameplay? xD

those is my replay and it is what i think close to what the game will be.

Interesting! But… this didn’t sell Spikes to me entirely, hahah.

Only 2 kills from 8 launches; a Leopard 2A4 and a TURMS.

I mean, I guess that means there’s… 25% chance that you may get a kill, hahah. Which is not really great.

Besides, my intention was to use Namer on the 11.7 lineup, so I won’t be coming across Leopard 2A4s or TURMSs, so I think I’ll pass.

I am still going to grind it, just in case Spikes or/and its armor are improved at some point, but… I am in no rush for now, hahah.

well it is because i play in a bad way. i just see someone got a nuke by playing only namer
