That would explain why they’re still less effective than front mounted ERA post “buff” [fix].
Either way, glad T-series enjoyers will see a fix to their side ERA protection; didn’t think Gaijin would get around to it seeing how long they take to deal with armor bugs/inaccuracies in general.
man so u opinion this hangar penetration is correct? for example bmpt have 75 mm protection is side but in mach eat the challanger 2 apfsds “penetration possible” this what mean penetrate the nera?:D in this test shot simulation way diferent than in maches… same in replay penetration shots in reaplay completly diferent but ok
yeah side ERA really underperform ap in every mach have these shots when shot bmpt is side … completly eated the projectile only spalling from nera remain… but this not enought to penetrate side armor…
I have not seen that exact shot in practice result in a bounce.
& as @Nowel 's post shows, the “buff” [a fix to errors] is improved angling for what seems to be the side mounted armor to fix erroneously underperforming angles of Relikt.
That bounced from hitting overlapping plates behind the ERA, as the protection analysis shows it easily penetrating the ERA & even some armor, disproving your post’s claim it was the ERA when it was the armor behind & a different shot as well.
bounce in this angle? is a joke no?
The bouncing is maybe a joke, maybe not.
I know there’s overlapping plate hell on the upper half of BMPTs similar to Challenger 2s.
I really think it’s illuminating that only Russia and Russians consider Relikt to be a good system. Combat has shown it does not hold being defeated by threats it is designed to counter.

When it’s all you’ve got - and you REALLY REALLY need to flog it to anyone with enough currency - of course you’re going to say it’s super-duper-brilliant!
‘Introducing the new 3rd Gen ERA - RELIKT - it’s a bit pants when people actually shoot back.’ Isn’t really a good marketing tagline is it?

Do you think they will ever remove the black hole that lets shells kill the driver and the engine but ignore the carousel…
Remember when this game wasn’t pure Russian cope…I miss those days, hopefully when Vlad is done with his pointless holiday. Russian mains egos wont need to overinflate every single ability their kit has.
Oh did Gaijin ever prove why T-80s got a 5 second reload?

Well no t80 have a 5s reload…
6 seconds
they did
They buffed it because Russian tanks “needed” help nothing to with realism, or we would have differing rates depending on where the rounds are in the carousel which is why we can have videos of a T-90M shooting every 8-9 seconds. They took ideal circumstances.

I haven’t seen UFP Relikt tank wrecks.
The only one I remember is when a T-80 got penned by a round that missed the ERA.
That and Germany’s own military says DM53 cannot deal with Relikt equipped T-series tanks effectively from the front aspect.
Yeah, and who’s bringing 3BM42 or 46 into top BR?
Yep, from 2012 to today.
From 2019 to today, USA has had the best top end ground lineups.
Before 2019 I never looked at the top end, so I can’t comment.
Also documents prove that 6 seconds is the reload time for next-round loads, which is why 3BM60 is 6.5 seconds as it needs to skip over a round.
All autoloaded tanks in War Thunder are reloading from ideal conditions, with Soviets being the last to be upgraded to that standard.
You can even argue all tanks in War Thunder are.
We dont have any way to assign the order of amunition so this point is completely irrelevant, not to mention that on actual combat conditions there is more than just the pure reload rate which will increase the rate of fire. They did prove that the autoloader can reload in 6s which is what you ask, with multiple primary sources.
And we’d have tanks with a manual loader take like 20-30s to reload on tanks with only 2 crew left.

I don’t think there is Russian bias.
Consider the MiG-29 with its horrible airframe and RWR at 12.7; It’s a 12.0 jet disguised as a 12.7 and has even less SARHs than F-4S.
It can’t even maintain the operational tempo necessary to fight in a prolonged match due to low fuel and only 2 SARHs, the R-60MK sucks.
You would base bomb with SR-71 if you could and base your opinion of its performance on how wel does it base bomb.
Shut the hell up, your opinions are not only unwanted but they are outright harmful, if not pure ragebait.

I am starting to think people that think there is no Russian bias are the same people that think the bmpt should be 10.3
Also the f4s carrying more radar missiles than the mig23 is not what bias is.
The igla being better than mistral and stinger despite using the igla has basis for the stinger and mistral being bad, that is bias

Taking airfield pictures with it would also be exciting gameplay, well suited for base bombers.
