We would like to present you a new researchable module for one of the top tanks of the USSR/Russian armored vehicle tech tree – an explosive reactive armor set for the T-80B.
In the previous War Thunder update, we introduced T-80B, a top main battle tank of the USSR/Russian tech tree. In update 1.83 Masters of the Sea, we will introduce a new researchable module for this vehicle – the Kontakt-1 add-on explosive reactive armor. It will significantly boost the tank’s defense against HEAT projectiles, such as chemical rounds and anti-tank guided missiles. In combination with the main passive armour of the vehicle, this will provide increased anti-HEAT protection of up to 850-900 mm, helping it to withstand fire from even the most powerful ATGMs.
You can read about explosive armor and how it works in our devblog.

Challenger 1 Applique and era armor is where Gaijoobles?
Apparently the Challenger 1 is too OP at the moment according to Gaijoobles.
I think that was fitted on the Mk 3, we have the Mk 2, however the Mk 2 should have additional armour over the ammunition storage
T-80B's front rubber skirt deserves physics.. Please .
They better do that shit, if the antena can move, then this can also!
Degman84, i think they need to fix that rubber fender skirt being able to bounce a freaking shell that's totally BIAS in i guarantee intentional
How about ERA on KV-2?
Da, and put it on an Is-4 chassis.
Pytor_, IS-7 chassis...
Sweden in War Thunder when? ;)
Also nice, the T-80 will be able to hold down positions a lot better with this.
Do they have enough tanks and planes for a tech tree though? And which side would they fight on? They were neutral.
gib leo 2a4 dm33
Why? You already have 2 APFSDS.
I_NAMELESS_I, ok and the first one isnt all that good.. why does it matter how many AP rounds it has.. I mean to be honest. DM13 shouldve been the stock round for the 2A4.
Wanna my challenger 1 MK.3 :(((
Leopard 2A4 DM33 or increase DM23 penetration
DM23 penetration is largely correct currently
LordMustang, is it? what about DM13. From my research I've found estimates for DM13 anywhere from 430-460 at around 100m~ I think. I don't doubt you I'm just curious
Seeing as the ERA wasn't added until 1985 does this means Abrams gets its 120mm gun now becaoming the A1? Or will the Abrams actually get it's good 105mm rounds now or it's rounds that can actually pen a T80B anywhere from the front?? Speaking of, and I know this continually comes up... Your penetration values for US and British rounds are WAY low. Saw some under valued German ones too here recently. In fact I saw some over penetrating Russian APFSDS
Im sorry, it appears that you´ve got brain damage
_DeusVult, N o its you that has brain damage deusvult.
Gaijoob plz gib M1A1.
Give the Leclerc and T80U and T90,etc first also quit trying to push for more and more it gets old seeing that some guy asked for the Type 10 from 2010 last I googled the Japan still has yet to have a full fleet of them.
Vitiate_Tenebrae, they have a full fleet
Challenger armour now? Or a new British tank? Russia, Germany and America have gotten new top tier MBT's since the Challenger came out but Britain has only had an SPAA and LFV
Personally the challenger 2 in game is just fine perhaps a couple of updates later they could add another one but the French should have gotten the Leclerc or should be getting it anyway. also you just got the Warrior AFV use it.
Vitiate_Tenebrae, Addition of one vehicle which isnt even that good in this meta doesnt change the fact that britains top tier lineup is incredibly weak.
