Where is the armor on the Namer, Gaijin...?

When I play nations like Germany or Russia at top tier, I am bewildered by how unkillable you feel. It’s actually insane how unbalanced top tier is.

Even if Gaijin goes for a Balance over Realistic approach, you can’t honestly tell me that the Challenger, Merkava, Ariete, Leclerc, etc can’t stop DM33 reliably.

I know how you feel.

That’d be a ban lol

ahhh i see what you mean now, that is… certainly an interesting way of modeling it

even the ammo box explode make Namer destroy.

I’m genuinely baffled by how poorly they modelled the Merkava’s armour. At least the Chally can tank otherwise penetrating shots to the turret cheek, and Italy now has a 2A7, so they can’t fully complain anymore unless they want to defend the Ariete. I haven’t checked the Leclerc in a while, so I can’t say much about that atm.

Leclerc dies to fuel explosions constantly cause they’re everywhere in the tank.

Ah, I forgot about their fuel tanks. Fuel tanks don’t even blow up like that irl.

Yeah, it’s pretty bad.

65 tons tank with turret has more armor than an apc with the same hull and no turret at 62 tons.
Logic is out of the window at this point.

At the moment there are quite a lot of bugs when it comes to losing the tank, just from destroying the ammunition to overpressure on the side where the cameras are with a 35mm HE, the hull should at least have the same values ​​as the Mk4…

They have nothing special going for them aside for like reverse speed. Being the best protected MBTs would actually make them special and unique from all the other MBTs

They move around pretty well, but the armor sucks.


3rd game. feels good man :)

1000mm of protection against HEAT warheads is wrong?

He said:

And he is right, the sides of the Namer are pretty much empty… seems wrong

Insert Namer here

Don’t bother with him. I blocked him long ago for saying insane shit and stalking my posts.



I’m a bit surprised, but I suppose I’ve gotten nukes in the Gepard even at 11.7, so it’s not impossible. I’m still grinding mine.

But yeah, the sides are wrong. I showed some images that point to the sides being hollow on the model for no reason.


As seen here, you can tell that the upper sides are missing some armor since it’s hollow between the external NERA and the 50mm internal plate. There’s around 400mm LOS or so of angled composite missing.

I don’t have real data on the armor, but with 60+ tons (without turret) it should be much more protected on the sides. Furthermore, on the sides the armor has a good angle of inclination so it should be even much stronger. Gaijin should definitely fix this thing and raise it to 11 or 11.3, since Israel doesn’t have a damn 10.3 lineup and Chaparral sucks.

it should have the same armor or more than the mark 4 irl (which is lacking a lot in game ;-;)
