They have the original opaque radar seeker. All versions from Dual Mode Brimstone onwards have a clear seeker head:

Side note, what happened to the ‘New Authentic Decals’ they stopped in 2022
This baby is one I’ve been secretly waiting for, and not mentioning, because I think it’s probably better than the Armata, and with that 30mm coax, and ultra-trollish front end, too OP for the game. If there’s anything that can give the true end-game USSR experience any hope at all, it’s this thing. It won’t be perfect, all hull pens are likely instant kills due to crewless turret, but it doesn’t matter. This thing was the tank the Russian Federation deserved, and it’s a damn shame it’s not in production now.

The ground radar would also be very interesting, as it would be able to track tanks even through smoke, so the only way to hide would be putting hard cover between you and it
Still too early to be added, however, the same can’t be say about the Obj. 187:
A T-90 with proper reverse gear would be useful and can be added to game RN without being OP.

Khrizantema has the same feature, it works, but unfortunately there’s still no good way to target both ground and helicopter radars manually, just as air radar works (albeit quite clunky as well).

Also very thicc hull armor, that removes the drivers weak spot, and probably increased protection for lower plate.
Remains one of the best ways to upgrade to give Russia a good reverse gear besides the T-84 series and the sketchy T-80BVM(2023) claimed speed of -25km/h

Well at best I think it would only work as a targeting radar, with no ability to search. It’s the weird box on top of the turret to the right side of the Giant CITV
Besides the weird mention in the 292 blog, it’s also been passed to devs, so I think there is a real possibility it’s already being looked at as a future MBT

Would be great at or near the T-90M, the 3rd or 4th hull had GTD-1250’s, and the T-80 transmission which is a massive improvement over the T-90A. Plus the 2A66 armed with 3BM39 should do quite well. I don’t know it’s performance, but the 187 had a custom autoloader to allow for longer pieces, and thus longer rods than available at the time (3BM42). Not to mention it had a tough breach-block that allowed for higher pressure ammunition.
Only thing it didn’t have was a good looking muzzle break, lmao.
It would’ve had the predecessor to Afghanit, so that might be for the APS, or at least dual purpose.
That radar is purely for targeting, hints why it’s only on one side, instead it uses “Microwave sensors” to feed into into the APS

More light vehicles would be cool, like the LAV-25 and M-ATV with a Javelin
Think the US needs more stuff like this

Light tanks/vehicles make the game better for everyone in multiple ways. The M-ATV with Javelin looks like pure cancer though, lol.
Hehe yes
If only we could play as JTACs and buddy lase
What I’d do for a buddy lase mechanic
I dunno why it was denied, it makes zero sense, maybe it’ll come in the future who knows
