Nashorn could carry 40 rounds of the 88mm. Imagine how many it could only carry with the ahistorical 105 mm. No don’t tell me, there was a prototype or blueprint of Nashorn with a 105 that never saw service as usual.

For those wondering what the FV4202 changes entail, it was done off some research by Clanmcwood and The Challenger from the EU forums.

It really is quite the buff to the tank if it goes through.

Does that mean 8.7 will come on other (EU,NA) servers also earlier?

Chaffee is basically a tier vi right now, the only difference is that it is labeled tier v…

I thought all the similar open top TDs had epic comfort :( what about the Sturer Emil?

1) They couldn’t, because that tank’s design truly leaves little room for “upgrades”.
2) We have enough napkin tanks as it is. T71′s merging of a chassis from one company and a turret designed by a different company. T28′s “chin” with a frontal transmission, T28 Proto… T110E4 having a turret, when the T110E3 should have been marked as the E4 (turretless casemate).

check out the last few pics, as they include the actual armor scematics.

also a few quotes:

1. clanmcwood abotu the turret:
No 240mm around the bottom band of the turret (under the dotted line around the base of the turret, 195 across the front with the cradle and trunion pins adding 100mm to this with a 10mm space between the 195 turret armor and the gun cradle, so across the turret cheeks (either side of the turret and the barrel aperture it would be 295 spaced armor)
The dotted parts are internal but would add to armor thickness, (the cradle is 600lbs and each trunion pin is 53lbs of steel so pretty substantial.)

2. clanmcwood about the cupola:
Its not 2 FEET TALL like in game, the bulk of the hatch is 120mm high with a further 70mm to the top of the periscopes so only 190mm tall total, but guys I know you are all dying to know I am in the process of getting all this information down and making a mega post for it. I don’t really want to drip feed stuff as it might get lost in translation.
