When you outline it that way its even more egregious. how does that compare to other nations in the same time frame like say france or italy (Pre this update)
Well in the same period France got, SK-105A2, MARS 15, ItO 90M, EBR (1951), Leclerc SXXI, ELC bis (1961), VCAC MEPHISTO, M36B2, VAB SANTAL, AMX-32/105, Char 2C bis, Char 2C, AMX-30 Au F1, VBCI-2/MCT30, (and now), Leclerc AZUR and AMX-10M.
Those two Leclerc’s I suppose equivalent to the aforementioned CR2s, out of that whole list I think only two premiums, neither are copy paste things quite interesting premiums. And although ItO 90M and M36B2 aren’t strictly domestic they both fit well, one is French missiles and the other is French service.
So I’d say 11 or 12 complete tech tree additions and 2 complete premium additions.

Despite a decent amount of evidence being available that the L23 round is incorrectly named at best, if not outright fictitious at worst.
Also, could we, for the millionth time, name the Chieftains correctly, make the Mark 10 a Mark 11 and give it thermals, and perhaps give some better Sabot rounds? It would make the Mark 5 relevant by not just making it a near enough carbon copy.
lol emtpy composite places
I seriously hope this is unintended
Apparently a realistic change?
Realistic my backside
Magically removed composite on a Chally 1
Its a well known fact it uses Composites (I mean it used Chobham or whatever its called for gods sake)
Plus if thats the case why doesn’t the DS or Mk.3 have the problem, they didn’t uparmour them that I know of aside from ROMOR ERA
Apparently there is no arc protection rated on the hull, and the sponson section lacks the mounting points for composite the rest of the hull has. To be fair 522mm on the old one is silly at that angle, I’m more inclined to believe the new numbers of 311 than that.
As for why it doesn’t apply to the Mk 3, it’s an updated model that only applies to the Mk 2 currently. Like T-34 85s early model currently having much better protection than the late one.
There may be filling there or may not be, hard to say I suppose, no hard evidence one way or the other.
I’ll ask one of the boyos who I know who will have a whole lot more knowledge on this but it seems incredibly daft.
There’s another photo, this is 1977 so at this point it’s Shir 2 still. But you can see the mounting points for Chobham in the centre hull and none on the edge section.
It makes sense if you’re thinking of lower arc protection as you still have nothing but sectioned off fuel tanks behind there.

Can’t wait for the T-90S to enter in the British tree. Also looking forward to other Commonwealth nations getting their vehicles added.
My main issue is the T-90S is missing it’s main round, similar to how the T80U in the swedish tree is also missing it’s main round. Strange since the vehicles are exactly the same otherwise (BR included).
try to avoid Crying Russian main rampage i suppose
It’s missing the indigenous Indian ammunition which is different from the Russian 3BM ammo
I know you made this comment ages ago, but its a 10.7 tank.
You can now either add a tank that drags your 10.3 lineup to the inevitable full uptiers or you can play it with your 11.7s… where it’ll get blown apart probably.
“Surprise Game Mechanics” - oh wait wrong company. Shouldn’t it be “Balanced as a seesaw”?
this fits so well xD
