Every other new rank addition has had at least 2-3 new vehicles. I think it’s no different for rank VIII ground.
T-90M was leaked and a new Leopard 2 was confirmed. Seeing as the US never really misses out on a new addition together with a new rank I think a new Abrams is also very likely.
Nah, that rule broke with Rank VI naval as I said earlier. Yes T-90M and new Leopard 2 will be high priority. But they will be all. No other new MBT, just M1A2 SEP, Challenger 2 BN/E, T-80BVM, Type10/TKX, Lelerc Azur/Strv122 moving to Rank VIII.
I mean if we go with the hypothesis that said leak was true and the US receives the M1A1 HC USMC as premium and SEPv2 for rank VIII, I wouldn’t be suprised if they did the same for Germany.
Something 11.3 like one of the Leopard 2 variants close to the 2PL. Leopard revolution with DM43 max maybe?
Also I read once on old 90s russian magazine about french proposal/offering for export named T72 T21, however I dont think it was bought. In theory it could be installed on any T-72 variant.
10K messages have nothing to pay attention to, isn’t it because there is no information to talk about? If you’re willing to put some news out, I think our forum will be much more interesting
Its french proposal and i meant Gaijin could add it to french TT with some of T-72 Slovakia has (IIRC it was offered to them) Sadly that means basis is T72M1 basically in game T72A from 9.3. If it was bought it would be the basis ofc.
The Extreme Service Condition Pressure (ESCP) is raised from 672 to 700 MPa, the Permissible Maximum Pressure (PMP) from 710 to 735 MPa, and the Design Pressure from 740 to 760 MPa. This pressure increase is vital to obtain the performances increases that the two rounds under development will bring with them.
The first one to enter service will be the DM73, which should reach qualification by year-end and will ensure an 8% performance increase over current DM53/DM63 rounds.
The article doesn’t say if L55A1 improves performance for existing rounds, it just says that it increased allowable pressure for the more newer rounds and future rounds
Since the barrel is the same length as the normal L55, I don’t really think there’s going to be much or any difference between DM53 fired from L55 or L55A1.
We also worked on a T family (T-54? Can’t remember… doing research right now) where we put one of our 105mm on it, could be a fun squadron (since we also don’t have any squadron vehicle for now…)
