Generally, shells that hit on the ERA would be ejected just like the middle–row ERA in picture 1 shows us.
But for the area that is covered by the top-row ERA, things are different. When the armor gets hit ,shells cannot be bounced, even at a very extreme angle
I am very sure that this shell did not directly hit the turret ring, FY-2 had been triggered!
I tried reporting this to Bug reporting manager and wanted to get an answer, and the manager showed me these words.
125 is much smaller than 50×7 or 45×7, so where’s the problem??

As for the fact that 125 is bigger than 45×1.3 or 50×1.3, why does the middle-row ERA work well?

Apfsds are subcaliber. In reality they’re like 20-40mm in dimensions…

LMAO! No way he actually responded with that, the Abrams UFP can ricochet shells and is only, what, 20mm thick? But the VT-4 can’t with it’s 40mm UFP + ERA? What a joke… why do they have guys like that gatekeeping it? Should I use my ANSYS license and run a simulation showing how APFSDS works against heavily sloped armor?
