In the game World of Tanks there are a lot of terms and abbreviations. Not every gamer knows the decoding of NLD. This word appeared in the game back in 2010, during closed alpha tests. It means a certain place in the armor of the tank. Decoding NLD is one of the most vulnerable parts of the machine. However, if a person knows the mechanics, then he will be able to protect his unit from enemy fire.
Decoding NLD
This abbreviation refers to the bottom sheet of armor. It is on almost all machines. The literal meaning is the lower frontal part. There is a small amount of armor in this place. Also on some tanks in the place of the NLD is the engine. If the enemy enters this part of the vehicle, a fire may result. Also in the lower armor plate is often very weak armor. Having learned about the decoding of NLD, you can calculate the tactics of the game:
The part is a continuation of the bottom of the machine. Most gamers believe that the forehead is the strongest part of the tank. However, only in VLD there is a lot of protection.
The bottom sheet of armor is not intended for tanking. Since this place is very thin steel. To repel shells using NLD will only work on the KV-5 or T-95.
- You can hold back a hit with the “Reverse Rhombus". When the gamer completes the body, the reduced armor increases in the lower part of the frontal part. Thanks to this, the NLD will be able to rebound an enemy shell.
This part of the tank is not the most vulnerable. It is best to penetrate enemies into command towers, hatches, machine guns. In addition, NLD is easy to hide. To do this, find an obstacle. Since the bottom sheet of armor is small, you can cover it behind the irregularities of the map.
What is the part for?
NLD greatly affects the gameplay, as it acts as a weak point of an armored tank. As a result, players will hide this part of the car. To break through an armored tank without gold is almost impossible. However, the player will be able to heal the lower frontal part. A person can defend himself only if he moves actively. Thus, the projectile can ricochet.
On some nations, this penetration zone causes critical damage if an adversary hits it. If a gamer shot a German tank, then he would break the engine. In some cases, a fire may occur. German tanks have strong VLD, and NLD is very weak. During the game you need to use knowledge and heal the weak spot in order to inflict a lot of damage.
How to play with poor NLD bookings
On some machines, this part is durable. However, on most tanks it is weak. In such cases, play from the sides. Thus, the gamer covers the bottom of his tank. NLD is most often located behind cover. You can also use the tactic “Diamond position”. In this position, the enemy will not penetrate the lower frontal part. With the right angle of rotation in the forehead, the armor will increase from 40 mm to 120 mm.
Also in this position, opponents will ricochet shells. Especially if sub-caliber ammunition is used. Experienced players recommend always turning the body. Even if the car this part of the armor is protected. This is due to the fact that the enemy can use a gold shell, which completely penetrates even the armored NLD.
