They completely ruined the M103 for no reason [I have since verified that they have in-fact, ruined the model]

IRL cameras have different focal lengths to video games.
Comparing that photo with that screen shot is a false equivalence.
Photos will not provide proof of model dimensions disparity.

Proof would be loading up the model & measuring all the dimensions then comparing that to a schematic of the vehicle.

I thought you guys hated overlapping plates causing bounces where there shouldn’t be…

I’ll have to wait until I can check it out myself, I don’t believe every random skill issue player or newbie that I find online at face value.

I now deleted the image of the M103 from Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona. as people are getting confused with it, and once again I’m not talking about picture math lol I have an IRL basis for what I’m talking about I wouldn’t be so silly to say all of this without actually seeing let alone touching a real M103. Edit: I have since confirmed the model discrepancies thanks to images provided by zarusoba10 that I have compared with multiple real M103 documents and other photographs.

I’ve been playing the game for seven years buddy.

I’ll give you a model photo that’s free of lens distortion.
You could compare that with the actual blueprints, couldn’t you?

That doesn’t make it better lol.

Sure lol, I’ll give it a shot at comparing it. who knows maybe I’ll have to rescind some things I’ve said. thank you BTW.

The only visible difference in that vehicle icon image is that the new model is cleaner…

The turret ring does look taller compared to photos however.

Well this is funny.

Then gaijin should not remodel vehicles at all? This is very much unavoidable. I understand that modelling error is very annoying but come on.

Well, if someone got data on the turret ring, you might be able to submit a bug report since it does look twice as tall than how it should.


It looks about as tall as the boxes on the sides

Ingame it’s twice as tall.

Ok, I’ve finished comparing here’s what I found.

The model’s turret ring is substantially taller than it’s supposed to be, about double.

The Turret slope is all wrong it’s a completely different shape than it’s supposed to be. the in-game one has a heavy triangular slope that bulges out and curves into itself over the hull of the tank when this is absent on the real turret. The real tanks turret is a bit skinnier and flusher with the hull, the slope meets the turret ring pretty evenly you can miss the bottom of the slope on the real tank from a-lot of frontal angles if you’re not looking for it.

The side of the turret is [Once Again] all wrong the real M103 actually does have a triangular point up towards the middle of the turret where it turns upward. Whereas the one in-game just kind of smooths up into itself.

The cannon gun shield and the cannon interface point has been squished down thanks to the turret being shorter than it’s supposed to be. the shield is roughly -25% shorter than it’s supposed to be. The turret is shorter than it’s supposed to be probably around 1.5/2 feet shorter [as previously stated]

The blower ventilation doesn’t go down the turret as much as it should.

The hull is too wide [as I previously stated] and the tracks are too closely spaced against the hull; they need to be moved away from the hull about 4/5 inches. The front fender armor plates also come forward a bit further than they should. Thanks to the hull being so wide the headlights are now too far inward when they should almost be touching the sides of the fender plates.

The hulls nose is also a bit more dramatically angled than it should be. The actual M103’s nose is quite smooth in reality.

that’s all the muster I have with this for now, maybe I’ll check more things later.

and before anyone bitches at me here’s everything I compared it with

m103rf10
m103lf6
m103a1rf8
m103a1rr6

So yeah, the new models trash lol, it’s completely devoid to me why Gaijin would do what they did here.

Anyone who disagreed with me needs to get their eyes checked as I’m not operating off of my opinions once again for the umpteenth time what I’m talking about here is FACT, whether you don’t like what I’m saying or not doesn’t come into it.

IF THERE WASNT SO MANY DRASTIC ERRORS THAN MOST SKINS WOULD STILL BE FINE WOULDENT THEY! No I’m obviously not saying they shouldn’t update anything ever but the update this tank received is complete utter shit and I have backed that up.
