advanced era
 

how does the advanced era actually work in sp ?

what does it protect from and what does it not ?

seems to me pretty random protects against anything when it feels like protecting ?

If you need to know the technical nuts and bolts details, then the Mobhack help is the place to go usually.

Mobhack Help -> Units Tab -> ERA Paragraph.

Not wishing to sound rude but take half an hour to read the manuel. Realise it may not be your first language but you ask a lot of questions half of which are covered in it. Anything you then dont understand I will be happy to try & explain if you PM me

And if you are interested in how it works in the real world the following article provides a nice summary.

Re: advanced era
 

is it possible that tank that does not have been hit in combat with advanced era 8 is hit and the hit ignores era completely and hit's the norma larmor instead ?

"Numbers from 1 to 10 on a facing are ordinary ERA. Numbers from 11 to 20 are Advanced ERA"

i have never seen era valua greater than 8 and that was advanced era

why ?

Re: advanced era
 

Yep, it is possible. Random numbers and all that. Check out say front ERA of T-90 (real-life I mean), you'll notice there are huge gaps around the gun for example.

Several times, my Bradley still got destroyed after its ERA "defeated" the heat.

Re: advanced era
 

ERA does not always protect against multi charge weapons. To quote the game manual: “Multi charge ATGM have a higher chance of defeating ERA than plain vanilla HEAT.”

Example of a tandem-charge weapon: The Russian RPG-30

The ‘decoy’ (1) detonates the reactive armour and the main warhead (2) penetrates the compromised area.

Re: advanced era
 

Actually no, that small RPG-30 rocket is intended to set off active defence systems (AKA CIWS in-game), the weapon itself is plain jane RPG-27 with tandem warhead against ERA.

Re: advanced era
 

The small rocket is indeed designed to set off CIWS and the warhead is indeed a plain jane RPG with a tandem warhead. I did not know that CIWS was different from ERA in game terms.
