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.

in all honesty I'm not %100 happy about this because of the hundreds of dollars ive wasted to get to teir 5 will I be compensated if/when this update happens or will I be stuck in a loss of my money (I'm on a tight budget and cant afford to be wasting money all the time)
^This. It would be nice if we got compensated for all the extra hours we put into the game which new comers will have to do without due to RP changes. Maybe allow us to be compensated with the surplus RP we spent so that we can redistribute it?
I don't get it, do you not want us to add any more vehicles and expand the game? you haven't lost anything, the vehicles will still perform as well (or badly) as they did before.
Will the Chieftain Mk 5 be getting L15A4 APDS to keep us going until Britain gets something for Tier VI?
No, but the mk 5/4 would get that.
RedTipAlpha, Yeah, they'd have to change the name too.
Dear Gaijin,I'm a plane player,I want to ask you a questione since I can't find the rcorrect section in the forum. Anyway here it comes: You've surely noticed that RB air players comolained a lot about map rotations,and about the lack of new maps in RB air. Are you working on something related to this gamemod? New maps specifically. Thank you!
Complained*,sorry misclicking on my keyboard.
We have plenty of maps for Air RB. We will think on more rotation maybe.
Thulle nice.. but will we see NERA ? instead of explosives rubber ?
Can't wait to see what Germany will get!
Are you gonna add new era planes to?
Right now - nope.
Yay new E.R.A.! Tier 6 finally! Long road still ahead! All fine and stuff. - And now please finally fix the spawnraping problem for RB and the abuse of the SPAA -> Cap -> CAS shortcut
I LOVE YOU Warthunder <3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<3
*grown* oh this is gonna be bad...
What will the Germans get? The APDS on the leopard cant go through the front of a M60 or even a T62 unless you aim for a weakspot smaller than a penny. And with ERA and composite, the shell that can actually do something (HEAT-FS) will just be useless!
a lot of the M60A! isnt even covered by the era, like the lower plate.
