INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the new version of this guide for vehicle armor.

I decided to remake this guide little by little and inclued the new australian armed forces vehicles, in this new version you can enjoy easier color code for armor thickness (count at least 50mm margin), easy to understand weak spot with how many shot needed, and later i will add link to a youtube video with the demonstration.

RESOURCES:

I link you to this reddit post by PostChuckleSyndrome and his insane work.

NOTES:

The number of shot needed has been calculated at 200 m of range and a 90° angle
The armor thickness do not reflect real life and have been determined with game files and assets

For now (04/17/2022) only the MBT as been updated but expect some other change in the next days

MBT

If you playing as a anti tanks or heavy anti tanks i recommend you to immobilise the tank, just wait for the good opportunity, use a high explosive rocket to destroy his track and armored skirt to let the place for the tandem.

if you playing as a anti tanks or heavy anti tanks i recommend you to immobilise the tank, just wait for the good opportunity

In a frontal confrontation the best spot to deal a lot of damage is to shoot the green part in front of the bmp.

In a side confrontation the best spot to deal a lot of damage is to shoot the orange part behind the track to imobilise the tank and try to ammo rack him by shooting just under the main turret (see below).

Rear:

in a rear confrontation just shoot the back in yellow it deal around 50 to 65% every hit.
