The Tejas Mk. 1A is going to be a nasty little jet at top rank thanks to its highly diverse missile capabilities and maneuverability. With dual pylons added, it can increase its firepower similarly to the in-game JF-17.
Also with the Indian MiG-29K receiving the Astra Mk. 2 and targeting pods like the Belarusian Talisman, it greatly heightens the jet’s capability and uniqueness.
1 problem, astra mk2 is probably tested by now, however its test firing is not public. Only the drop test from 2022 is public till now. A small order has been placed by IAF and we will expect a user trial test fire prob on the 1st quarter of 2025. It is dual pulse variant of mk1 being a bit more thicker with a bit more fuel.
Also astra mk1 is a aim120c7 equivalent. Same diameter but longer. 110km max range and 8 sec burn time(which was confirmed by the test fire of vl srsam which is modified astra mk1 with just thrust vector control) it is lighter than amraam but has prob bit more drag due to clipped rectangular fins, but has prob more fuel too. It can pull max 40g from many sources and is installed on su30mki, mig29k and mig29upg.
We should have both, it is an original Swedish vehicle and it is the Swedish TT. Indigenous vehicles should always be a priority in a TT (I know the Swedish Leopards are unique models, but they are still Leopards)
We could have the TT version with APS and the same premium version with the camouflage net added.
Part of program to decide which gun to use for M60 MBT.
90mm M41, 90mm T208E9, 105mm T254, 105mm X15E8, 105mm T123E6, 120mm T123E6, and 120mm M58 guns were tested.
90 mm M41 (M48 tank armament)
90 mm T208E9 (Smoothbore version tested in T95 tank)
The T-64BM2 ‘Bulat’ is the most advanced T-64 to enter service. Equipped with a 1,000hp diesel engine, 2nd-generation thermal sights for the Gunner and Commander, advanced Nizh-1M explosive reactive armor, as well as several other armor and quality of life upgrades, this tank easily will take a combative role at BR 11.7.
BR calculated by comparing it to the T-80UE-1. The T-64BM2 ‘Bulat’ has superior armor/armor layout, thermals for both gunner and commander, and a comparable maneuverability (forward but not reverse) but the Bulat lacks access to the 3BM46 and only can use the 3BM42. This is somewhat offset by the use of the Kombat GL-ATGM. Balancing these options, 11.3-11.7 is suitable. Adding a round like the P99 TAPNA can offset this issue.
3BM42 isn’t a bad round, but obviously not ideal. The armor underneath is still relatively decent, especially the composition of the ERA itself is really good for defeating Kinetic rounds and is capable of stopping missiles such as the Kornet. It could go 11.3 but it really can’t go any lower. Ammunition an adjustable variable with Gaijin so it could get a better round that’s compatible with older autoloaders like the TAPNA.
