I have been searching finnish armored groups journals and additional testing groups
and the only reference ive seen to this thing was a mention of the gun being trialled then replaced.
Mainly looking for the names of Tank commanders but so far i only have the name for Nikki commander.
Finnish T-34/76, 9 were bought by a finnish commander from germany but only 3 were delivered. Of the 3 two vehicles featured the german cupola while the third shown below was an unmodified version.
Given the current approach to incorporating such features into the game, my answer would be no. It would evolve an already highly controversial topic, which is the CAS issue in Ground RB, into a bigger issue.
JPK-90, a Belgian 90mm Laser-rangefinder & more Jagdpanzer:
Look inside for more information:
This Belgian anti-tank vehicle was designed by the German company Rheinstahl AG and started production in 1965. A purchase contract, covering 80 vehicles, was signed by Belgium in 1972.
The JPK (jagdpanzerkannone) 90 mm intended for Belgian infantry is somewhat different from the model produced for the German army. Among other differences, the undercarriage was taken from the marder instead, same for its gear. Also a SABCA Gun fire and control system, already in use with the Belgian Leopards, was installed, which included a rangefinder and night vision.
With the introduction of the ZSU-23-4M2 (and possibly the Osa-AK/Osa-AKM and Su-24M) we head back to the Soviet-era. I think this is an area that should be focused on getting caught up on.
There’s quite a few mainstream vehicles that should be added:
T-72AV
T-62MV
T-62D
T-55MV
BMD-3
BMD-2
BMD-1
“P” modification.
2S19 Msta-S
TOS-1
If I understood it correctly, could have “A” modification and provide it a LRF, etc.
9P148 Konkurs
Konkurs-M modification.
9P122/9P133 Malyutka
9K31M Strela-1M
ZSU-23-4M3 (IFF-capable)
Could be a modification to the existing ZSU-23-4.
9K330 Tor
etc.
Also, remove the Agava Thermal Imager from the T-80BV. It was a singular prototype and sets a bad in-game precedent.
If they do that, it will most likely become a vehicle that only one’s to research it will have (just like Panther 2, except being real).
And probably will insert a proper T-80BV with 1985 composites. Maybe do it in a way of T-64B, where even T-64B in stock has it’s own version of 5 layered composite (as in 1984 before BV thats the version produce), with 1984 T-80B with a 5 layer composites.
Additionally I’ve read there were a testing serie of Agava thermals made for testing purpose, so they could have gone to some T-80B or other T serie really.
I personally see no reason to.
Hell at some points of the game nations have to completely resort to single existing prototypes to even play the game.
This would be a straight buff to the vehicle really, either reducing BR, or up armouring it.
It’s already second best 10.3 IMO, no need to make it better or make it the best 10.0
