We can still get some goofy cold war prototypes like the CATTB, for example, but after that, more waiting.

I still hope to see Sep v4. It was built. The Army just decided not to introduce it. A last M1A2 Abrams with LWS and gen 3 thermals would be nice.

Australia has started taking deliveries of M1A2 sep v3, in an interview one of our tank commanders said they could engage a moving helicopter out to 5km. So I know it has a new air burst ammunition, but does it also have some sort of optical search and track like a lot of IFVs in the game already have?

why its not here yet lol
The later M1s already had the ability to lock the targeting system onto a moving target (like a tank for example). It’s probably been upgraded further to lock helicopters over time but it’s not entirely new. Gaijin would probably model it like IRST if it ever came to the game.

More specifically, most likely uses FLIR auto track to track the thermal signature of the target.

I would imagine they wouldn’t add it at all unless every nation’s current MBTs have something similar. Otherwise they’ll claim it’s unbalanced.

Gaijin has been very reluctant to add digital fire control systems. The only ground vehicle what has a sort of ground auto-track is the Khrizantema, and that’s because it has a ground-track radar.

It is equipped with the Trophy Active Protection System (APS), an Israeli system that intercepts incoming projectiles.
Mind showing more than 2 units that used it?
And no, I’m not talking about SEPv2 demonstrators… SEPv3. In service.
Why do you need this?
Why are you reiterating something that’s already been addressed?
Either you have something constructive to add, such as service-ready M1A2 SEPv3s equipped with Trophy, or you stay out of 3 month old threads.
Don’t even start with this. T80B never got thermals in service. 2S38 is barely even in service, etc. Sepv2 got DU armor on the hull (in training squadron) but we don’t get this like the Russians do.
The list of this bs could go on, this is a literal video game. I don’t even know why you are yapping in a suggestion comment section, go make your own topic

I would also add that all Russian aircraft never had a helmet-mounted targeting system, the only system that was invented in the USSR was used only once on the Su-27 and after that was immediately put into the past.

What? MiG-29 and Su-27 were mostly with HMS.

That’s an M1A2 SEPv2 that’s flipped laterally.
What a beautiful testbed! Still isn’t an operational SEPv3.
Hell, it even has the SEPv2’s HP-CROWS…
“service-ready” has never been an important criterion for the game. We have too many precedents where it was not met, but it is already in the game. As for Trophy on SEPv3, at least RDECOM writes about such a configuration of the vehicle for transportation. But, IIRC, “Trophy ready” it is for SEPv3 FM set 1.

Start with… What?
Ignoring how egregiously off-topic it is, I couldn’t care less if the T-80B’s thermals get removed. Revert it straight back to the 1982 model for all I care, I’d even accept a 1979 T-80 and be happier with that than whatever frankenstein’s T-80 we have now.
Then remove it? It tells a lot that you have to bounce around to dozens of irrelevant arguments that I don’t even subscribe to.
Russian armor profiles are still running off of pre-production arrays. The T-80B 1979/1982/1983/1985 that we have currently is as far from realistic as AW’s T-80B, and the T-80U 1985/1992 that we have in the TT is anachronistic in every form. Even the '86 T-80UM-2 has 2 major asynchronous armor profiles.
The SEPv2 got everything in the world, as that was America’s prime testbed throughout the mid to late 2010s. I couldn’t care less what was tested on it, as nothing came to fruition and the later Abrams development got gimped in its entirety by America’s military industry’s reluctance to spend money on foreign hardware.
Your list can be kept somewhere else, as it’s very clear you don’t want to debate the topic at hand.
I never said “in service”, I said “service ready”. I’m not asking for a jerry-rigged modification on a non-combat ready SEPv2, I asked to show an instance of a SEPv3 in its factory configuration showing the ability to carry Trophy.
So far, it’s only been 2 SEPv2s.
