Altay T1 (2023) - Factory New

At the moment, yes. It is also the current serial production variant.

Eh we’ve seen more, also we do not know much of composite inserts. It is even speculated boron-carbide inserts is going to replaced with silicon-carbide. Without knowing qualities of inserts and their placement, determining Line-of-Sight thickness does not means much.

“israel” should be a subtree of the USA. Nothing more, just like IRL.

Whatever man

Does this version also have the ammo rack right next to the driver in the middle of the hull?

All of the Altay models has them. Production Altay T1 and its prototypes ought to have isolated hull ammunition rack.

Here you can see hull ammunition of production Altay T1, I’m not sure if it will have isolated ammunition rack as specified.

And here you can see earlier design’s, MTR, FTR, PV1 and PV2, hull ammunition placement. Earlier prototypes were not equipped with isolated hull ammunition rack.

Is the ammunition loadout in the turret the same as the Leopards or the Abrams?

Pretty much yes. All the turret ammunition is stored in bustle-rack behind blast door.

Also armor separating ammunition bustle and crew station is somewhat thick, I don’t have access to my files right now but we’ve seen that there were two overlapping plates separating sections. I’ll post once I can.

Here you can see placement of both hull and turret ammunition.

It looks like it has turret basket

What kind of auto tracking does it have? Because some MBTs already in game (like the Type 10, type 90, Leopard 2A7, etc) are equipped with it IRL, but not in game (yet?)

Yep, we’ve also seen the basket in recent images too.

It is not really specified what kind of target tracking it has. Tracking feature is mentioned on BMC’s website as well as on Gunner/Commander Periscope brochures but thats about it.

Today third production model Altay T1 Main Battle Tank was delivered to Turkish Armed Forces with another ceremony held at BMC Factory.


Today we’ve also seen isolated hull ammunition racks too. There seems to be 20 pieces of ammunition can be stored on the hull. Each sheets has its own containers and individually stored. I’m not sure if it actually counts as isolated racks, I would appreciate if anyone knows/has other examples of isolated ammunition racks on the hull.

K2 Black Panther is coming with the United Korean tech tree, and has no connection whatsoever with anything in the Japan tree.

Italy already has Turkish T129 helicopter and F-104 Turkish Air Force, so it’s possible to add them to Italy. However, if they treat Turkey like they said they’re treating Singapore, it would probably end up as a premium or squadron tank in Korean tech tree since the Altay was based on the K2 development data.

T129 and F-104 were connected to Italy on way or another, Altay is not. I reiterate what I’ve already said, Italy already got Hungary and Romania there is no need for another nation inside Italian Tech Tree. Spain and Turkey can and must go into their own Tech Trees.

Singapore and Turkey is not really in the same situation. If anything Turkey and Korea is more comparable. Neither Korea nor Turkey really needs each other’s vehicles, both can have their Tech Trees.

Thats fair assumption, still I rather have it on Turkish Ground Forces Tech Tree. Also Korea already got quite a bit K2 variants on their own.

Turkey is literally a major military nation that can have among the biggest TT in the game.
You can NOT just compare it to Singapore, its just like if you say that Italy should be a sub tree of France, it makes no sense

They already stated last year they don’t want to add more nations as full trees to the game.
Which seems pretty counter productive but hey ho

What?

The opposite was said iirc. They said they won’t be stopping with adding more nations

They said as sub trees when we asked smin last year on one of the posts if i remember rightly.

Though, they’re prone to saying one thing and doing another.

Exhibit A the announcement of the korean tree.

Whats not to understand.

Genuinely tell me.ill explain what i mean.
