Strv 122B+ has too little protection

Dev Server "Air Superiority" General Discussion

The vehicle has clearly new frontal modules (based on 4th gen nanoceramics) but it offers only the same protection as the 122A/B, when the whole idea of the project was to up-armour the tank.

I made a bug report, but it got immediately closed because I couldn’t offer any absolute numbers.

The 122B+ prototype is based on the 2A4 Evolution and 4th generation AMAP armour, according to the sources I have. Does anyone know more about it than I? Has anything been uncovered in the A7V research?

I will never understand why Gaijin looks at something up-armoured and decides to implement the unimproved number (the only number they know for a fact to be WRONG) instead of some reasonable guess that’s better.

What I’m confused about is that the composites clearly extend to the lower plate as it a visibly homogenous block, but the extension in game is a 10mm structural steel shell thereby adding no noticeable protection whatsoever despite the package stated as being a overall increase in armour effectiveness and coverage.

They’ve gotta make sure the T-90M can still pen it easily
