Gotta love throwing a round clean through the road hweel of a T90M, up at an angle as he’s uphill from me through the ammo and crew compartment, and him still being able to fire back

OH and Im also thinking of buying the Subaise - that seems to be the one Warthunder uis backing at the moment with its rediculous OPness and Survivability!!! FRENCH¬!!! Who knew.¬!! BUY YOUR WINS!"
90% of low tier USSR props are balanced around “poor altitude performance” Yet ARB will never see daily battles above 5km.
Let’s not talk about the ShVAK or B20 for now, since the downside they had were removed over time.

Am I right in thinking this can’t be used as evidence for a bug report due to it being from a datamine?

correct

and wrong for thinking this is a bug
I suppose because if the AA missile was to impact it would crush its payload and the force would not be represented as you see in game.
These missiles explode and shower shrapnel they are not direct fire missiles.
Not really we have physical evidence of T series tanks being stealth buffed. This just confirms it go back and watch how often the T-80B and U used to pop when they were penetrated Youtube is wonderful for seeing how certain vehicles have been buffed.

Used to be way worse we used to spawn on small Russian airfields and there was no time to side clime. They made it so your 109 had to face their Yaks and Las at low altitude.
You never got an airspawn against Russia
You mean Mozdok (Frontline) before airspawns?
Where both airfields were at maximum 10km apart and facing each other?

Could have been, remember the misery of flying a 190A at low altitude with lower energy

The amount of effort it takes to take out a nato tank vs a Russian tank is not even comparable. A rough side shot would take out the turret drive and make the tank obsolete vs you either hit the ammo or you are fked.

Armour parts not being displayed to the user that are present, along with parts not spalling, seems pretty buggy to me
“buggy” the same way YouTube does not load with adblock

Reddit poster discovers spall liners. In other news, fork found in kitchen.
This is not a “bug”. You simply cant see these armor plates in regular armor view because they are inside the tank, hidden behind the external armor.
Many tanks have some kind internal protection for crew and systems. Kevlar spall liners, basic internal steel plates, etc. This isnt “russian bias”, this is basic tank design - usually you want to protect the more vulnerable parts inside the tank from spall (i.e ammo racks, turret drives, etc.)
For example, in the image I attached, you can see the the “hidden” internal plate inside the Abrams that protects the turret hydraulics unit, captured using that same Nvidia Ansel trick shown in your pictures. This is just one of many examples of internal “hidden” armor on tanks, there is many more on all kinds of tanks, both NATO and WTO tanks.

Yeah against flying targets they are not.
But thing is, it also has backup fuze, like many other modern AA missiles. So if that proximity fuze fails, it got impact fuze also as back up.
So it explodes on direct hit not airburst infront of tank, and seriously why whould it not overpressure tank ingame, when even 200g of explosive can do it?
