Curious about this new Atharva main battle tank India had made. Essentially a T-90S turret mated to a T-72 ‘Ajeya’ hull. It’s not like reinventing the wheel, the vehicle still retains the powerpack of the T-72 ‘Ajeya’. Specs in link.
Edit: Likely to expedite/simplify production and maintenance which would significantly help overall. Also added a picture.
I used to think India had nothing going for it, but stuff like this helped change my mind.
Even if I have it your way, not excluding fin copy-pasta, Sweden early has more unique aesthetic than most chinese early-late mid tree for example. (the only unique chinese thing was the M8 which americans cried so much they didn’t get it even if it’s theirs lol) Or the israeli one until like merkavas.
It’s unique and makes production easier for India to produce.
Strongly disagree, but we have gone over this literal weeks ago where I had already proven you wrong.
Prove what? That whatever T-34 gai or whatever chinese have is so utterly original? Give me a break with arguments like these. They’re just like the canadian M4 argument. It’s a literal M4, looks like a M4. Let’s have a tree for it, no?
Cmon, why don’t you join my side. I’m not against the stupid vehicle, let’s have the canadian M4. But not a whole canadian tree for it and some like other 3-4 american lookalike tanks ffs.
I most humbly decline, because I can’t bring myself to agree with someone who has such contradictory opinions.
whatever going to play some lewd game. I’m tired of debating against copy-pasta.
It doesn’t surprise me a person like you would be into such things
“even god likes pretty things”
And here it shows you don’t do your research. Canada is not a C&P nation even less so if you say lookalikes are, as America is the one that copied some of the Canadian vehicles.
Also, if this becomes a new standard for the Ajeya platform, as well as the new Zorawar Light Tank, things are going to get spicy. Right now:
India has a lot of new equipment rapidly being produced, what makes them difficult for a tree is the earlier tanks. Still cool nonetheless. Not even including there planes and helicopters like the Prachand, Rudra, and Tejas.
I mean we all were assuming they’d get an Isreal-style tree in the first place.
As much as I’m not a fan of said tree type I’ll still take them and their nations.
I think with there new developments, an Israel-style tree is an option but I’d have to take a look at a template again because the last one I trialed was unsuccessful for Ground, Air, and Naval (at least imo).
There’s still a chance for it down the line since all we have is the T-90S and the Vijayanta as a squadron and premium which can be easily swapped vice a full line or mixed in Indian vehicles.
What are these Avartha and Zorawar?
The Atharva is the T-90S/T-72 hybrid I posted earlier and the Zorawar is India’s new light tank that’s supposed operate in high altitude environments like the ZTQ-15.
Aye, that’s sick
From a glance it seems that Zorawar is not yet ready though, so we’ll have to wait and see on that one.
Yeah it’s going to take some time, there’s a prototype about done I believe (which could constitute implementation seeing how we got the Challenger 3 prototype). Think of it like the more recent version of the South Korean K21-105 but it should have a higher power/weight ratio.
haha no. pakistan is already a sub nation on china and their vehicles should be added there, maybe india could go to britain? tho most of india vehicles are copy paste
Pakistan isn’t a sub-tree for China, they simply have one aircraft in the Chinese tree.
