They don’t model ERA (Kontact 5, and Relikt) are not modeled right either, their irl values are higher than in game. So technically it’s modeled without being modeled.
ERA values are less, thus it pretty much means the penetrator is there for all vehicles vs ERA.
The IRL values are lower, and certain in-game rounds (DM53 and M829A2) underperform against at least K5). I was just wondering if the models of the APFSDS in game actually include the anti-ERA tips, since if they don’t the trailer could hit at anti-ERA tips being modeled.
yeah i like the part where they changed the angle the t90 fired back at the abrams because the shot they initially showed would be impossible and the apache flaring the strela? L O L
Dude you are over thinking it.
It’s a trailer. If your that hell bent about it, why didn’t the T90 shoot first? It clearly saw the abrams before the abrams saw it.
If it hit the strongest part of the turret armour, then yeah it would stop it from penetrating.
I’m fairly sure a shot to the turret ring would cripple an abrams. Despite it being weaker/larger than IRL it still is theoretically a place you can penetrate with modern APFSDS.
In reality it’d be virtually impossible as with 125mm APFSDS penetrators you’d have to aim within ~5mm in order to actually hit the turret ring. What they showed in the trailer was a shot from below, with the SEP’s barrel aimed slightly upwards for some reason, and the gap that the T-90M had to aim for was still likely at most a few inches tall.
War Thunder is really has been improving on their updates and trailers for every new season. I really would love for them to keep up their great work! They probably own the best game I’ve ever played in my life. Great Work to Gaijin Entertainment and to their staff!
