TBF the MBT-80 programme suffered from a bit of TSR2 syndrome, i.e. Late, over budget, and trying to do too much. When you have an almost as good option there, just requiring a little work (Shir 2/CR1) for less money, that makes more sense tbh.
(+ the MBT-80 project had only produced turrets at the time of cancellation. The hulls used for the prototypes where Shir 2 hulls.)

" For field trials the turret was originally fitted to a Chieftain hull, but as the programme progressed it later transferred to the hull it is now on at Bovington. The turret is actually a FV4211 turret, presumably because the interior would have been similar to MBT-80 (if one was ever to be built). Should you see the WSD at Bovington you will notice thick vertical plates mounted on the turret front either side of the gun, these are simply ballast weights to raise the inertia of the turret to represent that of an armoured turret."
I wish for better gameplay for us noobs. Gaijin is smart. They know that u want higher tiers faster, so they charge a lot of money to get it. Meanwhile, if u grind to get the same thing, it will take months.
They need to add that.
Huge missed opportunity for gaijin to add the Danish F 35 with present skin as a bonus.
Swedish santa pilot as extra holiday add on.
Massive L on Gaijoobles part. I probably would have bought it despite me being a awful pilot lol
Im danish so id buy it, also its a bomber draken it would be amazing at 9.7 with 12,000lb of bombs and flares
if gaijoobles actually adds it at any point, my wallet will likely cry (50/50)
New Chinese jet (maybe 6th generation)

I want to see Merkavas getting their ral-life armor. I an’t waut to play my DM53-proof top tier MBT!
Also, I want Sholef fixed, and Kfir buffed.
I want low tier for Israel, and a HUGE decompression for the BRs.
Object 195 man.
Seems to be powered by three engines (extra intake on the top of the fuselage)
Having a hunch, it might the new stealth attack/tactical bomber … and a J-20S was its chase-plane.
Another 6th generation prototype from SAC. (so they have two 6th gen protoype jets!)

Why are the landing gears out during flight, is that how they designed it?
There is always the next year on the horizon.
Its normal for test flight
The landing gear is often down for a new jet’s first flight
See T-50, KF-21, J-20, TAI TF Kaan, B-21 first flight photos.
Jesus, slow down China! Stop speedrunning the tech-tree! XD
