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.
The Infantry Fighting Vehicle version, equipped with 30mm autocannon, 7.62mm coaxial machine gun, Spike’s, IF-LD APS, 60mm mortar, and more. Production is expected.
The Fire Support Vehicle version of the Eitan, equipped with a 105mm cannon, 7.62mm coaxial machine gun, IF-LD APS, and more. Planned as an option for the Brazilian military’s VBC-CAV program but was disqualified, remains an early prototype with (what I believe is) a mock turret.

A Merkava 3D with the Low-Intensity Conflict (LIC) package that features mostly cosmetic changes in terms of gameplay versus the in-game Merkava 3D. Still features the same weapons being the 120mm main gun, multiple machine guns, a 60mm mortar, LWS, and more. An alternative tech tree addition since the Merkava 3D is locked in the U.S. tree.
@oom1992, I didn’t want to make it a full list but I said many more. There’s a LOT of other vehicles out there that could be added.
It’s entirely possible for them to pull India out of the UK. It’s been done before with Italy and Germany. We’ll see what happens but I don’t think it will, at least not for a while.
