short answer: yes but a little bit and one time use
wood ERA
I mean if it weighs 0kg why not just build a wooden fortress around the tank, if it can sometimes help?
@@jamesrowlands8971 bc heat fs was not a problem back then, also ever heard of a cope cage? its exactly what you js described, only problem is doesn't help much against better heatfs
@@TwixwienersIf the weight was 0, just build a bigger cope cage that'll stop anythung.
@@jamesrowlands8971when does wood weigh 0kg and why would you ask such a question
the most niche P2W scheme ever concocted only allowing you to mog PT-76 players from extreme angles.
Don't be calling it "niche" when we all know that added wood will cause 2x the amount of Gaijin moments. Also massive resistance to HE/HESH for that matter, which was left out in the video.
@@iusdorganisation3576
I mean shooting HE on those spot without the wood would usually do nothing as well. It usually turrent shots or wheel shots that kill with large HE.
I don't know anything about HESH however.
better frontal armor and no grenade launchers on the hull its niche p2w too?
I dunno, my APDS shatters against it lmao
I've shot APDS rounds from my Centurion into a Tiger with its wood and they shattered. TWENTY POUNDER APDS.
@@iusdorganisation3576HE won't do anything if you hit there, and there isn't Hesh at that br useful enough, that's just a stupid argument
So with wood being .1X of regular armor that would mean 100mm of wood is an extra 10mm of rolled homogenous? That seems pretty damn good
pretty good against stock jumbos which have 90mm of penetration
@felixbui9818Pretty sure it's actually 104mm from 10m (where you'd be killing tigers from the side 99% of the time)
@@inthehood1750 i said stock jumbos which only have ap, you need to research the aphe later on
@@inthehood1750no, he said stock jumbos. Stock you get M72 AP shot with 92mm of pen @10m, 0 degree angle.
It might also help against any similar tier HEAT (definitely not any particularly strong HEATFS tho). They're only 10mm against CE too but the spacing away from the hull that the HEAT will be detonating at is significantly further than 10mm so there's an additional spaced armor benefit, especially when coming in from an angle. The benefit they provide might allow for more aggressive angling of the tank against certain rounds, enhancing the frontal armor as well.
what you doing to my wood?
Penitration
Breaking it
Crackin it like a glowstick
Most interestingly, this wood is ridiculously light
Every Tiger1 weighs 57.3 tons
It's wood sticks and branches mostly, if they were actual trees cut in pieces they'd weigh way more due to the volume difference
@@ultimatechad8738Not sticks, these would have been 6" hardwood logs. They weren't carried as armor, but as fascines to fill anti-tank ditches for crossing. Probably added a ton of total weight, but that would be pretty insignificant.
@@obsidianjane4413 Smaller logs, same shit, it's not a whole ass tree is my point
@ultimatechad8738 tied tightly like that it doesn't really matter. They'll add weight all the same because it's about volume, not how big the tree originally was
@@ultimatechad8738 They were whole ass trees. Just cut down into Ikea mode.
My thoughts on it when I seen it was that even though it offers no raw protection it does offer protection by triggering the silly volumetric moments with shells, yesterday with the IS-2 it happened a few times with the wooden logs
Tree [SPAA]
br. 13.0
Tree [Armour]
br. 1.3
Trees are the most powerful AAA.
The wood sometimes prevents penetration from APCR and APDS though
edit: and not exactly edge cases, just 30 degrees angle will stop M41 APDS at point blank for example.. and APCR is even worse, but rarely used anyway
Yep happened to me few days back, with Comets APDS, side shooted the wood and it pretty much negated the round if i recall correctly Tiger wasnt even angled or if so just very slightly, atleast he continued on his merry way not noticing me.
Wood ERA!
I wonder if the distance they set off HEAT away from the actual armor helps too. The logs themselves only offer 10mm of CE protection but are spaced significantly further than 10mm away from the side hull armor too.
The important question is: When do we get the cope cage for the T-80
Prb never, unless WT adds the wartime modified tanks into the game (as premiums ofc, only beefing up the already fat ass Soviet premium block)
Nah the cope cage aren't even T-80 exclusve anymore, the Ukrainians are using the cage with their Leopards and Abrams(Chinese drone curse) too.
