Namer armor

Despite 6 months passing and photo evidence, the Namer (both old and new) still lacks its internal side composite - Machinery of War Discussion / Ground Vehicle - War Thunder — official forum

For those still invested, I have made a new Forum Post addressing the new Namer. I appreciate everyone for helping bring this issue to light.

@Smin1080p_WT I made an engine report for Namer. Can you forward it to the development team for me?

I don’t believe this related to the namer variants we have ingame, only the APC variants. Just saying “I believe it should have this engine” isn’t enough for gaijin. Unless you submitted hidden sources I can’t see, then sadly this isn’t a viable bug report.

To be precise, the game already has at least one APC version of Namer, but it uses a remote control weapon station called RCWS30.
Moreover, there is still no Namer-IFV in service in IDF because they are still being tested. According to DSCA documents, the purpose of purchasing engines is to upgrade the Namer-APC, which has been in service since 2008. Obviously, Israelis know that Namer’s mobility is not very good, and Namer-IFV is modified from Namer-APC, so it is not difficult to achieve that the IFV version will use a better engine.

Again there is no direct proof this engine was ever installed on the Namer-IFV Testbed we have ingame. Unless you can prove otherwise, gaijin won’t accept your report. You say the engine was purchased in 2019 yes, is there any direct proof of the exact model of Namer-APC is was sourced from and if that Namer even underwent any engine transplant? If you can’t find info suggesting this, I don’t think we can expect any changes in the future.

Here to remind Gaijin these exist :)

im not 100% sure what armor do they use if SLERA or NERA but the array seems to be made specifically to be in a sharp angle to use as much of the ERA effect as possible on incomming projectiles, aka its hollow

Should be thicker, knowing how Raphael’s armor patents work.

The Namer in the back shows how much should be hollow and how much should be armor, it’s definitely much more substance than the actually hollow wedges on the front of a Leopard 2A5.
