Since when L44 vs L55 would have been such a big difference and what things you can pen with L55 but not with L44?
The mobility is almost the same.
The .50 cal is super useful and the side armor certanly help against heat and atgm and against autocannons, if they introduce the ufp add-on it will be by far the best leo in the game
With the new exhaust system it should be also not so loud compared to the other Leo’s in game
Except tandem ATGMs (which is the majority of the ATGMs at 11.7) completely ignore the side armor.
So congratulations, you now have side armor that only helps you against stock MBTs and ATGMs that mostly stop appearing around 9.3.
And the 50 cal is about as big of an advantage as the extra pen. Situationally usefull.

L55 it should increase armor penetration of DM53 by 15 percent but in the game it less than 15percent not even close to that if DM53 fire from L44 in the game are 623mm fire from L55 should be around 700mm more or less

Even if DM53 by L55 was 700MM and L44 623MM you wouldn’t notice a difference most time that not let figure out right now that is only 33MM
Yeah Gaijin sometimes takes some creative liberties, which I personally don’t mind much as long as they are not too big.
It’s just annoying when people pull out the “no pictures of vehicle Y with X” argument.

Except its not? It does allow you to .50 cal some light vehicles as well as track them, it does also allow you kill helicopter much easier than with a 7mm we have right now.
The side armor also means that even for a bit, we would have 10-20mm more on KE which can help for sure against autocannons
The PSO also does have more smokes
Would be nice if they took those creative liberties to the Barak II and gave it Sparrows.
Though if the Python 4 comes next patch I wouldn’t mind

Everyone ignores that the up-addon composite is resistant to 30mm APFSDS. so now you can’t die to BMP-2Ms autocannon fire from the side that easily, nor can you get ammo racked by autocannons from the side. And your smoke grenades are hidden behind composite armor so autocannons also can’t detonate them and be annoying in that aspect either.

Thinking about it a bit more I’m curious for some from you to proof this. When I was on the dev server the KE protection provided by the add on armor was about 20-30mm.
Iirc it closed today
Close about 8 hours ago
The DevServer is closed now, beside that the composite screens from upside was able to withstand autocannon fire for a short period which can help and the pso acceleration should be better but i can’t be sure about that
Wtf. It’s true
So without solid proof we can’t make any conclusions on how effective the side armor is against anything. Which goes both ways of course and also applies for me.
both of these are just trolling posts btw neither of these are in the files for both dev and live server whatsoever
