This shell is not only broken in the balance sense, but is literally broken in its overpressure.

I think it is alright since it’s not a ru vehicles.
BEA1 has a nearly 60mm HE pen ,i found armor less than 50mm in most of your examples unless the merkawa.And maus has a bugged overpressure model. So i think most of your examples are not a bug
The 279 is designed to withstand Nuclear Blast pressure.
The T95 gets overpressured from the rear sides, where it isn’t vulnerable, plus the Tracks and suspension should eat the blast otherwise.
If this is “intended”, which would be insanity, this vehicle needs to go up in BR by a lot.

Doesn’t mean that it would work as designed, and certainly doesn’t mean that it is going to work like that in a game. 279’s model is also likely bugged as there was a report several months ago about it being vulnerable to explosives that it should shrug off with ease.
Nuclear fallout* not the actual blast of a nuclear bomb. The crew would be disintegrated.

I didn’t say “eat the bomb”, I said “blast pressure”.
Nuclear bombs release powerful waves that travel long distances, and the 279’s unique design reflects that it was intended to resist those waves, not the bomb itself. Most modern tanks are also designed to be nuclear-resistant to fallout radiation as part of their NBC kits, but do not share the unique design of the Object 279.
Gaijin’s Wiki page even states this.
Please do not miscorrect people.
It’s a bug with SAP in general.
From what I can tell, when sap with enough he filler to overpressure hits a tank it will use the KE pen for the overpressure pen.
You can see this with other SAP rounds like that on the XM247. With the XM247 in particular it’s not that prominent because there just isn’t a lot of KE pen to begin with. But given the XM247’s SAP round only has 4mm of explosive pen, it still sometimes takes effect.
I’m gonna record a vid rq to showcase this.
Idk why it looks soo weird but you get the point
You do realise a nuclear blast shockwave is quite different than a localised explosion on the side of the tank?
When did I say the 279 could take the nuclear explosion?
Once again, I stated “Blast Wave”, which is distinctly separate from the bomb’s blast itself. A bomb releases a wave that is separate from the bomb’s explosion, and this is what the 279 was designed to withstand.
Yeah that separate wave is still completely different to an explosion occuring on the tank itself so my point stands.
I never said you stated anything.
Then why reply stating I’m wrong if I never said explosion?
Because you seem to lack reading comprehension. I said nuclear blast shockwave. Whoch is not the nuclear blast itself. You can go check my comment.
Reading comprehension, huh?
I think mine is fine.
From a bomb/big HE yes.
In response to my statement about a nuclear blast wave, you said, “not a localized explosion on the side of the tank”. When was a conventional bomb ever brought up?
Clearly showing your lack of comprehension again. A big round hitting a tank is a localised explosion. It’s literally (in the case of the PLZ05) almost 8kg of TNT detonating on the armour itself.
Sure man. It’s the “bomb”-like explosion of the shell that doesn’t seem to work with any HE.
Did it ever occur to you that it is more likely to just be bugged, like how Israeli HE was when it had SAP characteristics? Furthermore, how do you assume an 8kg explosive should act this way when neither bombs nor the 20kg+ HESH shell off the FV4005 does?
Did I ever state it’s not bugged? What the hell are you even on mate? We were talking about semantics and nuclear shockwaves. I never said the shell is not overperforming. I am done with this thread anyway since you seem to just be out for blood. Make a bug report and be done with it.
