Both the PSO and Chally BN are tech demos, yet they are in the tech tree

Yes for kinetic defense, but on TES you have a composite sandwich:
which from left to right is:
ASPRO-HMT(1200~ CE, 84mm KE) / Composite Screen (110MM KE) / AIRGAP (spaced armor effectively) / HULL (55mm~ KE)
You end up with ~250MM of kinetic defence on the side of your tank at completely 0 degrees. You’re impervious to anything that isn’t a main cannon and can survive anything HEAT related.
It should also be capable of defeating Tandem warheads, so even heli-launched missiles wont break through the sides.
Is it as good as Relikt or other Soviet ERA? Not for KE, but it would MASSIVELY improve TES’ survival rates

The problem is that Germany also got those as tech tree versions soon after.
The 4000 was one jet that was revised before being cancelled in favor of the Rafale.
I would take really good CE protection
i have no idea how they will handle it, might make an early and late version as well for all we now, we will see how it ends up
After all The Dorc 2H was made with CE in mind
100%, even 250MM of KE is nothing to laugh at
The TES should be an insanely capable tank but it’s currently modelled in the code as having the same ERA as the M60…
If it’s gonna be slowest mbt it should have the protection to go with it
It’s slowness is honestly insanely overplayed in War Thunder. The tank is still extremely fast for the absolute bunkers worth of ERA and armor that it carries on it. 60km/h fully loaded

What would be a real treat is if they added regenerative steering this update
A man can dream
2PL has improved breach so it could fire modern ammunition. Poland bought DM63 specifically for that
This is just never going to happen in game. The Mantlet is just the universal weakspot in game.
Fair enough if it weak spot for everyone but i would love the CE on the era to be higher as it should

Why are they still producing DM-23 and DM-33 ammunition in europa or Germany ???
Money.
It can get the best shell and best armour with competitive mobility. It’s not unkillable, because the weak spots aren’t suddenly solved
It will be a fun challenge to kill it
I’m waiting for the AMX-56 Leclerc to be available for 70 euros.
Spoiler
And if the LEP comes i hope it would have the same round as well
Gaijin is out there to earn money. And more modern vehicles just bring them more money than a lot of the things you mentioned, it’s unfortunate for some people obviously.
