Nice... @PINK
Also, HAC is forcing me to let them enter. @Pilotmario
Okay. @Pilotmario
It's the turret shape. The lower front of the turret is steeply angled, similar to the IRL Merkava Mk 1. This proved to be a shot trap, and the tirret was later revised to eliminate this weakpoint. @PINK
Your Victoria must have the same problem, also, can you discount the gap between the turret and the hull. I can never make anything like that flush . . . IOS. @Pilotmario
Umm, that is over 1120mm of RHA, at a decent angle with Kevlarar and graphene as well. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Upon Investigating this Tank. it seems a weak spot is its Front lower part. With a mine I can blow this thing apart.
Hmm. I'm quite sure a few different tanks could take this out in one shot. seems week.
Okay@Pilotmario
In general, reasonably well. We don't like it, simply because it is comparable in price and ability to the M6 Ardent series. Which means it is a viable competitor. Although we can see the commander's cupola is a copy of the M6A1/A2 cupola. Not surprising since the same cupola is featured in the MBT-5, -7, and -8.
Our main concern is the turret design; the front turret between the turret and the hull has a shot trap that could either force the round into the hull roof or into the turret ring. Either case, it can jam the turret or cause a penetration trough the hull roof.
Thanks, how do you think it will fare? @Pilotmario
Interesting. @PINK
