Western NERA/NxRA is exactly that, Non-Explosive Reactive Armour.
It is not just panels with air, nor is the air the measure to protect from HEAT jets. It functions by having composite panels within the array which rapidly expand upon being hit by a high-energy jet, thereby disrupting it.
Like ERA, except less potent and also not explosive.
I should add on the contrary, the air is actually a critical measure in disrupting Kinetic projectiles - the high hardness (often ceramic) casings around the reactive composites disrupt the structure of the projectile and impart moments on it, which means that when it enters the air and is no longer supported it will begin to rotate. If that happens even a fraction of a degree it will lose structural integrity upon hitting the thicker backing plate of the array.
Please just read the thread. I was wrong on LMURs. Kh-38 idk, i have only the soviet ground (not-so)top-tier, so i’ve never really experienced playing aganist them, but like not replying would be impolite. Tank armor is a much more complicated topic, i don’t really want to debate anything, as @Metaltank1990 will continue to “nuh uh” and “i don’t feel like it” to every argument while making up the most outrageously untruthful claims one can only see in places like reddit. Have a good day.
Wow, what a source. Some guy found the photo online and wrote about that in his blog. Then some other dude quoted him on a military-themed blog site. Wow.
seeing absolutely everything that you posted here in the thread, and seeing that the dude above literally has shown you how you can nicely see the pattern on top of the fact that the 2A42 lacks any form of additional structural stabilizers or fasteners to prevent the recoil and is known to fly all over the place, i think its safe to say that the one who should start thinking and stop blindly believing everything he reads on the internet is you.
Inaccurate in what way? You mean the rating they made?
Yeah I don’t need to use that. I look at games played, winrate, kills, deaths and spawns. All of those are pretty accurate since statshark just pulls them from the game or API or whatever the name is.
