Engine displacement and armor thickness

[ABetterName]

Can the upper limits on both of these be increased? As it stands you cannot replicate accurately the engines of most tanks due to them having displacements in the 10-30 liter range, or the real armor thickness of certain tanks due to it being impossible to have 200+mm armor.

I suspect that the 200+mm of armor is gonna be something akin to a Post-WW2 era thing, and as for engines that sorta thing might be developed after a bit of time.

Could you clarify what you mean? Current maximum displacement is 80L (5L on V16).

That's not how engine displacement is calculated though, so either it should be changed to reflect the actual engine displacement or be re-labeled as cylinder displacement.

As for 200mm+ armor, tanks at the end of WW2 already had armor that thick. T-55 had a 203mm turret front, etc.

if you type a number into the armor thickness field you can increase it up to a maximum of 500mm

T-55 was post ww2. T-54 was closer but even then its prototype was made 1945/1946 and the original prototype was just a T-44 with the new gun and slight larger,but same shape/design,turret

There should be no reason that the armor tops out at 150mm, though. T-55 is not far enough post-WW2 for it to matter, in fact with WW2 technology you can reasonably make tanks up to T-62, M60, or Chieftain, barring fire control and other things that don't really matter to this game.

Oh no i agree with you that you should be allowed to have armor higher than 200. But I am saying in your original wording I would not call T-54 or 55 a ww2 tank,I would still call them post ww2 since production models still came out after the war ended by a matter of years. But I agree with the armor since one spot on the King tiger stat wise has armor listed up to 185mm instead of 150mm. The maus is listed to have 150-220 depending on where you look. The IS-3 (though public demonstration came after the end of the war by a matter of days) I would call a ww2 tank vs the 54 and 55 had armor (Depending on source) up to 200. The sherman jumbo had i think 175? Depending on where you look on the tank

it doesn't, you can manually type in any thickness you want to a maximum of 500mm.

You shouldn't need to manually type it in.
