Leclerc Tropicalisé, would be a step up from the SXXI without making the jump to XLR. (This could possibly replace the AZUR so it can come as an armor modification)
•) ATO RWS w/ FN MAG
•) Europack w/ MT-883 Ka-500 (Leclerc isn’t advertised with Ka-501 which also is only rated at 1,500)
•) Automated Turret & Drive functions
•) External auxiliary diesel generator
•) HL-80 Commander sight & Alis thermal caméra and rangefinder
SK-105A3, because stabilized AMX-13. (I thought the Yonkav-2 was stable, but this also comes with applique armor like the Yonkav)
•) M68 105mm
•) Applique armor
Su 24 is one of the Russian planes that should be added to the game because Russia’s TV-Laser guidance systems, similar to the CAS planes that the USA and other competitors have, are insufficient and this deficiency (I’m talking about zoom capacity) can be easily eliminated with a plane like Su 24. China’s purchase of the JH 7 and the USA’s purchase of the A111, an aircraft that can satisfy the CAS hunger and make it more balanced, shows that it is now time for Russia to purchase an adequate CAS/bomber aircraft.
Would like to see the F-15, F-18 for Sweden (or the Gripen), Rafale and Typhoon (P) to compliment it. Don’t care if the SU34 wouldn’t be able to compete 1-1 with them in air-to-air, willing to take that loss.
Or a TGP for the Mig29SMT with the ability to carry laser weapons.
I personally Su-34 basic located after Su-24M & Su-24M2 Fencer-D at bomber line, Su-34 could be 12.7 BR min or 13.0 BR max
Sukhoi Su-34 carry 3rd generation targeting pod Sapsan-E, so MiG-29SMT (9-19) could carry Sapsan-E too
I guess gajin might consider Rafale LF.1 (French Navy), Eurofighter Typhoon FA.2 (RAF) and Eurofighter DA (Luftwaffe & Aeronautica Militare) at the same time but after 2023
Well, it doesn’t accel at air to air, only pulling ~9G while losing a ton of energy (though probably with decent AOA). So in Air-RB it would serve at best a missile carrier (with a loadout capability kind-of comparable to the F14B), and at air to ground, it only really slightly outpaces the current loadouts on the F16C. It has ground radar but things that have them in game now, such as the MI-28, well, no one really uses it due to the difficultly and lack of practicality.
13 br maybe, if it was allowed to carry it’s full load of A2A ordinance.
Poland had a blood feud with Germany, only reason they stopped is because they hate Russia more.
Ukraine has had a blood feud and would rather fry the servers then be put under Russia. Only reason they’ve been calm is because they’ve been left on their own post Soviet collapse.
Turkey has M60 and F-16, but they’re one step away from getting kicked out of NATO because they keep pissing the U.S and the rest NATO off.
South Korea has a blood feud with Japan still, they only called down because they hate China more.
North Korea makes sense.
Iran and Israel? That’s like putting the U.S and Russia together as the same tech tree except in the Middle East.
After Rank 8 gets implemented for Ground battles I believe T-80BVM should move to 12.0, with T-80BM (with or without proposed 1400 HP engine) should be 12.3.
Now you can see it doesnt have Relikt side ERA for its hull but does seem to have both UFP and turret (even side) ERA Relikt. Doesnt have 3RD gen thermal imager for Sosna U (3RD gen is a replaced russian thermal imager), but it has 2ND gen “Plisa” thermal sight for its 1G46M sight (like one found on T-80U but upgraded, unsure yet what was changed, will make sure to check later)
This is photo of 1G46 and Plisa thermal nearby (not from inside of T-80BM, this is just for reference of their placement).
2E42M gives same 40° turret rotation speed as 2E58 found on T-80BVM.
Gun and autoloader is same as on T-80BVM we have in game.
1400 HP engine was created and proposed for T-80BM, though I am unsure if it was installed on only prototype. (2006-2008 development process, 10 years earlier than T-80BVM acception into service date)
T-80UE-1
11.7
From T-80U theres such changes as: 2A46M-4 gun with autoloader modified to use rounds with length uo to 740mm (basically 3BM60), they both seem to use T-80UD (same T-80U) turret, theres two prototypes, one fitted with NVG, second prototype is with “Plisa” 2nd generation thermal sight, 1G46 sight remains for both.
I am suggesting to add second prototype, shown on second image with Plisa thermal sight.
T-80UE-1 has 2E42M-1 stabiliser, getting it same 40° as 2E58 found on T-80BVM.
Now theres a lot of minor and not changes to the vehicle, same as for T-80BM that dont really much for War Thunder.
T-80UE-1, on par with T-80UA was accepted into service in 2005 (IIRC), I am not sure if there were any orders or amount of T-80 tanks being upgraded to T-80UE-1/T-80UA standart.
Edit: There is around 30 T-80UE-1 made with thermals and autoloader&gun upgrade to use 3BM60.
I do understand if ratings seem unfair, and I would honestly add 0.3 to each of suggested vehicles, but knowing how long introduction of Rank 8 for Aircraft is going, with there still being no 12.7 BR planes whatsoever, it will take months, ages.
