“So we dont know and theres documents showing more armor but where just going to slightly buff it so you guys dont get mad”
Also gaijin, HO RI doesnt exist, double rack r-77, t80b thermals, bmp3 thermals etc. Several fictional items for balance reasons, yet gaijin requires the president and all of congress to give us the DU armor suite.
Then add at least one Abrams like that to the game
Good post. Thank you
Hey Smin, do you happen to have any new info regarding the dev’s plans with the SEPv3 turret add on armor plates? I was curious since they were still WiP on the dev.
The changes are still WIP whilst the devs continue to work on the Abrams. Hence why a final value was not listed within the blog.
Why post the blog when you have no info about the improvement ?
Also where is Trophy APS on sepv3?
The day in service V3 have Trophy fitted
Fort Benning probably
Because this was a huge subject to cover with a lot of other technical information beyond just the final value.
As well as to detail our ongoing plans.
However, can we assume, whichever the final value may be, that they will be abiding by the notion that “no tangible improvement was possible because there weren’t volume or enough of a mass change”?
This was a quoted part of the original post that shows the offending source and has since been removed so i have removed it from my reply
Hey so that is still classified (i would like to add that this isnt confirmation it remains classified and gaijin may have something saying its not but from my perspective it is still not legal)
So much about “we dont use classified” huh
Nice
I’d really like to understand how an ERA Relict element, with extremely thin and lightweight dimensions, offers 200mm of protection against kinetic weapons… the estimated weight of the Relict plates on the chassis alone is about 1 ton. But following the logic of this post, for the Americans to have increased effective armor against kinetic munitions, would a substantial increase in weight be necessary?
Following the physics logic of War Thunder, it would be unnecessary to spend the budget on extremely heavy and complex armor; simply stacking 4 Relict elements would provide 800mm of protection against kinetic munitions, without taking up much space and being lightweight… lol
MANPADS trickment
We wont
We have another information
We dont think so
We decided not to
It’s not black-and-white between the vehicle refusing to move and it running perfectly fine. We don’t know what the results of those weight tests were, how heavy the weights on the hull were, etc. Just because there’s a picture of it driving doesn’t mean the tests couldn’t have concluded that the weight was too excessive and would have damaged the suspension after a certain period of time.
This is not War thunder school
That’s mostly to do with how heavy ERA works, the armor the Abrams uses is different.
interesting
