Okay
Ground Update please gaijin
And how does that image prove that it works? All I’m seeing is a T-14 and some concrete blocks on the ground.
There are plenty of articles talking about it.
doubt a top tier update will come soon within five years
considering that top tier ground has already reached the IRL most modern tanks
Lol, this is the single image of it “existing” on a t14. and its just an image. you think we werent aware of it?
Lmao articles by who? Eurasian times? indian defense?

If this gets added to the game i hope the don’t go a 100% on its hypothetical specs cuz then it would dominate top tier ground, and lets be real, if it hasn’t even seen combat yet as of 2024, its hypothetical specs are probably very optimistic, and the production problems and corrupiton that some like to brush away are very much present.

So there is no proof. Gotcha.

Either way I’m glad it’ll still be added. MWT can be used as an example, it’s a game the snail is involved in, the Armata has its active protection system and is quite good.
Me watching France be stuck on an AZUR Prototype S2 and dysfunctional SXXI from 2006 while the rest get to use their 2018+ tanks
Personally don’t even think it matters. If a ground update is just the nations that CAN get something, why not. Not everyone can keep a modern military
It’s not the best proof, but if North Korea has a functional APS that looks very similar to Afghanit, I’m sure actual Afghanit works.

Some how a country that arguably has been developing active protection systems longer than anyone else wont have a functioning APS on their newest tank, makes loads of sense.

For real. Some people are letting their views on Russia politically just completely cloud their sense of reality (and this isn’t me taking an opposite stance either). Russia has been able to develop a hard-kill APS. So have China, Israel, South Africa (Sweden), South Korea, and Ukraine! This isn’t exactly the most groundbreaking development. And especially when, as you say, the first APS was Soviet.
There are plenty of issues with the T-14 Armata but I don’t think the APS is one of them.

i mean, gajin seems to believe no western nation seems to have been able to develop ERA that can defeat kinetic rounds as well
I fail to see how this relates to a discussion about Russia’s APS, but Gaijin is not entirely wrong here. Russian (and Chinese) ERA places a higher focus on KE protection. Western ERA doesn’t. Russian ERA is an integral part of pretty much every design, unlike Western ERA which is typically additional protection on e.g. urban fighting kits to protect against light anti-tank weapons (CE protection), not other tanks.
This doesn’t mean their implementation is perfect in game (Challenger 2 being a great example) but ARAT or Blazer or whatever are not designed to protect against high calibre APFSDS rounds. Relikt and Kontakt-5 are though.

no its more like, i dont doubt that it exists and works i just doubt of its actual capacities, its actual precision and complete overall capacity under different enviroments and targets
Western ERA its separated into 2 categories, aka the Chemical focused one and the Kinetic focues altough there is a few that fight both, like clara ERA wich acts both as a cushion for any incomming kinetic round aswell as a main factor for defeating Chemical altough its way to protect against kinetic its rather unconventional, but there is also quite a few ERA like EODS option wich protects both against chemical and kinetic too more similar to chinese ERA than anything.
Of course, not trying to say that there aren’t any western ERA designs capable of reaching high KE protection, rather that most aren’t, especially the ones in-game (ARAT, ROMOR-A, Dorchester 2F, Brenus, etc.)
