Why the turret basket nerf to the Leopard 2 series and Abrams tanks were absolutly brilliant

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

I never said it was a good change. I’m simply stating that the basket and autoloader eat spall, and that aside from the LFP shot and a poorly placed side-shot, nothing has really changed for the Abrams. I would rather have Spall Liner Leos moved up to 12.0 than these module changes.

It doesn’t tho, spall can’t generate other spall, only the main projectile can, it will eat spall until it’s black, after that spall will pass trough it.

With Gaijin’s track record, I doubt its going to be reverted.

only one of these would eat spall consistently and properly
one generate more spall in most cases
if you can please give me a shot where it would eat spall rather than creating spall
even in protection analysis the autoloader eat the spall and the projectile going through it does not generate more spall
when you do protection analysis on abrams lfp you can see that after it passed the lfp it generate spall cone number 1 but after the projectile fly through the driver and reach the turret basket it create a second spall cone number 2 killing the entire turret crew

I’ve played hundreds of top tier games after the change, the basket does eat spall, same way the autoloader does. Its not enough to make a difference every single shot, but you’ll see it every now and then.

yeah and that’s a bug, the main projectile just doesn’t generate any spall when penetrating so only the main projectile will deal any damage. This happens in protection analysis as well.

I don’t clip gameplay, however if I see it happen, I will send it here.

shouldnt eat anything how it should work is this way like IRL it should be a 80% chance of Turret going flying as T80s IRL when destroyed rarely remain in one piece

IRL is not War Thunder. Nothing in this game makes sense.

anyways im gonna go play planes only fun mode in this game (13.0-7.0)

I dont think ive seen a case where protection analysis is wrong about what generates spall or not before
ive been trying to look out for it in game but most of the time habitually skip the shot replays

thats mostly because gaijin doesnt understand the abrams hydraulic system and made a non pressurized section of a gated hydraulic system (the hydraulic tank they labeled as a pump) vital to the turret drives and ignored the backup pump, residual pressure in the lines and manual backup turret drives
