DU shell and Odermatt equation and Leo2 in this game

Post by exsonic01 »

It was also discussed during beta forum, it seems that Odermatt equation kinda underestimates the penetration performance of DU long rod when compared to known estimations. As far as I remember (I only checked M829 series), degree of underestimation was not that huge, but I think it was around 50mm at 2000m.... And I remember Nikolas answered he knows about the issue of low-performing DU shell under Odermatt equation and he was thinking about this issue.

Any plan to fix this? Maybe we could give DU more density value for equation than known value to fix this, or there might be other methods.



Also, I remember some beta player brought Swedish army test result, which shows the 3 different stages of Leo 2 tank front armor (based on time frame). And he claimed that Swedish army test indicates the defensive performance of T-80U in current AB is little bit overestimated. I'm not sure where those data are... but it was worth to check. Did you checked those materials back then?

Protection of high end Soviet tanks was lowered after beta testing, as was penetration adjusted on German, US and Soviet rounds (although we got a consensus on more conservative estimates for all of them). Different Leopard 2 packages were added in latest patch (although in order not to mess the database too much, I gave it to all Leopards after 1987, while it probably took some time to retrofit the whole fleet).

M829A1 is also available sooner in latest patch.
