The standards to revise M1A2 SEPv3's armor NEED to be revised and calibrated

If the card is the same as it is on the V3, the turret weight should be in the bottom right hand corner in US tons. Even if we get a high enough photo to read that, as well as “SEP V2” it should be enough.

That’s essentially what they did with our report, but it wasn’t good enough I guess

I had a chance to read the first report and was absolutely amazed by the dedication and amount of detail that was poured into it. This is truly a topic of passion cause I think a lot of us are pretty fed up with the unprofessional dealings and lack of logical thinking from the devs.
There’s plenty of information on these reports, they’re just either not reading it or feigning ignorance. Can’t be a problem if they don’t think it’s a problem.

Alright, I sent my buddy a message and hope to hear back soon.

If he decides to look, the hull placard would be useful too, on the ceiling in front of the driver, if not, it’s not the end of the world. He can markup the photo to cover the serial number if he wants to.

Wish I could’ve been a part of this topic from the start, but people like to cry to the mods when their feelings get hurt so I’ve been on timeout. 😂

I specified the turret placard is the priority, but I already made mention of the hull placard as well.

And we shall wait

All the videos ive found of the commanders side on the sepv2 haven’t shown the turret wall, mostly looking at the loader or CITV sadly.

I’d love to see the other mbts get fixed tbh. A lot of them are, as you say, in a worse place than the abrams.

Theres just abrams being released this update so of course its a hot topic.

I already did, two; but none ever went anywhere.

Nothing is ever of use, I do not care anymore.

Don’t forget “Warthunder Issues” fowarding to devs are all community based. Gaijin does nothing on this part except check the sources and claims.

We are essentially doing all the work for gaijin to make a change

I believe this is a SEP(v1), the data tag would be behind the black tape (I think that is what that is).

EDIT: actually, this is not consistent with what I wrote underneath, hm… It may be a SEPv1 still with some things moved around, or a SEPv2 with some things removed. Idk though.

Spoiler

From what I can gather:

SEP:
pretty empty wall, idk what that small selector box is or whatever, but it’s not underneath the lamp. Data tag sits fairly high.

SEPv2:
The small box is now underneath the lamp, and a new large selector box is in its old place. Data tag sits right underneath that new box.
image

SEPv3:
Pretty much the same arrangement as SEPv2, but the data tag is moved a bit more to the left, as now underneath the larger selector box are a bunch of connectors or something.
image

Idk the correct terminology for these things, so forgive my use of “box” and such. I hope it’s clear.

PSA: Stay out of blowing up people’s bug reports with unnecessary spam unless you have facts or data to add. This is getting ridiculous.

It may actually even be a SEPv3 but with the larger box removed now looking at it, because I can see the bracket that holds the wire connectors (which seems absent in SEPv2 footage I looked at, though not 100% sure). Where did you find that picture, and probably more importantly, from year does it date?

Spoiler

I think at least, SEPv2 doesn’t have it. As you can see here, it’s quite completely empty underneath the large box, instead just the data tag sits there.

EDIT: lmfao ok, I guess I’m just blind, it’s there, but it’s a bit hard to see maybe. It however starts quite low, such that the data tag fits between it and the box above it, whereas in the SEPv3, the bracket sits higher or extends higher, such that the data tag had to be moved leftwards (forwards to the turret front).
