speaking of any idea if the devs will do anything about the BMPT “external” ammo belts considering we have very clear proof that its not external and in the crew compartment?
I said the only tank india could provide that would be rank 8 would be the T-90MS not that I wanted it lol god I hope we never see it
True XD
when you look at the actual tank and not add-ons that can go on other Russian vehicles, it really is just a renamed T-72 with some modernizations and a new FCS
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
