Much like the cr2?
Absolutely, youll need lists of sources.

Are these enough for WAR? I remember that I tried to report it on the old forum, but it was rejected as CBR asked for exact values.
It also wasn’t taken into account in my bug report about weights…

Panorama Difesa Numero 401 - November 2020 (P.44): “The War kit sees the installation of additional plates for the protection of the turret and hull from direct hits with APFSDS (Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot) type armor-piercing projectiles.”
RIVISTA MILITARE 2005 N.2 (P.67): “The first, called “war”, with peculiarities aimed at improving survival against kinetic energy ammunition, will be installed on the entire “Ariete” wagon fleet.”

As the new AMV is entering production and new media tools are avaiable we have clearer images of the Ariete to compare with the model we have in game.
Here I compared the top-down drone shot from the CIO Otomelara site with a replica shot of the in-game model.
Even accepting some error margin we can clearly see where the construction lines matches ( blue lines) and where the welding lines does not (red lines):
This shows a possible different layout of the internal plates on the front part compared to the in game model.
Maybe this can help for future reports about the front armour of the Ariete when coupled with other sources or to boost current open report about this topic.

WAR kit, TES kit, TUSK kit, PSO kit, and every other western armor package is absolutely garbage in war thunder and its absolutely arbitrary, some of these packages cant even stop a 1960 rpg7

WAR though is not the same as PSO, it’s specifically made to protect the turret against more modern KE threats.

i was not making a point that theyre similar, i was making a point that theyre all implemented like shit.

Except 11.7/12.0 Arietes, Italy has some pretty decent higher tier. Freccia is probably the best autocannon vehicle in the game and is worth trying out.

I can agree that the 25mm KBA is such a good autocannon. I’ve just spaded my VBC PT2.

Hi @Smin1080p_WT, as the update drops tomorrow can we know if the sources posted by @YaSen are acceptable to start a new report on the WAR kit for the Ariete? Just to know before this post will be closed with all the others related to this dev session.
