The anger is about the addon armour. Everybody knew the base armour would be the same as the 2A4 because it is a 2A4.
The fact that the arrowheads are RHA and aren’t composite is the problem. If there was composite BEHIND the RHA then people wouldn’t be so mad and felt they were cheated especially when every other Leo 2 (that has arrowheads) uses composite instead of RHA.
This image quite literally proves that while yes it is RHA, composite inserts are used in operations, but are left out for training and field exercises. This is fine but the tank in-game is supposed to be the 2A4M used in Afghanistan operations which would have had their composites inserts, if this was instead the field exercise/training variant than I would be much more understanding.
How good is the current ingame protection in comparison to 2A7V? Maybe I’m bad @ armor viewer…but it looks far better imho!!! (against russian top darts, not the 600++ mm pen ones…).
I have seen no indication that they exist outaide of an older document which mentions them. The mounts arent common and i havent seen reference to additional composites in the manual.
It does have a set of spall liners. All located in the turret. Commander and loader side walls and in front of the gunner. Gaijin was provided better inages of the SL and still denied adding them to the vehicle.
Any chance you could post them here? Or DM me them? I have made over 100 reports including for the C2 MEXAS spall liner, so I understand quite well how to make successful reports.
Problem was the reports were made by a tsnker itself specialy for those reports.
Becsause of that and him uploading it to a kind of blog website. The pictures were stated as kot reliable enough
They talked about how a 2A4M crewman was not a repiable source then neglected the images attached on that basis. It just seems like they are being lazy.
I did buy it. Im very biased since I used to drive the thing so take what i say with a grain of salt. Generally im happy with the implementation minus a few things.
The visual model is incomplete. The upgraded suspension gaijin mentioned in the devblog was not modeled.
