Well yeah, that applies to all tanks, not just Leos
Same for when you hit tracks, especially when moving that it just deletes the shell no matter how much pen it had

I don’t get how T-series tank armor penetration works—especially on the T-90M. Those side spall liners eat shells like nothing. Usually, they get one-shotted from the side, but sometimes they take a hit and nothing happens. And without a turret basket, the autoloader can sometimes save you by giving you a chance to one-shot before you die. As for NATO tanks with turret baskets—like the Abrams, and the Strv or Leopard—it’s okay. I just don’t feel invulnerable anymore when driving the Strv 122 series. Leave the Leclerc alone

I dont think they should be added last. If they can be done tomorrow, then do it.
Other than the leclerc are there any top tiers that actually had them in real life that’s still missing them?
you are asking russian devs to nerf russian vehicles
its impossible basically

I didn’t get it devs must paint hydraulic drive on T seriest turret rotation mechanism just because you wan’t that ?
Did they ever give a reason to why turret baskets effect turret rotation?
Like I’m all for having more stuff to hit, just not when it makes no sense.

That’s literally the only way to let people get something by shooting at the side of the hull.
Idk, Maybe if they modeled the actual electrical/hydraulic wires in the basket, i’d be alright with it.
The basket should be there to stop fragments from hitting crew with the chance to partially disable the turret drive on a direct hit.

Maybe for Leopard 2 with spall liners Abrams didn’t had that feature so it was vunerable to side shots now i think it can save one or two crew member occasionnaly.
So you want an additional layer of repairable spall liners with little to no downsides.
I’m glad you aren’t in charge of balancing.
Wait, are you claiming that turret baskets stop spall?
Guy I’m replying to definitely does.
Well I can say for sure that they do not.
If anything, they generate it.

He wants it to be implemented as a repairable spall liner, what it currently does isn’t something he discussed.
yeah because
thats what that is irl and what it should be
turret basket =/= horizontal turret drive
ur sounding like the old Alvis
the turret basket should be something like when u hit the fuel tank(ofc not to that level)
but it should not create more spall

I’m glad Gaijin decides to not implement awful changes that would increase the powercreep even more.
Giving tanks repairable spall liners with little to no downsides is just that.
I would argue that adding the turret baskets was an awful change, implemented not across the board and in a lazy and bad way. They simply add to the abrams pre-existing badly implemented turret drive system and all but ensure your horizontal drive is out when you’re hit.
They’re just… awful.
