They have time fuzes, not proxy fuzes. My report was made for time fuzes, but got dismissed beacuse proximity fuzes was unsuitable that BR.
I cannot speak on how technical moderators or developers handle bug reports as im not apart of either of those groups. And I dont think any of those (the staff) involved did anything wrong.
As stated a few time in this thread that its most likely whoever was writing the report was writing incorrect information if somebody else 80 years later was provided just that single page without any knowledge of engine size etc. And with the amount of volume of reports for a multitude of vehicles it would be easy to trust the archived microfilm at face value. As generally speaking information from the archives is generally* correct.
My report was made for time fuzes, but got dismissed because the devs didnt want to add proximity fuzes for a 5.3 vehicle.
Any chance you could reopen the issue and have it raised correctly?
Edit: My bad, thought you were a tech mod!

I ment timed fuses sorry, and its rather bull that the vt fuse shell wasnt given

I agree. Anyway, this report was part of a greater scheme to get a rangefinder on the Ram!
Which range finder? Do you have archive evidence of a range finder on it? I believe there was a system or sheet for users to use to be able calculate ranges on for the QF ram however i cant remember specifics.
If it did have a range finder id recommend finding evidence and making that a stand-alone bug report.
My sentiment is that if it gets HE-TF rounds, that it should have, it would require a rangefinder to operate those. Just like the other large caliber AA/TD vehicles.
Furthermore, some of the other similar vehicles doesnt have a modelled rangefinder either.

Obviously i meant the 8,8 and 7,62 cm Flaks in game. They only have HE-TF not HE-VT.

Wright engine has 10 inches larger diametre.
Perhaps it could fit in width, though cooling and exhaust would get difficult.
Higher engine just won’t fit. It’s already from floor to deck.
Ignore the generator part. In length they are close to the same.
snug fit
What exactly was the policy here? Is the highest horsepower value always taken without further consideration? Can we buff Chi-Ha over arcade battle engine powers? (No I’m not seriously suggesting that.)

Gaijin doesn’t do things that make sense.
They are either dogmatic, even when values don’t make sense, or they decide to ignore correct values because it doesn’t fit them.

Best, most realistic Gaijin change ever. Not even joking.
Now we just need to give all 6-pounders 57mm M86 APHE (with slightly lower velocity and pen on the Mk.3 shorter-barreled gun) and give the QF 75 75mm M61 APHE. Then the British will finally be cooking.
I’d say keep it on the Sherman II, as if you take it away the thing becomes less than worthless. But give the round to every other QF 75 vehicle.
The case for the 57mm M86 comes from the fact that the US 57 is a license-built copy of the British 57. British 6-pdr APDS was used in US 57s at Bulge, implying their ammo was cross-compatible.
And lastly, Britain is the only nation without much APHE in the otherwise “golden era of WT” from 3.3-4.3, before you get a bunch of 17-pdrs that have enough postpen spall to make up for no filler.
Absolute rubbish as you are well aware, one mis-type in 1943 leads to silliness in 2025. This should have been picked up by Gaijin during their QA process.

Gaijin also thinks the VK 3002 only weighs 35t 🤷🏻♂️

Someone mistyped the incendiary filler for 13mm AP-I as 0,36g (less than some 7.62mm AP-I carry) and Gaijin still claims it’s the correct value despite me providing them with 3d modelled 13mm bullet with the incendiary filler area being big enough to stuff around 0,8g of incendiary (depending on the density, it could be as much as 0,9g or f.e. 0,86g, wink wink, because no way in hell someone would fail to close the “8”, or for it to get smudged up and someone else wrongly writing it down).
If there was only 0,36g of incendiary in there, the cavity qould have to be mostly filled with air.
But since “that’s what’s in a document” (even though it contains a lot of weird data and typing errors), that’s what’s modelled in game.
Yeah, basically all they have to do is take the density of RHA, they can even assume the "highest value* out of the selected range, then model UFP sized plate of 2cm thickness and turret face plate as thick as difference between VK and Panther Ds, and just subtract the weight of these 2 from Panther D weight, if there are any other differences in thickness, repeat the process, then compare the suspension, do the same. Then subtract additional 700kg out of good will (maybe some things were maden lighter and more delicate for the early, less armored variant f.e. parts of the suspension,nor some.more sophisticates designs were used) and we’ll end up around 40-41t, and that’s me being optimistic.
I don’t know man, the document of the VK 30.02 (M), made before any prototypes were built, says 35 tons.
Clearly it’s correct. You’re just hatin’ 💅.
