Blowout panels are still very much functioning though.

There are too many conditions where they outright fail(more than 3 HE rounds, Ammo Door punctured, during a reload etc.), considering their actual internal layout segregates warheads from the fighting compartment even with the door open due to the design.
A carriage swing gate secures each individual Shell stub into an armored cylinder that is inset into an internal firewall with them on the far side that has a direct path to the Blowout Panel, as the path of least resistance, also The propellant deflagrates, so Pressure is not instantly built.
And provably successful test footage vs known ammo loads(24 KE+ 10 HE, rounds)
And the 105 Abrams should have a Blowout panel for Hull ammo too.
They have been steadily made less and less reliable over time.
After the first nerf they were fine, functional but situationally helpful. (If the ammo bulkhead is broken it doesnt work, and its open for 3s during the old M1 abrams 5s reload)
The second and third nerfs were uncalled for. (HEAT/HESH/HE in the ammo rack makes it not work+number of shells loaded can make them not work)
The most recent nerfs are just making tanks with them basically no different to tanks without them.
This one is basically a Gaijin invention. There’s footage from the certain eastern country, showing a Leopard 2A4 that suffered a blow-out panel knock-off, where basically the whole load was HE and HEAT shells and… the tank didn’t blow up.
I’m fairly positive this was done to make Western tanks simply easier to kill, not for “historical reasons”, otherwise Gaijin should’ve looked into insensitivie propellants/warheads that were specifically designed to keep the blow-out panels from failing after a detonation of HE munitions…

If such a mechanic is ever introduced I’ve got evidence for a fair number of additional shells that could be added to most 105, 120 & 155mm guns (and certain aircraft ordnance and balancing various explosives, but that has a lot less of an impact on gameplay) that are IM compliant.
trunnions so the breech isnt inpennetrable and the relikt to an extent so u can actually one shot a t90m from the side with a dart
Relikt not being vulnerable to missiles with Tandem war heads.
Brimstone should rip through Relikt, it doesnt because Gaijin have buffed and made it immune to tandem warheads.

Hilarious considering they removed that feature rather quickly from the TES after the first dev server. It used to have a more correct 1300mm of ce protection but people complained and it was reduced to 400. Only recently being “buffed” to 500 ce as if that meant anything.

don’t do trunnions nulify the capacity of the tank for aiming vertically? i don’t understand what problem u have with them, and if u aim for the turret of russian tanks, u’re doing something wrong.
it already has autoloader.
if u can prove they don’t have anti spall armor around the “turret basket” then sure, if not, stop crying.

Isn’t Relikt literally stated to protect against Tandem warheads?
The guy near the start of this thread who proved all of this lol. Literally just scroll up my guy. And the reason nobody shoots russian turrets is due to this trunion bullshit, its why im asking for it to be fixed as it does buff them considerably when you should be able to easily pen a russian breach with anything better than dm 33.
u know there’s an external part of the tank called “barrel”, right? and if u’re aiming to the turret of a russian tank, u’re doing something wrong, the main weakspots are the driver’s port and LFP, not the turret.
Relikt can be penetrated by APFSDS, dude, it’s just it doing it’s own actual job: destabilizing an APFSDS to break it’s penetration capability.
it should obviously get fixed/“nerfed” but it doesn’t look like it’s that hard to actually pen a T-90M from the side.
Considering i havent had a situation where an autoloader hasnt blown up when ive shot it "apart from russian autoloaders of course) i think it most certainly has been introduced.
They dont, I shot t72b breech today, it became yellow but commander died. Then guy just erased me with 1 shot.
Kinda find it weird that shots meant for breech fail to kill breech but somehow kill crew near that breech
It should destabilise it when hit at an angle, the problem being that the era will basically nullfiy 90% of the pen of a round as well as its damage if you hit it flat on where it should basically do nothing.
Combine that with the fact the fire control system on russian tanks (havent check for other tanks, may be for some others but 100% russian mbts) dont effect anything. They still have access to their full traverse speeds.
Thats because the blast door was punctured (nevermind the fact that Leclerc and Type 90/10 can live through that sometimes)
in that case it needs to be fixed, not nerfed.
trunnions are the same color as vertical controls, just like they’re also actually connected to them, which means it should nulify the capacity of the russian tank to aim vertically.
also if Russia has it, other nations should get it too, i’m pretty sure Leopard 2A7V/M1A2 Abrams SEP V2 also have “trunnions”.
i mean side shots into the the back of turrets. Itll cause them to detonate most times you shoot them. Dont know why people are bringing heat other than mp rounds to top tier anyway. Not like itll over pressure anything. Ive shot buks and pantsirs with multiple heat rounds just for them to shrug it off…
