How effective is spaced armor?

This video turned out much differently than I planned...

Note: some of these bugs have already been fixed, so expect things to run more smoothly when trying it out.

I don't know whenever this proves that "spaced armor works" or "Sprocket doesn't work"

months ago i made "stalinium", a mesh that's hundreds of 1mm plates spammed at +/-5° angles, since sprocket makes any shot ricochet at >85°, regardless of thickness, inside of a 25° elevation to target, it makes it so you always have a plate that's at least at this angle of incidence, making it completely unpenetrable.
all while being about as light as a 35mm plate

Hamish feeling a little silly when deciding that fuel tanks are more lethal than ammo racks

[Switzerlad-xs]

I have a idea, after they fix the bugs and make the update. They should make it to where the armor can wear out after getting shot at a couple of times in the same spot.

[WalletWorrier]

Finally! Like a year ago I made spaced "composite" armour on many "MBTs" for historical snd style reasons. It's super cool that they will finally have an actual functional advantage! Hopefully this gets refined to be more accurate.

3:17 looks like that other guy took jacob 2 for a drive

[jar-jarnotbinks]

tank goes boom because computer thinks ammo are parts of the tank

[theobserver]

would be even more fun when the shell designer is added

[theporschetiger]

I can't stop laughing at the tank in the background hahahah

Bro has discovered the ways of crossout

aww i wanted to see how spaced angled armor performs

[Rolf-son-of-an-electrician]

I thought the point of spaced armor was to allow the projectile to tumble between penitrations, so the energy of consecutive impacts would be less focused.

[meinungsfreiheit]

Working freeform spaced armor is a really nice change, since we previously had to use the restrictive singular armor plates. I made a cool leclerc this way, but now you get much more possibilities.

"Before the update, it was a roll of the dice if the shell penetrated. Now, it's even more unpredictable!"

[PivotCyroy]

I feel like at the moment velocity makes shells do weird stuff as well. I have a vehicle that has a total of 4 plates at different angles, total direct thickness of about 120mm, effective thickness of about 300mm and a 30mm shell with 130mm of pen, going about 1000m/s went through it like butter. It only stopped penetrating when the actual thickness of the plates (not counting angles thickness) exceeded the penetration of the shell.

man every time I look at sprocket development, I get more impressed. I remember when it was super barebones.

8:36 I love how the second tank in the background implies this is not a mere test but a geneocide of jacobs

[auburn]

I've made a merkava inspired tank with interal compartments divided by 30mm armor plating, safe to say it's very well protected while staying lightweight, because it allowed me to reduce the thickness of the UFP and LFP

[CaptainKapitan]

Man I should start playing sprocket again, last time I played there wasn't even any crew or interior....Like two years?
