I found this screenshot on the forum, idk which bug report its on. Sry
I guess I’m just curious as to what the developers lose by giving the SEPV3 the correct or more accurate armor? What is the cost of correctly or accurately modeling the more modern Abrams as intended? Is there money on the line?
I see you removed references to classified documents…
We all know gaijin uses them

Just a heads up, forum mods are cleaning up comments on this thread and forums in general which call out company’s behavior on this subject and game balancing in general. Third post of mine got deleted for “inappropriate content” where no content of such is.

it doesn’t matter since the aussie SEPv3 is still built to v3 standards and that includes the hull armor upgrade.
images of the weld line on US SEPv3’s exist its just easiest to see on that image
in theory in perfect world the ausie one would be worse thx to no DU armor.
The only problem is that the M829A3 is effective only against Kontakt-5, and they’ve practically separated BR 12.7 from tanks equipped with Kontakt-5.

the aussie V3’s armor is unique among v3’s with its bespoke package making it an even bigger guess than the US NEA package.
thanks to the aussies we know that the v3 atleast has DU in the turret and hull package

Well yea because the Leopard is the only tank in the game that has structural steel trunnions instead of actual armor

No Abrams offers 1000m of KE hull armor protection not even the cheeks do. In IRL I would assume around 600 to 650mm. based on added plates.
Dude when you write things lilke this, first tell me the materials that armor is made up of list all the composite materials then provide a formula for calculating the thickness of those materials then try and calculate SABOT rounds piericing it.

i don’t expect it to be more than 530 as i think the devs still want the Russian top round to pen it, id be shocked if it even got more than 50mm more armor.

Could be around that in game, we will see very soon.
yeah and that corelates with some of the secondary sources from the polish, and Korean or japanese test on the Abrams that say roughly like 600-680 mm ke hull and like 1000 mm turret on the m1a2’s
