What exactly do spall liners look like?

We all know (and hate) that feeling.

skill issue gaming

Me when I destroy 2 charges and a round and it doesn’t explode:

As you said, they vary. Spall liners are basically internal spaced armor. As long as it doesnt spall much and can block spall, it can work as a liner.

Pretty sure the bradley and others use a composite

Sounds like an issue that affects every tank in the game ngl

Autoloader would spall and ignite the whole crew and the ammo

Imagine this. The carousel is half empty. If you shoot the empty section, the spalling won’t ignite the ammo in the filled section. Pretty simple

hell, even the wiesel has spall liners (irl)

no but seriously? how will a spall liner help a Weisel?! its so fucking small that any decent hit should kill the crew.

I mean… I’ll take what i can get.
Any shot from the side might not kill it for once

50 cal looks at you for a second…

Hehe

I hate that it’s true.

It shouldn’t die from an artillery shell landing 100 astronomical units away, exactly because of the spall liners, in light vehicles it’s the main purpose of having it - catching artillery/etc. shrapnel.

I won’t argue with you because you have no clue about what you’re talking about, that’s the primary reason.

I hate how its way different irl

The CV90’s have white panels that look like this:

I think most western vehicles do some version of that.

nah he just shot the sci-fi era that can stop 120mm apfsds.

But he’s right.
I’ve analyzed hits in which I’ve destroyed the autoloader but ammo didn’t explode.
Guess what, ammo wasn’t hit at all because shot went through half empty carousel.

I guess you could ask what does a spall liner do when white hot plasma is ejected into a crew compartment because modern ammo does not act like somebody just fired solid shot at a T34 🤣
Tank shot nowdays is melting armour like butter not showering people in iron splinters.