You're asking Gaijin for something that would make Russia look bad
It would also somewhat protect from CAS people would slurp that pack up.
Not just cope cage, I want my cope shed for T-90M too
Actual wood armor
Apds shell shattered...
Still not coded as wood armor. A good indicator for armor pen/blast effect would those apc/light tanks with wooden strapped armor used by Filipinos during the marawi siege. That's the latest I know of using wood against light firearms/rpg 2/similar launchers.
There's a picture of a thick stack of cardboard used as armor that looks to have stopped an RPG.
TBF those RPG2s weren't actual rpg2 warheads but just explosives as the terrorists made them in Marawi itself
It only can really stop heat and heatfs and makes Apds spall a lot earlier making do less damage . M56 and T92 have a little trouble with the it
Making APDS do even less damage? oh boy..
also why would the m56 have trouble with it?
Anyone insane enough to use the stinky HEATFS rounds on the m56 instead of the nuclear bomb that is it's APHE shell probably would miss a shot on a stationary target at 10m anyway.
since it's only 0 kg weight, you can stack 10 pack of firewood to have 1000mm armor.
Not blessed by Peenoy engineering but works (somewhat)
It doesnt have free wifi that's why
why are you everywhere
@@Lenevor Because I'm a consistent Zenturion viewer and subscriber?
There is a log on the IS2 n°321 btw
i enjoy your content zenturion7!
I find it works well against low tier heat like the Pt-76's heat-fs round
The first ever ERA
No.
Wouldn't that 10mm extra make it so that jumbos can't sidepen it on the upper hull? I mean they still have lower hull shots but yeah kinda screwed if hulldown.
It's Lo-og, it's Lo-og
It's big, it's heavy
It's wood!
It's Lo-og, it's Lo-og
It's better than bad
It's good!
Even without the armor you're still getting two more Tigers to put in the lineup
Can't wait for gaijin to add concrete armor, that one actually does something, weights a lot more tho
That wood got me predetonating 🤯
Bundle of sticks gives me a chuckle every time. Just because if I were to say it, I’d get cancelled lmao
Can you do this exact angle test for the Pzgr 39 & Pzgr.
Id like to see it tested with shells around 100m pen if there's any shells it makes difference
I love the punchline on this one.
Camo but with armor benefits, very cool gaijin lmao
War Thunder version of wood armor, being weak? Well, have they tried to test if that amount of logs can stop. Shells that are Chemical/Kinetic? It just feels like, they pulled out "references" from the black hole itself. And just called it a day.
Hey! There's a typo in your video; that's an M10, not a Panther.
the 75mm jumbo is pretty dead as with even a slight angle the wood blocks side shots :(
If was The Rússian log works as composit armor
My side-on ARL-44 shots say otherwise....
Ok Gaijin, since we now have wood armor in the game, when will we have an AFP LAV-300 or the V-150 with the improvised wood armor that says "free wifi" on the side?
Sound of 150mm HE cry ?
Wood needed!
This is why American.tankets told not to weigh their shermans down with it, or sandbags. It just didn't do much
But it has 0 weight.
this is rare, i got here early
Spall liners but less effective
Remember, it solely exists to get Tanks unstuck, trees grow for thousands of years for just this reason
But isn't it supposed to act like composite armour against the HEAT shell ?
No. It provides no resistance to the jet. The benefit comes only from the standoff, the jet is less focused.
My wood get hit every day 😢
It shattered my apds round 🤷
PT-76 players in shambles.
💥💥💥
Finally, angle against cHEAT-FS
Okay be honest you've been sitting on that waiting for a chance to use it
theres no one shoots under 200mm pen HEAT at 5.7 or 6.7 tho
but atleast its definitely better than the techtree tigers
Ikv. And what you mean at least it's better more like unfortunately it's better
wood is good
Wood Armor on LAV150... 😁
P2W = pay to wood...
Still propably better than NATO ERA
I thought you meant in real life, not in warthunder lol
Wood armor best armor
항상 저 맨 마지막에 나오는 대사가 진국임 ㅋㅋ
I'm gonna touch you
w video
maybe the filipinos in marawi had the right idea lmao
In game yeah In reality its basically worthless
P2W? Naaa, isn´t P2W no one ever said
