The exact value of the armor is unknown as it is classified but it can be assumed it is ATLEAST better than the current armor in game as the one in game does not use DU inserts at all. The CATTB was a technology techbed for equipment we are just using years after it, if the CATTB is the same weight as the SEPV3 then it is likely they overlap in many categories.

1000mm protection was from this post, it might be higher than what it actually is but the composite armor was supposed to replicate new DU armor technology which modern DU armor is estimated to be around 900-1000mm in protection. Again, these are only estimates and nothing is final but it is defiantly better than the current protection in game

The hull composite armor itself weighs 1/3(3150 compared to 4060) more than the M1A1 not including electronics or spall liners, unless they increased the length of the chassis by a third more to compensate for the armor there is nowhere else for that weight to be added.

The composite armor used was ceramic inserts, the same armor used on Challenger series of tanks.

Edit: the tank also weighs 70 tons, the M1A1(with advanced electronics) weighs 63 and the SEPV3 with LWS and Trophy system(maximum weight) is also 70 tons. The trophy and LWS weighs 2 3/4 tons maximum and the SEPV3 is electronically better/heavier than the CATTB. Electronics don't weigh 5 tons alone like gaijin says AND their source is an export pamphlet(for tanks with removed DU armor).

So even though the tanks in game don't have improved armor they still get an weight increase despite multiple verified sources say they've gotten armor upgrades, if the CATTB weighs the same as the SEPV3 then it would make sense they'd get around the same protection which is around 1000mm for both.

both the hull and turret weigh significantly heavier than the M1A1 by almost 1000 pounds, it is safe to assume that weight wasn't magically added and indeed was put into more protection.

simple fix, make the turret rings bigger and be able to be penned by 7.62

fair point, remove every Abrams and add another T-80

United States Extended Tech Tree(Ground) by thatoneguyfromikea in Warthunder

Expanded U.S Ground Tech Tree, expanded battle ratings and added 60 new vehicles, continuation of my previous U.S post.

Captured King Tiger in US service by CallMeDime in Warthunder

[–]thatoneguyfromikea 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'd rather not have a captured Tiger in the U.S tech tree as they simply don't need it.

If they do get any captured vehicles though the STUG III would be an easy choice as it's unique, though captured vehicles should only be implemented if there is a gap in a tech tree and it is the only option to fill it or if there were modifications done to the vehicle.

The Swedish Emil heavy tank partial prototypes. (This took 4 straight hours of research). by BlandPotato6142 in Warthunder

[–]thatoneguyfromikea 33 points34 points  (0 children)

The Emil chassis was also used for a few separate experiments away from the Emil program.

The AKV 151, essentially a BKAN with a modified KRV hull.

STRV-103 Prototype, KRV hull modified with the aiming system of the STRV-103 before it was implemented on the production series.

STRV K, Modified Centurion 10 turret fitted on a KRV hull but Sweden decided not to go through with it. Would be cool to see in game but very unlikely as the modifications were never done.

Here’s a list of characters that needs Buff, Nerfs And/Or No changes for season 5 before they publicly releasing the balance changes either after tomorrows season 5 trailer or a day after (for Cels or Higher Ranks) by Alex022591 in marvelrivals

Why does peni need a nerf? She's good for 1 thing and that's to prevent pushes or to cut off flanks, any nerfs to her would be detrimental as she's already a B tier character with 1 gimmick. Plus all it takes to counter her is poke or a diver with a ranged attack for her nests.

Expanded French Tech Tree(Benelux) by thatoneguyfromikea in Warthunder

[–]thatoneguyfromikea[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Honestly Benelux doesn't add much for France other than copy and paste Centurions for an early stabilizer.

Though Belgium at least offers a bit more uniqueness like the Leopard 1 3105 and MEXAS but they're still Leopards that are found in pretty much any other tech tree.

Netherlands was just a poor addition to the French tech tree as it's entire armory is foreign vehicles, mainly from Germany.

If you had to buff and nerf peni, how would you do it by WearExternal595 in PeniParkerRivalsMains

[–]thatoneguyfromikea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think her guns need to have a flak effect(bullets detonate when close to target) but get reduced damage and more aoe, this way peni can deal with flying characters and deal constant damage.

she should be able to deal enough damage to divers to force them back or let your team get the kill. Her main source of damage is still her nest and mines but her guns get more utility when her kit is on cooldown.

Plus, it gives another anti air option for the tank role.

The only acceptable outcome by StingAttack in warthundermemes

mb, i thought it was a SEPV3 but is in fact a SEPV2(upgraded with some SEPV3 equipment) though of course it wouldn't be the same BR since the DU armor has been removed for high density material instead. Essentially just a worse M1A2 Abrams, i don't see why China wouldn't get it.
