This is going to be awesome to play ^^ looking forward to the update!
This can’t be accurate can it? there is no ammunition close to the turret ring. do you mean that the round penetrates through to the ammo compartment and detonates that?
Idk blue one looked more fancy
I’m hoping the armor is not done yet on the dev server.
that “weak spot around the turret ring” is more like the entire upper front plate and 90% of the tanks side at the moment.
This is at 2km distance and with the Russian round 3BM60.

Side immunity from 3BM60 is not going to happen, not on any significant level. Partly because it’s a high penetration round on an area generally vulnerable on all tanks, and two, you have to have a consideration for balance, no one gets a perfect representation of a vehicle without being balanced.
“sad but true” - NATO tanks have no side armor against something bigger than 23-30mm cannons.
What about the 2nd pic showing a penetration of UFP at 2000 meters?
It’s all dev server data for now, so I wouldn’t worry too much about anything. But to expect a nation’s top round to not penetrate the entirety of the side of a Strv, at all, is outlandish.
Oh yeah, definitely agree with respect to the side armor
His additional armor looks wrong. The armor at the rear of the turret should not be tapered inwardly.
i don’t actually have any data to go on but it feels weird that all that extra armor does nothing in terms of protection at 2km distance.
This vehicle should have improved protection everywhere, right? Even the glacis?
The pictures of the prototype clearly show that the front consists of newly made (dark green) pieces, replacing the original parts. Look at the rear side of the vehicle to see the original dusty and camouflaged finish.
Jokes on you, Gajin decided to nerf the Armor value of the UFP plate

Where did you see that?
Leopard 2A7V research. Our desperation ended in us digging into datamines ourself to find out what the HECK gajin is doing to the vehicles…
For your intrest this is current Leo 2A7V, in gajins eyes a 2 Year old tank is worse then the Strv122 and gave it 30year old B-tech armor…

That is weird, the only thing i have seen so far is this:
making it go from 0.6 to 1.25 on the external parts.
is the datamine you showed from the most recent patch?
Newest Dev server version

I made a bug report regarding the fact that the clearly new frontal modules (based on 4th gen nanoceramics) only offer the same protection as the 122A/B, when the whole idea of the project was to up-armour the tank.
Obviously there are no specific thickness numbers that I know of. Does anybody know more about the “2A4 Evolution” which has similar technology, or which german variants share that kind of tech?

Fix the damage model ! Come on already …shot it at a direct hit to the chamber under the gun and all it did was get yellow… from a 3BM60 round ! This is ridiculous !
Don’t think that just this vehicle, I’ve shot an m60’s breech out, with a direct hit, and it did no damage to the breech.
