J/APG-1 is the datalink system, it’s required for the full capability, but not in general.
For example early F-2 models already used AAM-4s before they were modernized with J/APG-2 and J/ARG-1. This way AAM-4 would need o rely solely on IOG, and then only lock within the 15km seeker lock range (16km in game I think), but with no datalink input.
As much as improved reverse speed and better thermals are good… it doesnt bring much difference from existing 80BVM. Wonder if they’re planning on installing Arena-M APS on them too (since T-72B3A with it was apparently spotted in you know there and T-90M being delivered last year)
I can’t wrap my head around how it doesn’t bring much of a difference, especially the mobility aspect. It’s also more “future-proof” in that if even newer rounds were to be introduced, the 2023 version would be the top tier tank in the Russian tree to receive that treatment.
Given that Gaijin is intent on pushing toward more and more modern stuff, WW1 planes and tanks are incredibly unlikely for at least another five or so years.
True about the round (although without change in protection across the board I dont see a need beyond 3BM60. It already pushing (and WESTFOR never shutting about “There’s our better rounds?!”).
As for mobility… -11km/h already isnt that bad, it aint -4.2km/h of T-72/T-90. 9 more k/h is nice, but it wouldn’t change T-80 in any drastic way
(And that is if actual changes actually, you know, exist. The “”“-15km/h”“” of T-90M was already laughing stock)
That doesn’t sound right. J/APG-1 is a/the radar here which, to my knowledge, cannot communicate with the missile without the transmitter which is J/ARG-1
In the context of an EJ Kai, I don’t think this will be practical or good. No HMD and no TWS,. Have to hard lock to send the missile, essentially mad dog, in a general direction
Meh not even 5. They don’t care to the point that this stuff won’t be added like, ever ( as well as the QoL and non top tier variety they oh so advertise).
I doubt this change. I didn’t see any reliable news about it changed transmission.
For now, it’s just another “T-90MS has more reverse speed” to me
-20kph needs another reverse gear, and will result in significant visual change to it’s transmission’s appearance, like Ukraine T-84.
What annoys me the most is that in one of the updates it was mentioned that if you report a player and he gets a punishment (ban or permaban), you will get information about that player in the system administration. Until now, people have not received anything like that even if they report a player.
I have gotten 3 messages about people I reported being punished? I’m not sure if it was in system administration specifically, but definitely in the ‘all’ category.
