I’ve extensively tested this.
and i am extensively in doubt that you have tested it
The Horizontal Drive(turret basket) does generate additional spall if hit directly, you can easily test this by hitting the back of the drive and see an additional layer of spall from the point of contact with the drive.
Deny facts all you want. Both the basket and autoloader eat spall.
As for @WereCat888, if you’re using protection analysis, don’t. Its not trustworthy, and every experienced player knows how much it lies.
yes it may eat spall so what your a bit more survivble great now your horizontal is gone and your a free kill
That’s the most accurate tool we have tho, and even in protection analysis shots sometimes go without spall which happens in games as well.
Don’t expect to survive a hit. Its bad mentality and WILL get you killed. Never rely on your armor.
You could do it in-game instead, the protection analysis, hit analysis, and in-game all have different mechanics it seems.
this makes your survibility worse you most times would survive a shot crippled but usally fire back in this scenario you cant as your horizontal is gone
Sure it makes it slightly worse, but in my experience it hasn’t changed much. Apart from the odd LFP shot, the before and after had the same outcome - death or being disabled.
and only major nations got this nerf despite every nation having a turret basket
Im gonna be honest this is better because i did feel frustrated hitting a sideshot on an abrams and it doing pretty much nothing, now they need to apply this to the t series as well and make the autoloader part of the horizontal drive so when i hit the side and don’t get a kill at least they can’t fight back.
but you usually wouldnt loose ability to shoot which in this is now 100% chance
I’m against the module changes in general, I don’t like them at all.
i agree every nation should have it not just mains
well your arguing right now its a good change mixed messages
I’m simply stating facts right now, we have to deal with the cards Gaijin dealt us. I never said it was a good change.
every tank in game has a turret basket therefore by gaijin logic everyone should have it
then how is turret basket good? it generate more spall, before the update when you shoot lfp of abrams you have a 50% chance to get disable but 2 crew survived and you can fight back
as of now frontal shot has 100% chance to kill no matter where you shot
turret basket should not generate spall, it should eat the spall generated by the first spall instead of creating a second spall cone
no we dont we need to push back im no corporate slave they made a bad decision and should rectify it
