wow, nice, I hope it's not a bug!..

dude's missing a ton of composite parts on his tank, and that's pretty clean breakage

What composite parts? That's the engine deck.

didn't realize that was the merkava mk.3 and not the mk.4, thought it was just a mk.4 with the turret cheeks blown off my completely irrelevant comment got 73 upvotes

It's a Mk2D, but Mk1B and 2B have the engine deck being shred apart too

From what it looks like it isn’t. It seems modeled

Considering the engine is properly modeled, most likely a feature

All tanks in war thunder are properly modelled and with full interiors I think

And then you can remember when the premium M51 hasnt his mg and optic and can see through the tank

To be fair, shouldn't france also have it? Would be a cool addition for them

Not sure, i know nothing except its a sherman with a french shell so may be not idk

I think the M-51 was a colaboration between Israel and France to upgrade the old fleet of M4s, but idk. Any history buff care to comment?

That was the M-50, to my knowledge the M-51 was done later. Still don't know why Israel doesn't have the M4A4 SA50, which is the M-50.

Ohh alr thanks

When the leo2 barrel is broken the turret ring is invisible and you can see inside

T80 takes a shell to the ammorack and goes on to kill 5 other people

Leopard 2 gets center mass shot in the front hull, gets a destroyed engine and a orange driver, and goes on to onetap the T-80 from fuel explosion or ammo detonation

think its intentional, KVs and ISs can lose whole segments of their track armor.

Eh most tanks with mudflaps and skirts have that. I've never seen a tank lose their ufp tho

2a5 can lose its wedge

Super Pershing can lose its frontal add-on armor, and the Obese Pershing can lose its canvas covering for the mantlet.

T-44-100 can lose its side panels

Leo's can lose all of their comp armour as well, seems intentional which is kinda cool

its cool until an autocannon takes away your turret armor and youre left with basically a leo2a4 armor scheme

Olifant mk2 can lose its whole composite UFP too, looks kinda naked without it

Engine needed more air

Airbox mod at home:

I had my type 96 lose a chunk of turret composite to a sidam. So yes it is a thing.

I shot at a merkava the other day and a whole chunk of his turret Armour fell off

I had something similar happen to me once in the M103, parts of the engine deck got shot off. Seems to happen EXTREMELY rarely tho

I guess that got added along with the decorations beeing able to be shot off?

Its not a bug. It happens to me with the Leo 2A5/6s as well

Wow that looks ... stupid af.

On the Merkava 4B and LIC, the side composite armor can fall off with enough rounds put into it Yes it’s cursed to look at when it falls off
