Exactly. Different way of protection. That’s his point. Different type of armor. Not every type of armor has the same weight as steel has.
It was just the turret tbf.
Maybe not but that’s why we have subtrees these days.
No, Nato engineers still live in the 1930s and are just using cast and welded steel plates.
Only superior russian engineers have figured out composites.

Wow thats crazy first source for NGAP armor it literally is a light weight armor designed for future atgm’s and kinetic problems. Good on gaijin.

Hey, we really appreciate you, Gaijin. You did some actual research. But, it’s not very cool to use the dev’s idea and understanding of engineering, which could be uninformed or could even be biased (nothing related to Russians when I say that). Just because you (Gaijin) think that if there is more armor, there has to be a significant weight increase. As I said, using uninformed and unreliable understandings of these topics raises a lot of skepticism. You could also throw away the idea of “highly realistic” modeling since you have chosen to take this angle on the issue. At this point, just artificially balance the game. We shouldn’t have to suffer because of Gaijin’s uninformed and ineffective approach to problems.

The upper glacis of the T-80BVM is at 60.5 degrees.
The Abrams lower glacis is at 53–55 degrees from vertical.
The difference is 5–7 degrees. That is not much.

Devs and bug report managers are not the same people
Gajin working overtime to buff the Abrams armor as minimally as possible.

Yes, but it’s a bit unfair that devs can base their opinions on reasonable assumptions, while players are required to defend a dissertation on tank design in reports, with no guarantee that their reports will be accepted.

Honestly something like this would be enough armor upgrade to be useful but not to break the balance.
M1A1HC/A2 LFP= 380mm KE > 450/470 mm KE
M1A2 sep v3 LFP 380mm KE > 500/520mm KE
I really hope they don’t put 20 mm KE more of armor on the v3 and call it a day.

If you buff the armor of the HC you’ll have to place it at 12.7.

I’d suggest looking into how ERA works
It is at 68°.
Can he get anything right ?

i mean at 12.0 witch it currently sits with this change it will be vulnerable to all tier 4 modification rounds of its’ battle rating range (11.0/12.7) at most it will cover some of the stock rounds.
