Gaijin, like… come on, please fix the armor of the British Crusader tanks this major update, the ninth wave update, they need corrections, the armor on all Crusader tanks and variants is extremely inaccurate and incomplete. In a lot of areas the armor is way thinner than it should, and many plates of armor are missing, please fix the armor of the Crusader tanks, they’re in need of those fixes and it’s pending correction for such a long time.
This problem with their armor being extremely inaccurate is affecting all Crusader tanks, including Premium Productsthat players have to pay real money for, like the Crusader Mk. II “The Saint” from the British starter pack and the Crusader AA in the Echoes of Overlord pack! This issue needs to be addressed, even more since part of the vehicle’s affected are premium products, and the Crusader tanks are in need of this fix, something that could be easily fixed.
I can’t see a reason for not addressing this issue, since all crusader tanks share the same hull, and the Crusader II in the tech tree is the same tank as the Premium Crusader II (it just has a different camo).
I’ve convinced at least part of the reason why these reports are largely unaddressed is that there are so many culminating issues with British tanks that they would have to completely readjust whole portions of the TT if fixed. Some of the buffs they could get are pretty substantial.
And when I look up common misread information I get common misread information. The D didn’t exist with Nera it was a plan. Proposal for a later Strv 103 model, the model never came to fruition and often gets called a D model when that wasn’t the case, it’s a C wearing a proposed kit for a future model.
The real D model has a thermal sight it’s online and you can see what it looked like but that specific Strv 103 never mounted the planned NERA armor
If you want more specific info I’d ask some of the peeps over in the swedish vehicle forums, they would be able to help give a more in depth history for it.
Yes i understand that, and honestly i would be completely fine with that, for example, the mantlet on the Crusader Mk. II tanks their mantlet should have 63,5mm to 50.8mm of armor on the sides, and 76.2mm on the center, in War Thunder it’s currently only 30mm, like you said a really substantial difference.
But, the Crusader is supposed to be a really strong tank in a hull down position, which isn’t the case at all in War Thunder, even though it should be. But that alone isn’t really worth bumping the Crusader from 2.7 to a higher br, although it would be a extremely good change (and a needed one) for the tank. Even though it’s a very easy change… gaijin refuses to do it.
