We are happy to introduce some new features of the next Major Update 1.71 “New E.R.A”: composite and explosive reactive armour for the ground vehicles!
When rounds that could penetrate up to 400mm of armoured steel were invented, engineers had to find a new approach to tank protection. One of these solutions became composite armour - protection that consists of several layers of different materials, and though it has significantly less mass than conventional steel armour, it is equally durable.
The second option was reactive armour. Such “armour” consists of metal containers with explosives and metal plates. When the container is hit - the explosive jet causes detonation and the plates “fly towards” the jet, thus the jet penetrates new sections of the plates losing focus and penetration.

And germany has none of those toys... Glass canon it is (again)
German bias will come, geduld mein Freund!
Thulle_, Ick freu mir druff! :D
not even glass canon, just the glass..
*Arkel-99, you will be disappointed when the bundeswehr show up
Reactive armor? Nice! Maybe now people will stop flipping out about ATGMs.
Those players will just ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° react͡° ͜ʖ ͡° differently to them now.
they will just shoot it off with MGs and then fire their ATGM
RePlayBoy101, GL sniping the plates with mg's at 1km plus. The mbt will react in time and put you down before you can remove some plates.
I hope americans get somethingm ore than a M60 to fight the T-64A
Of course there will be more American additions eventually, this is just a beginning - we have a long road in front of us. But not everything can come in this particular update, there is a lot of development going on at the same time. Have on mind we are developing aicraft, tanks, Naval forces, we have recently released Italian aircraft, Japanese tanks and now ERA6 vehicles - that's a lot of releases for one year. Give us some time and we will supply you with more cool modern vehicles.
All answers (11)Thulle_, No, I meant in this patch. I know the Abrams, Leo 2A5 , Challanger 2 and T90 will come at some point but right now the 105 is less than reliable. If we have to use this same gun against T-64A with such kind of mobility I don't see my playing any high tier allies till we get something comparable. A few ERA plates don't justify a new tank at a new BR like this M60 seems to be, since the APDSFS will just cut through it like a hot knife through butter.
No, they wont. The american will only have M60A1 RISE (P) with no APFSDS.
All answers (5)battleship220, It will get APFSDS, the M735... Atleast I read that on M60RISE devblog
But how até you planning to do with other nations? The British had some later chieftain version with compositor armour, but the germans only got that with Leo 2 that is a 1980 tank that would require more modern tanks like a t 80 early Abrahams, etc...
Keep an eye on our website and Gamescom Stream! We will soon release more devblogs and show you other ERA6 vehicles!

Woa woa, lets all just get off our high horses for once and be grateful for all that's been done! This is BY FAR the most productive year I've ever seen, in the past 4 years playing. Back when ground forces came out, we couldn't even comprehend them adding a tier VI as tier V was already insane. Now we're gonna see ERA and Composites!? You all should know that everything comes in time...Just look back at all that's happened and be grateful for all they've done this year, and will keep doing!! o7
