I have never seen it once to my memory. Devs are entirely removed from any social media besides whatever the employees inbetween them and us wants them to see (which is clearly not a lot)
If you poke them with a stick they’re more than likely to reply. Once I’ve asked why we have Pages of History majority of the time only covering USSR and USA figures, the Developer responsible for this replied to me in a very unclear way as I had to look for his past replies on the reason why we never see contemporary or Axis figures.
The developers have seriously neglected functions, so it’s possible that this is a fault. For example, the ERA on the sides of the Challenger 2 TES and EOS should be the same, and not only does it provide poor protection, but they also provide different protection, even though they are the same ERA model.
After all, whether the Relict could stop 250mm of KE in reality is another matter. Personally, I think it’s too much, but hey, at the end of the day, gaijin does what he wants.
The T-80BVM’s skirt ERA is simply a naming mistake, it uses 4S22 plates on the skirt for the base package and 4S24U baseplate + applique in the ERA upgrade
It shouldn’t be. If you look at the upgrade package you can see the quite clear swap to Relikt on the upgraded skirt package.
Just @ them.
M829A3 would be overpowered. There is zero reason to add it currently. What does need to change is that APFSDS hitting ERA at a flat angle should be unaffected by the ERA.

Yet it won’t change, unfortunately
LOL! M829A2 has never once struggled to pen the side. Stop lying about American equipment.
There is zero evidence of ERA over-performing. Keep claiming NATO are liars, all you do is claim NATO are liars…
@SiberianSnakeSIB
Relikt gets its protection bonus from being angled.
It’s why Relikt is used in bags mostly so it can be angled.
M829A3 would just be DM53+ L/55 pen on a L/44 cannon

there is. T-80/T-72/T-90/other shit should get like 1/2 or 1/4 or UFP ERA exploded, even if only one got hit. construction is too weak and just bends(causing smth like chain reaction)
K-5/relict
so sad that NATO ERA is severely underperforming
NATO ERA doesn’t use flyer plates so its KE protection will always be bad.
Its CE protection is different from statcard claims and statcards can’t be used to show protection.
Kontakt 1 is less than half as effective as French ERA for example.
you dont need flyer plates to do so.
take look at NIZH for example - no plate needed, it just cuts the shell.
Spoiler
Well the NATO ones were really just designed for side protection against RPGs. As seen they were never mounted on anything but the sides (except M60 stuff)
I’ve experienced that
No, you’ve experienced aiming badly and hitting roof armor which is universal on all tanks.
ERA does eat rounds but its Gaijin modelling where multiple ERA are ‘stacked up’ statistically and that results in something like 500 mm ERA instead of its actual performance.
It has gotten better or maybe I just play top tier ground that much less.
so if you put Contact-5 and Relict in angled position, only Relict will have x1,5 protection bonus ?
