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

Just_Baron · June 20, 2024, 4:25pm

That was my plan as well.

Just_Baron · June 20, 2024, 4:27pm

M22 can side pen it…

el_Argentino · June 20, 2024, 4:34pm

I was never good at math, but 30mm, really? wtf is this. That gate in real life must be more than 300mm, I have seen it open.

Just_Baron · June 20, 2024, 4:38pm

Yeah, Gaijin really screwed this one up.

I sent an email to the people who make the Namer APC wondering if there is any composite at all in the sides, so if they answer, I’ll ask them about that next.

Alternatively, if anyone has any images of Namer APC with their sides damaged, that might also prove it.

In fact, a quick internet search shows the back door. It’s no secret, the door is not 30mm…

Just_Baron · June 20, 2024, 4:58pm

I added it to my post up top.

isn’t supposed to be semi hollow to act as spaced armor?

Just_Baron · June 20, 2024, 5:23pm

No. It can stop an RPG at minimum, which means it should be over 440mm CE effective.

el_Argentino · June 20, 2024, 5:28pm

dude, I don’t think this IFV has 61 tons of air.

Surely it has air chambers internally, but not everything there is air.

I mean, it’s not even modeled as spaced armor.

TuboThePanda · June 20, 2024, 5:28pm

so filled with composite then?

TuboThePanda · June 20, 2024, 5:30pm

ah, that wasn’t what i meant, i thought maybe just in the door that it would be spaced armor as it would need to be light enough for the hydraulics to manage no? i don’t know much of the composition of the vehicle but i agree that it probably doesn’t use that much spaced armor.

Just_Baron · June 20, 2024, 5:30pm

More than likely. It was designed for tandem hits everywhere.

el_Argentino · June 20, 2024, 5:35pm

Well, one of the characteristics of composite armor is that it must be strong and not so heavy (relative to conventional armor from the mid-20th century).

Judging by the thickness of the door, it is definitely composite armor.

Just_Baron · June 20, 2024, 5:35pm

Namer’s Rear Door is not 30mm thick. Visually Identifiable. // Gaijin.net // Issues

I’ve made a bug report on the Namer’s Door.

xef56 · June 20, 2024, 5:39pm

its because they added all that armor in the hull and side but gaijin wont add it because ‘balance’ as they say

Just_Baron · June 20, 2024, 5:40pm

Then the game should stop being called “Realistic”.

UPSMan · June 20, 2024, 5:42pm

The area from the side armor are just empty

Just_Baron · June 20, 2024, 5:44pm

Yeah, I pointed out that it’s hollow, which is obviously incorrect.

UPSMan · June 20, 2024, 5:46pm

i would be happy if they just copy the same stats as from merkava 4, i dont want more

Just_Baron · June 20, 2024, 5:48pm

I want more because the Merkava is paper. If this game is to be called “Realistic”, this APC should be the most protected vehicle in the game.
