The person on the right was in so many tanks, prototype or not
It’s pretty much superior, unless you wanna compare with the TAM 2C.
No, he means it like TAM2C that have many parts from Germany and it was added to Germany.
Osorio same, cause it has vickers turret. So, it probably can went to Britain TT.

Object 770
The last soviet heavy tank, developed in the 1950s, It was developed alongside the Object 277 and the Object 279 following the Decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR on August 12, 1955.
The Object 770 is equipped with the 130mm M-65 gun with dual axis stabilizer, the same gun found in Object 279. Although the two tanks shared the same type of main gun, the autoloading systems were not identical.
In the game i would say it pretty much would have the same reload rate as the Object 279 which is 11.6 to 8.6 seconds aced.
There also was 14.5 mm KPVT machine gun coaxially mounted next to the main gun.
The cast turret varied from 184mm to 260mm at angles from 30° to 50° from the vertical, translating to 263mm-300mm of effective armour. The upper hull varied from 85-138mm from 60-71° from the vertical, equalling 261-276mm of effective protection. It was an entirely new design and not based on a pre-existing chassis.
The Object 770 had a maximum speed of approximately 55 km/h (34 mph) on roads. This relatively high speed for a heavy tank was made possible by its powerful engine and advanced suspension system designed to provide improved mobility compared to earlier Soviet heavy tanks.
Engine: 10-cylinder, four-stroke, DST-10 diesel engine with a supercharging compressor
1000 hp.
This blueprint show’s the Object 770’s unique hull shape. Also note the air suspension units along the sides, and the transversely mounted engine at the rear.
It could have a maximum crew number of 4 people.
Specifications
Mass: 55.0 t (121,300 lb)
Length: 10.15 m (33 ft 4 in)
Width: 3.38 m (11 ft 1 in)
In-game potential BR: 8.7 (RB)
In a summary, it’s pretty much a better T-10M.
Would be a good event tank for USSR too since in no way this would be a tech tree vehicle.

@Tim_TeaDrinker summed up what I meant, I mean that it is a similar proposal as a joint-venture between Vickers and Engesa like the TAM was which is in Germany. So if it ended up elsewhere it would be dumb. Also the thing has great mobility and responsiveness which is a much-needed change for Britain.

BTR-40 with R-13
“Homemade North Vietnamese Self-propelled air-defense system: BTR-40 w/ K-13 missiles usually mounted on the MiG-17. Was meant to engage AC-130 gunships.”
Possibly a lower BR SAM, 7.0 - 7.7.
Missiles are rear aspect and non maneuverable.

Back in AUSA 2023, Rheinmetall mounted their Skyranger 30 turret on the M5 Ripsaw autonomous vehicle. This was intended for U.S. service, as is the other Ripsaw variants. I figured that this could be another potential option for higher tier American air defense, considering the moderate potency of 30mm AHEAD when compared to other AA guns.
I feel that unmanned vehicles such as the Ripsaw could be implemented properly without issue, crew members can be replaced with other important electrical components that will have to be repaired in order for certain functions of the vehicle to work.

Yess, more such planes for the minor nations! Also that one cool attacker for the french
My biggest wish for the next updates will be a reworked naval mode.
The damage mechanics etc. are in a good place, but the modes themselves are ass rn. I want an expanded EC mode with more to do for the various types of ships and planes.
Also 2.3+ coastal vessels are currently in a really bad place, as many can’t do anything when a destroyer decides to waltz in.
The current mode evidently doesn’t work too well

Fun thing, there’s a heat shell for 130MM guns that Gaijin probably should add to 279 if it already sits high, and for this if it ever ends in the game.
Before I was really against making a suggestion for an early T-72 prototype wkth 130mm gun, now I am thinking about doing it.

why against, and what’s this prototype, I heard there was a choice between 125mm and 130mm, but never known it was actually built
we really need some TT 130mm gun. Sadly, the 279 event was the last event I missed, ater that, I learned how to play the event.

Wasn’t there also a powerful APDS for the 130mm M-65 which is way better than what the T-10M has? I don’t remember if they had to modify the gun tube to fire it… anyways would’ve been nice to see it in game for the Obj. 279 and any other future tank using the 130mm M-65.

Just some corrections, the XM291 uses a 140mm L/48 gun tube instead of L/47, both the 140mm L/48 and 120mm L/56 gun tubes are 6.750mm long.
Thumper is currently armed with the 120mm L/56 gun tube, the 140mm bore evacuator is way longer and goes past the engine deck when the turret is turned to the rear E.g. the CATTB’s bore evacuator. When installed on Thumper, the 140mm gun tube received a paint job and fortunately there’s 2 photos of Thumper armed with the 140mm gun tube.

Finnish F/A-18C Hornet in a “early” form.
Finland chose to buy Hornets to replace aging Drakens and MiG-21BIS interceptors in the 90s with first Hornets arriving to Finland in 1995 in form of D variant Hornets which were twin seat variants.
All of the Finnish F/A-18C Hornets were built in Finland by Patria, 5 of the D variants came from USA.
There are a few Hornets that could be added to Finnish tree in Swedish tree, the C and D. And MLU Upgrades.
The Finnish F/A-18C could be added with the first hornets that are added if they add the Finnish one as it came in the 90s.
Could carry 12 missiles max.

I have never heard of it, only heard people say that there were no APDS for 130MM M65.
Object 172MN with 2A50 (LP36E) gun, the trials were conducted in 1973-1975, together with Object 172-3M, which also had the same gun installed.
Fun fact, with use of M65 gun the M65GL gun was developed, which was basically taking M65 gun, getting rid of rifling, making it a 140mm gun, the gun was suggested into many tank prototypes, including 279, 278,770 and the 120.
The reason being is BR placement, as well as small amount of information on it. BR placement wise this is almost as earliest T-72 can go while staying a T-72, 40mm-high hardness steel, 105 textolite, 70mm high hardness steel. The turret completely lacks composite and is just solid steel armour. It also lacks laser rangefinder and has same gunsight and rangefinder as on T-64A, which isnt critical.
Also the fact I want Object 167TM more, which is one of the first USSR’s tries at gas turbines, which has been being attempted decade before the original T-80.
It’s practically a T-62 with T-72 suspension, 125MM 2A26 gun with T-72 autoloader, GTD-3TU 800HP gasturbine engine.
It has T-72 autoloader, suspension because later T-72 will use the autoloader made for one of Object 167 prototypes including Object 167TM, as well as suspension of Object 167.
