Again Leopard 2s but I get your point the difference is though those rounds never penetrated they were just absorbed. In the rare occasion when Relikt is defeated it completely skews the round causing it to do less damage and thats not how Relikt should work.
Remember K5 is superior to Relikt the difference is K5 cannot be stacked but Relikt can.
Did you pull this off your rear? Destabilizing the round is it’s job

It is designed to stop the round if the round overmatches the armour the destabilising effect will not take effect to the level we have in game.
Some wobble sure rotating near 45 degrees is just fantasy. We also seem to have just universal angles. does not matter which oblique ERA is hit it gives maximum possible protection again something it should not do. Gaijin had ERA modelled fine with K1 and K5 then they added Relikt gave it some weird code and Tandem warhead munitions cannot defeat it and darts are absorbed.
It is not close to how we have all witnessed it’s lacklustre IRL performance.
Tandems dont work at all in this game, k1 and k5 can do the same shit just less often and so do fuel tanks
But they used to until Gaijin messed with the ERA code.
I was promptly killed by an SU-24 after taking this screenshot
I respawned in an ADATS - was then killed by an SU-30
I still think the main reason the win rates are so messed up atm is the BMPT, they’re such a distraction even if they’re not killing everything, that matches are constantly ending up like this

This is one of the main issues with the implementation of war thunder’s ERA.
From most scientific research articles there are two major factors that reduce the effectiveness.
Angle
Area away from center of ERA block
Neither seem to be implemented.

And which nation exclusively uses ERA because they need to supplement their 80s level armour arrays…
Yeah exactly
Western tanks are pretty much the exact same? They just use add on composite instead.

Round being skewed is called destabilization, and is what happened to the rounds in the videos. Since spalling is based on residual penetration, a destabilized round with less penetration will… do less damage…
It reduces the effectiveness of ERA in game. Easy to check with t-80u ufp.
No they upgrade the glacis plate and armour. T-90M and T-72B3 use a T-72 (89) as the base hull they then equip the Relikt ERA. As proven by destroyed T-90M tanks that have been inspected
My friend War Thunder is not a good source. War Thunder thinks the M1A2 never upgraded its hull armour with decades of service.
War Thunder select which parts of realism they like and as we have moved into current day they do not have accurate sources.
We have statements from MoD “CR2 additional side armour is immune to 30mm autocannons”
Gaijin give the armour 30mm kinetic protection…
unless those at 12.7 are completely different to those at ~10.0, DEFINITELY NOT X)
