    The infamous T-90M main battle tank was recently added to War Thunder, and it brought spall liners with it. I would say that top tier has certainly gotten even worse since then.

      @@jimmydesouza4375 Im not an expert so take what I say with a grain of salt. It's basically the tank's ability to keep power to both tracks while both are still moving at different speeds. Instead of the inner track completely stopping to make a turn, it just rotates slower and the excess power is diverted to the outer track to rotate it faster. This allows the tank to actually turn much more smoothly while still moving forward and retaining speed, instead of the inner track just locking up and killing the ground speed so you pivot on it.
      Biggest thing to note is that NATO tanks have it, and specifically Russian tanks don't. That is the entire reason it's not in the game, even though it was present on tanks manufactured over 70 years ago lmao. They will never add something that isn't a pure unfair advantage to... a "certain nation"... as evidenced by spall liners. They have been present on Nato tanks since the Leopard 2a4 for example. Only added now because the first Russian tank that has it finally got added, so the rest of us are finally allowed to have it.

      @@worldoftancraft As mentioned above, significantly slower reverse speed on the T-90M due to possessing only a single reverse gear at 4MPH vs. 45MPH reverse speed for Abrams which enables safer peeking tactics. Carousel autoloader with ammunition stored in crew compartment of T-90M vs. separate ammunition behind blast doors on Abrams means that a penetrating hit on a T-90M is much much more likely to cause a catastrophic ammo detonation. Shorter APFSDS penetrators available that will fit the T-90M due to the autoloader vs the Abrams manual loader means reduced armor penetration potential. The lower profile on the T-90M doesn't provide much if any additional protection due to the accuracy of modern AT weapons but does serve to reduce crew comfort. The main advantages of the T90M are that it's lighter weight, cheaper, and requires one less crewman, but these matter from more of a logistics perspective. On a per-tank basis, the Abrams is superior to the T-90M in virtually every way.

    This is unrelated, but I think it'd be cool if they experimented with the "Hull break" mechanic again, but instead of it working like overpressure, it works differently. It would be there to prevent AA trucks or armored cars from tanking 122mm shells when hit in the engine or something because no matter how good of a mechanic you have or how ever many spare parts you got, you just ain't repairing that big of a hole in your car.
    It might be a hot take but I dislike the idea of light vehicles walking off like 152-155mm AP shells so casually like they just didn't get hit at all.

    The eyes thing is something dating back to the first world war, and is an insignia on one of the RTR squadrons. Supposedly it's because a Chinese(?) buisnessman financed either one of a few of a Tank Corps companies tanks but gave a notably odd request to have eyes painted on the side to ward off bad omens and spirits.

    That F-16 kill with an apfsds was impressive. I wonder whether the main penetrator or the sabot petals hit him.
    This also made me wonder that combining an apfsds round with a canister shot would be viable or not. Here I mean to replace the sabot petals with a sabot that doubles as a canister, containing metal balls.
    Such a sabot canister hybrid should not degrade the performance of an apfsds penetrator much.

      Real sabot open up and fall away at no more than 100m.
      Real sabot also has minimized mass.
      Mainly because energy not going into pushing the rod are not contributing to making enemy going boom.
      The newest sabot design is not even metal anymore. Iirc, it is sort of composite mix, to minimized the weight.

      Yes, but those are dedicated anti-personnel rounds. Similarly, the US army developed a dedicated anti-personnel canister round for the M1 Abrams.
      My idea is to have an apfsds round that is optimised for anti-tank purposes, but also has a secondary close range anti-personnel effect in case of emergency. The point here is to have such a canister sabot that does not impede the performance of the main penetrator compared to the regular petal sabots.
      The canister sabot does not even needs to be heavier then the petals simply because infantry are soft targets.
      Even ceramic or plastic pellets would have a deadly effect with propellant quantity of an apfsds round.

      @Bingo_Bango_ Před 4 měsíci

      The "cage" part of the "cope cage" is the critical element. Many improvised covers shown early in the war were slapped right above key hatches and blocking already limited visibility. Soldiers wised up on this - now they are equally dirt cheap and slapdash, but spaced so far away from the tank it's more like a cope tent than a cope cage, making the vehicle visible from a mile away. The new type are the ones you see getting hit by drones the most since the loss in discretion far outweighs any gain in protection.
