they’ll only add it when the soviets have something 10 years or so newer

They will most probably not do that. They would add SEP V3 before it and add SEP V4 or Abram X or M1E3 with T-14

Definitely agree with that. It’s just a matter of when Gaijin feels its appropiate to add into the game even though we all want it lol.

Yeah that is unfortunately how it goes I was just hoping we would get it this update
I’d say this thing probably will make it’s entry when the Armata comes in, as unreasonable as it may sound.

It is completely unreasonable and stupid, if so gaijin better make it have realistic armor.
They probably will, no use in taking away the DU elements in the LFP as the rest of the tech trees will probably get monsters with giant cannons and unmanned turrets. (M1E3 will probably get here too in proximity to it probably)

Even if they add it, it’s gonna have the same huge turret neck weakspot, and won’t be able to pen russian MBTs UFPs, because they’re gonna release an even stronger russian MBT to counter its better penetration.
Same with potential new 1400mm Leclerc. Won’t be able to pen russian UFP because they’ll release an even stronger one, and will have the same weakspots (everywhere on the tank).
It’s pointless hoping NATO nations will be more competitive if they add X or Y new vehicle.
Same with LAV-25 and its useless nerfed-to-the-ground bushmaster, same with VBCI MKII RCT40 (PHILOCTETES) with both bushmaster and bugged MMP missiles, … if they don’t fix what’s bugged or unbalanced, releasing new vehicles would be useless (except for the look and the lore).

Some leaks have been showing signs of hope :)
What leaks have u been seeing? Probably fake as we didn’t even have leaks for this update. Seems like gaijin shut down the source/leakers or sum.
But we can always cope
F-22, YF-23, Sep v3 with M829A4
trust me

I don’t need to read a leak list to know these things are coming. The question is when and which vehicles other nations receive in the same update. If Russia gets a T-14 or even Obj 195 at the same time, the Sep v3 is going to be DOA.
To be honest, Sep v3 won’t change much in WT anyway. It even loses the LWS and Rosy, only thing it gets is the marginally better turret and LFP armor and the low profile RCWS. Trophy could be added for v2, same as the newer apfsds rounds. Sep v4 would make more sense since it has 3rd gen thermals and keeps the LWS, while having same armor as the v3.

After next update, trust me (low chance for next update)
Won’t it be more armored though? Since the weight of SEP V3 is 66.8t (according to this suggestion) and SEP V4 is 68+ tons (according to the suggestion about SEP V4). Unless they changed something beside the armor which caused the weight increase
V3 and V4 both have the NGAP so weight should be roughly the same. V4 was mostly sensor improvements like the 3rd gen thermal, LWS and some stuff that doesn’t really matter for War Thunder afaik.
The actual weight is very dependent on the configuration of the tank, sometimes people take numbers that include additional armor packages like TUSK or the weight of the tank with trophy APS.
Here you can see that V3/V4 is the same weight:
Sep v3 gets IFLIR (improved forward looking infrared) which is generation 3 thermals compared to the older FLIR which is gen 2
