I was about to say something relating to armour but then I remembered we can’t speak about current events lol

Concrete & Sand just popped into my mind suddenly Idkw

doesnt it not also have a larger autoloader to use 3BM60?

(which was then added to the later T-72s)

Yeah. I’d imagine the T-90’s have higher priority for upgrades

Since we discussing autoloaders …

Armata’s:

vertically stored, allows for longer penetrators, 31 rounds, the whole carousel is isolated from crew capsule, so even if penetrated, the whole turret gets to be the blowout ‘panel’/module

… so it’ll just drive around without a turret in game?

I thought penetrator length was limited by a combination of 2pc ammo and breech/chamber size?

They do allow for larger penetrators presumably because they can go more vertical with the unmanned turret, Vacuum-1 as it’s called can only be used on Armata, there were some rumors that T-90M was supposed to receive it as well but as autoloader hasn’t changed it’s not possible for it to be used.

while the crew wouldnt die, in terms of the game it would still kill it as the turret would be launched

Also surely that will count as a turret basket

What if it became a capture point only repair, sort of like how crew replenishment works

Thats pretty funny

I wonder… what can we expect of Arjun? Is there any information available about its armor?

that while funny would also be very dumb

if its the mk1 its gonna have terrible armour (there isnt any composite armour behind the gunners sights so its and easy kill) it also lacks blow out panels so any shot to the turret ammo is also an easy kill

It’s nothing too crazy, a little less than Leopard 2A4 levels until you get to the Arjun Mk. 1A

Don’t forget the “Su-57 RCRS Leak”, which was a patent document freely available for anyone to download off the Russian Patent Office’s website.

…so Mk.1A would be 10.7-level?

Well, U.K does have something of a lineup there, so it may be interesting

Mk. 1A would be 11.3-12.0 since its ERA is a little better than K-5 but still suffers from lack of blowout panels and has the Gunner sight weak spot. Rounds are little weaker, hard to BR it.

Arjun has blow out panels.
