Furthermore; the volumetric changes bring benefits (no more vulnerability to autocanons), but also disadvantages.
Now, the DRIVER HATCH has become vulnerable to main gun fire, as it’s no longer flat like the UFP, but instead protudes vertically.
So anti-Abrams people have even less of a reason to complain about “only the whole center of mass being pennable instead of the entirety of the hull”.
Even if the LFP was 6,000mm KE, the entire mantlet, the entire turret neck and now even the driver hatch would still be weakspots- weakspots much harder to hide than any LFP, so… yeah, there’s that.
Hahaha I knew this is going to happen if they opted to increase the hull armor.
People will start to demand X amounts of protection based on hopes and dreams.
Official U.S. Army technical manuals do not contain a specific sentence stating a 7,000 lb load ruins the suspension over 3 months, but they provide technical data requiring the removal of plow systems during storage and mandate hull clearance inspections for torsion bar permanent set. The operator’s manual (TM 9-2590-509-10) dictates that plows must be removed for long-term storage to prevent structural strain. The maintenance manual (TM 9-2350-255-20-1-3-4) confirms that sagging, which can be accelerated by constant heavy front loading, is the criteria for replacing suspension components.Also I don’t think I’m allowed to post that.
Hahahahah I remember when I made this one, it was like 2021.
Some things have changed ever since. Back then, Strv 122’s UFP was bugged and cluld be sliced through like a hot knife through butter and was armed only with DM33. Now that it has slurrp m/95 and fixed UFP… it no longer applies xD
I am now going to make a similar version, except with a potentially fixed SEPv3, thanks for reminding it to me! :P
Agreed there. Perhaps I worded it poorly. While the force applied during driving on rough terrain, for example, is intermittent instead of constant, that force is also significantly higher while applied. My point there was that if it can take that intermittent but much higher force without concern, there’s not much reason to assume with no backing evidence it cannot handle a couple tons on the LFP.
BUT IF it’s 500, YOU’RE ARGUING AND CRITICISING the game over something that won’t change a thing, because it’ll still be useless in the top tier, Given that it has already been stated that it will be increased
I have wanted about 500-520ish mm vs KE on the LFP from the moment the dev server went live. I hope they go at least for that. It would be a sweetspot for balance as well.
(I’m going to enjoy this tank so freaking much, haven’t been this hyped for a top tier ground vehicle since the air superiority update)
If you can quote it, you can post it. Check the front page of the manual for its classification status, assuming you have it on hand (you don’t, but you can probably google it realistically)
