You can give the bug report a little push here, since this could be a big issue if the same problem exists even for the new variants. Apparently it’s a known issue.

This has to be intentional, how did they remove the anti ERA tip from the dev to the live server XD!
Yes, they’re intentionally pushing half baked updates to live.
They even carry on bugs that they made in the dev server and were reported

Hmmmm, an advantage of thinner bulkheads is that they may not generate spalling.
However I believe the maximum thickness for that is 6mm, so 9mm would still generate spall.
I’m about to get home, so I will be able to check.

Based on the following report
M1 Abrams (All Variants) Incorrect Special Side Armor
The Special Side skirts are still wrong, should be ~ a 32.5mm Strikeface (?HH-?)RHA plate +and a 32.5mm section of 2x composite Tri-plate assembies as shown in the X-Ray module.
Not the 65mm RHA they are currently after the change.
In short they should be slightly more effective than they are against KE, and significantly better against CE than RHA, with similar performance to the baseline M1’s NERA arrays(relative to the thickness of the elements).

So it’s pretty good at the moment, especially against autocannons.
I’m just making the point its not final. And knowing Gaijin they may well cut the protective qualities significantly, since half the thickness isn’t RHA.
so it went up 2%? nd that is it?
Very underhanded of gaijin to “increase protection” while cutting the KE/CE multipliers and making the internal bulkhead almost non existent.

No, it went up to 440mm KE which is a 16% increase
yeah? the composite effectiveness against ke went up by 2% from 48% to 50%?

doesnt matter, its volumetric now

USA saves weight by switching out the hydraulic systems for electric drives, ditching several systems for lighter newer ones, and replacing steel road wheels for aluminum ones etc etc. But whatever I go cry in corner and this what gajin gives us when a new model tries to save weight, then proceeds to blame weight for no armor increase

yup, btw the t-64b went up two tons from the t-64a with new computers fcs and everything and the KE protection basically doubles within a lower time gap and without the material tecnology

means literally nothing for the lfp lmao?

And whats the result of the community action? Is the Sepv3 improved or is the whole frontal array still butter to 3bm60?
