That is a hit against top armor and it pretty much looks like 122% damage to me :)

Top-attack ATGMs confirmed for 1.4? :-o :wink:

If you had a mechanic that makes the TOW explode when it's above an enemy armor to simulate top-attack, you'd be correct.

If this was PR, the missile would've passed harmlessly over the tank.

Without that mechanic, a front-armor hit (as well as side and rear) in PR should simulate a detonation above the target IRL.

Hence, without implementing any top-attack mechanic, TOWs in PR should one-shot a tank.

Does anyone remember or have any documentation about the PR: Combined Arms mini-mod? I'm pretty sure that there was a top attack mode for launchers as well as targeting system for armor. Anyone confirm?

It worked by fitting vehicles with laser targets and the missiles being an LT mode basically.

Isn't that how the Merkava currently works in game?

Thank you for nerfing HEAT. Shout out to Zwilling. Just give MEC the T-90 for the love of god, the T-72 nerf is long overdue.

Probably the old T-90S batches. ATGM doesn't matter since it's nerfed.

It is necessary to point out the small proportion of T-90s being operated by Arabs, in the maps with greater tanks count, this ratio would need to be re-created with loyalts restricting 1 T-90 mixed with other T-72s

Nobody cares, the T-72A\M1 just needs to be nerfed into the ground, and added to Grozny. Also makes Sbeneh more immersive without Thermals, and the T-90 can be added to rich Arab MEC without consequence. Nobody cares that nobody operates the BMP-2M, we still have it because it's cool.

BMP-2M is operated by Algeria in huge numbers (1000+) :

1400 BMP-1/2/3

240 BMP-1 Vanilla
760 BMP-1 modernized with the Berezokh turret (BMP-2M)
300 BMP-2 modernized to BMP-2M standard
100 BMP-3

sources :

BMP Upgrades Drive Algerian Modernization

And concerning the T-72 many Arabs country have upgraded their T-72 Syria (TURMS-T), Algeria (T-72M1M)...

For the T-90 syria operate an unknown number and Algeria has 500+.

Those numbers can help the devs to sort out the balance on big maps.

If(/when) the T-72M1 gets nerfed to shit-tier, Militia should get it on some maps ;-) Why not Grozny? I recall seeing one picture from battle of Grozny where militants were driving a captured T-72 and BTR-60(/80).

Grozny LRG:
