Kieme(ITA) Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I have never seen a damage model display from BFC, maybe we will never see one. But I hope some tweaks will be done to the vehicles top armor, if it's needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzersaurkrautwerfer Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Also worth noting the pictured armor thickness is for the baseline M2 circa 1987 or so. It lacks the armor that came in the A2 model which added a lot of protection at significant weight penalty. Also the numbers losted.... They look wrong even for the early model brads. Still genuinely doubtful anything would react well to a direct 120 mm mortar hit. The react to incoming drill was generally to boogie out of the impact zone precisely because driving off after getting hit by anything from the sky was good luck vs expected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 (An interesting aside...a lot of websites show similar req'ts for fieldwork resistance to 120mm mortars and 122mm howitzer. If anything, I would've thought the howitzer would've been a lot more effective at penetration. This is not borne out by what I saw on the web. So...120mm = 122mm apparently...) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieme(ITA) Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Yes, 120mm mortar = 122 howitzer also in terms of tests/results in game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool breeze Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Some day we will probably get more specialty AT arty and bombs. Don't Russia and the US have a lot of smart AT DPICM? Im thinking about the kinds that deploy the hockey puck smart bomblets that look for their own target to hit 'em with HEAT from the top or EFP from the top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Here's a pict of a Bradley turret, you can just make out the thickness of the bolt-on armor covering the rooftop. That's a good inch of 'something', probably not steel. You haven't seen a 'naked' Bradley without a hefty layer of applique ceramic armor since the mid-80s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTR Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Would that stop 152mm round do you think? I am not sure about 120mm, maybe it can go both ways depending on where the round lands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 T-72 after direct hit from 152mm HE: Apologies for thread necro, I thought there was a more recent one but I can't find it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artkin Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Sorry if I came off rude that wasnt my intention. Hard to judge damage without them all being the same tank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinophile Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Man, the concussive effects. Owwwww.... Any tankers here got experience/second hand accounts of crew reaction/conditions after a direct 152mm hit? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublime Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) speaking of concussive effects I just read one of the most vivid first person accounts Ive ever read about Vietnamese civilians caught out in the open near where an Arc Light B52 cell dropped its bombs and civvies were near the hit. My god just the concussion from the blasts... roughly 1km away IIRC - dead all over. Eyes bleeding ears bleeding mouths bleeding. Some interesting stuff I wish had been explained more about it doing something to your lungs.. All in all sounds horrific. Im sure the grid eraser MLRS isnt a nice thing to be on the end of either. ( of course a 152mm is NOT a caliber to laugh at) Edited June 18, 2018 by Sublime 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
