isn’t supposed to be semi hollow to act as spaced armor?
No. It can stop an RPG at minimum, which means it should be over 440mm CE effective.
dude, I don’t think this IFV has 61 tons of air.
Surely it has air chambers internally, but not everything there is air.
I mean, it’s not even modeled as spaced armor.

so filled with composite then?
ah, that wasn’t what i meant, i thought maybe just in the door that it would be spaced armor as it would need to be light enough for the hydraulics to manage no? i don’t know much of the composition of the vehicle but i agree that it probably doesn’t use that much spaced armor.

More than likely. It was designed for tandem hits everywhere.
Well, one of the characteristics of composite armor is that it must be strong and not so heavy (relative to conventional armor from the mid-20th century).
Judging by the thickness of the door, it is definitely composite armor.
Namer’s Rear Door is not 30mm thick. Visually Identifiable. // Gaijin.net // Issues
I’ve made a bug report on the Namer’s Door.

its because they added all that armor in the hull and side but gaijin wont add it because ‘balance’ as they say
Then the game should stop being called “Realistic”.

Yeah, I pointed out that it’s hollow, which is obviously incorrect.

i would be happy if they just copy the same stats as from merkava 4, i dont want more
I want more because the Merkava is paper. If this game is to be called “Realistic”, this APC should be the most protected vehicle in the game.

Both should be extremely well protected anyway…
With modifiers similar to CR2’s, Merkava’s turret cheeks would be nearly immune, and its hull would uffer more than 500mm KE (not counting powerplant and bulkhead).
Right now it just has a lower multiplier than most composites ingame. barely on par with M1’s.

They should also buff Composite “Screens” on the Merkava Series.
I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t look like a Composite “Screen”

Does someone has the book Namer Heavy IFV. Namer IFV in IDF Service from Mass, Michael/O’Brien, Adam?
Oh, it’s a composite screen…
The issue is composite screens are heavy multi-layered armor modules specifically designed to withstand contemporary threats, while, in Gaijin’s eyes, they seem to be hollow tinfoil cases xD
Those 95mm thick side skirts, for example, only provide 23mm against KE in War Thunder.
That means those side skirts are supposedly made of something 0.24 times as strong as RHA.
For reference, that’s as strong as rubber-fabric ingame.
And just like that… most if not all composite screens, and many composite modules.
