French tanks have Eirel Soft kill APS modeled, was just wondering if that was eventually coming to game as a mechanic

Did this have this technology in 1989? as far as I know APS is still pretty new

It might be why their front armour is so high, because it is still 30% more than IRL.

the Eirel is modeled on the Brenus so I assume it's in timeline

The EIREL wasn't added until to the AMX-30B2 until 1991.

Meanwhile, the BRENUS (in it's in-game form) is actually based the AMX-30B2 GOLFE, which was the ERA upgrade package. Although a bit confusing, Eugen chose to use the "Brenus" name due to its famility, as no one would know what the heck a "Golfe" is.

EDIT: After looking a bit deeper into the EIREL APS system, it would probably be too much of a mechanic hassle to implement outside of a extremely granular military-simulation.

The EIREL counters IR-guided missiles, but nothing else. That means it could provide defense against Bassoon and Konkurs ATGMs, but would do nothing against Malyutkas (MCLOS), Kobra/Agona (radio-guided) or Svir/Refleks (laser-guided) missiles.

fair enough, that would be a lot of work for something pretty niche

I can't find much on the difference between Golfe and Brenus

The APS (Trophy) has been used on the Merkava for the first time since 2010.

What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?
