    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.

    @exoticdachoo007 6 месяцев назад +96

    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.

      @Shinshocks555 You didn't answer the question. You've showered me with thesises.
      Karusêlj is the only option of making a truly small, lightweight tank with a large bore gun. I don't need your long posts about storing ammo in turret, since by the design it causes bigger amount of internal volume, which is "armoured air", and it is very heavy, and your method exposes the ammunition while being in a firing position, since the enemy sees the turret first.
      Shorter BOPS(sorry for using a sub-language, I know it's"armour piercing discarding Netherlandian boot stabilized by fish fins") of this tank is a natural limitation and a reminder that this is a tank - a self propelled artillery installation with some protection. Which can do direct and indirect fire. And which was invented as a breakthrough instrument, not as idiotic apogee of "tank v tank combat": tank which is designed to fight other tanks and pee with 0,30" coaxial machine gun on all other targets.
      Lower profile argument is the highest layer of the onion. If in your works infantry doesn't exist, and the only thing you do is "not being hit" because "not being acquired as a target" because "not being seen" because "not being there" because "i still fight only Saharan tribesman, not other guys I call 'people' without hypocrisy" you are truly a genius, and I i advise you to advert your tanks by reminding everybody how badly Sovêt design school showed itself in fighting against top-strike ATGM. Because yours tanks! They are extremely good, see the 5 points list!
      I am surprised you didn't tell me about anti RPG, high arc of fire artillery, and drone cages are "coupe cages" that are designed to seethe the bad zoobhoomen by allegedly protecting them against Javelin and NLAW.

      @Bingo_Bango_ 6 месяцев назад +2

      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.

    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.

    T-90M IRL: 25mm shells make turret go wee!
    Gulf War Bradley, "I took out a T-55 with a bushmaster by using the terrain to attack its weakest point. Nothing can ever top this!"
    Russo-Ukrainian War Bradley, "I shot a T-90M from the front with 25mm shells and its turret started spinning uncontrollably before it crashed into tree."

      It's not cool to tell the truth about this, because it will hurt the ego of many War Thunder players.
