To be fair, if they’re almost out of there vehicle storage as a whole, it does show that there is at least some indication that they could be low unless they’re actively producing the vehicle from scratch again. Russia typically upgrades older hulls to new standards so its not unreasonable to come to that fact. It also depends on your news sources, I mean to is your own for that. I typically use ThinkTanks for my updates vice news.
I mostly agree with this, as I mentioned earlier its a lot more inefficient to have to go to such lengths to fit such vehicles together when there’s limited commonality. I do think the number of hulls/turrets they have left also play into some degree but we don’t have to beat that dead horse further. We pretty much agree mostly on this lol.
my question is if its reallly needed for new variants beacsuse im not aware of any other f15I varaiants except f15IA,the f15I we have ingame is no diffirent to the ones you called “upgaraded” the r2d2 dome thing you see is just a satcom communications pod. the f15Is didnt go through extensive modifications since their porcurement. the only systems which are missing is the f15I ingames EW system. the f15I ingame uses the TEWS ,which it dosent irl. israel uses its own as a replacement (Elisra sps-2110 with inttergarated passive and active systems.basic stuff RWR,Sutter jamming,IFF etc) im not sure we should get a variant of a plane which isnt even based of real life
Tow hook placements are of T-72, not T-90M and also read somewhere, somebody identified the marginal difference between the driver hatches of the T-72B3 and T-90M.
There are minor differences, due to V-84 vs V-92, exhaust port width difference etc etc …
Yes, they are not 1:1 mirror copies in detail, but the overall hull is the same and modifying a T-72 hull to a T90 like schuld be fairly quick and easy.
