Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

yesaaag, I was hyped for the Benelux sub cause belgium operated some (to a CVRT lover) interesting variants, but nooothing

Hopefully the Thai sub comes with their FV101s, but Im probably going to be disappointed

Gaijin plz

Yeah, we have multiple threads by now:

Gaijin only knows how to dissapoint minor nations.

Ok, let’s do a T-84 recap;

As far as I know, it would be comparable to a T-90M gameplay wise, right?

Does it have spall liners?

I don’t know.
It’s a Ukrainian tank for Thailand, which Russia will not get. So… I wouldn’t count on it, even if it has it IRL.

From my understanding, it doesn’t but it does have better maneuverability (35km/h reverse speed) and slightly better ERA at the cost of poor munition choices (except the Kombat GLATGM which is tandem-HEAT w/ 800mm+ of pen)

IIRC, it uses the best Chinese round: Type DTC10 125mm APFSDS

T-80UD-ish base. (a different UD from those in game)
MBT-2000 powerpack.
Relikt-ish ERA (although fundamentally different). Probably will perform worse or same in game.
I don’t think it has spall liners.
Might be given (pity) Chinese DTC-10-125. Thailand has those and the round is backwards compatible with older autoloaders.

That’s what I thought it was issued in Thailand but I couldn’t remember, I appreciate it.

basically a better Pakistani T-80UD with Relict like ERA (supposedly better, but it’s non-russian ERA sooo), held back by poor ammo (3BM42 equivalent or possibly BTA4/DTC-125)

Shame DTC-10-125 is underperforming so brutally… but glad it won’t be stuck with 3BM42 at least!

Eww, lawnmower engine sound, then.

That sounds nice!

What about reload? 6.5?

Yeah, it will be the same as the UD

Well, they don’t use Relikt ERA in real life. They use some sort of foam/rubber.
It’s very much overperforming ingame, but that’s just for Russia, otherwise their tanks would be the worst ingame without a possibility to get something better.

Yeah, the DTC-10-125 should have around 680mm of pen IIRC.

Oplot for China through Pakistani Trials.

I actually wouldn’t mind that TBH.
Put it in the TT ASAP!

Also, if I remember right, T-84 had first three layers of it’s armor removed to fit Duplet.

I think T-80UD has… 5 layers? So that’s 2 inner layers left? 🤨

No clue…

Yeah, it has only 2 layers left because of how thick Duplet-2M is
