You see, when it’s a “bug” in favour of the vehicles they play, it obviously isn’t an issue and shouldn’t be fixed.
Ain’t it? Aint’t russian tanks a bit too good? And for example Abram’s turret armour too weak. Ruskie or ruskie lovers will say none of the top tier MBT’s will have accurate armour cause they’re all top secret blablabla but generally imo russian tanks are a bit op.
Nope, they aren’t.no reverse, no gun depression, bad mobility, and can lol pen from front. You have to play them to know how bad they are.
wdym Not even 3BM60 can pen the Abram’s turret.
Is that a surprise for you?
skill issue
No, ERA “eating” latest apfsds (and i’m not talking about front turret only like side shot) is devs choice not skill issue. Looks like “realism” matters only when “CAS” shits on people.
USA still have the best top tier jets in War Thunder. so Russian bias yea?
Fuck jests, i’m interested in tanks.
No they’re not. They trade good armor for reverse speed, survivability, gun depression, and reload.
LOL russians tanks have better survivability. Most of encounters end after 1 hit so who cares about reverse speed.
Say that when Russian ERA doesn’t eat 50KG of TNT lol
The only time they have better survivability is when you hit the ammo and it doesn’t explode which is rare.
Not true
just shoot the LFP lil bro
How will I shoot LFP with Mavericks lol?
Oh, I thought we were talking about HEATFS, my bad(I didnt see 50kg).
LFP from yoday T62, even did’t kill the driver.
Soviet ERA is at worst, modeled correctly but more likely modeled to be too good. Iirc, they use NATO figures or something for Soviet ERA which makes it very good.
Meanwhile most ERA from other nations is woefully underperforming. Like the CR2 TES which should have 3-4x the CE protection it currently has.
Soviet tanks might have some weaknesses, but when it comes to faithful modeling, they are doing exceptionally well. Still waiting on major bug reports to be fixed for most NATO tanks that were reported years ago.
But then you also have the fact that NATO shells shoudlnt be stopped by ERA due to ERA Perforating Tips. Which conventienty arent modeled

No, Russian ERA is modeled incorrectly, and this is done intentionally. It shouldn’t work against modern segmented core projectiles, and it shouldn’t be effective at a 0-degree impact angle.

As people point out at an angle ERA can become more effective at reducing the round penetration enough for the main armor to stop that round. So in hit cam it might look like ERA just block the round completely.
But that is the case with lower penetration APFSDS / HEAT / HE round or the case where you hit them at extreme angle.
For the case with 105mm+ long rod APFSDS shooting straight on at side armor. ERA should have less effective. As there are less angle and the main APFSDS rod should still go through main armor none the less.
