It was more about the lobby thing than the better option in the result
There were a bunch more reasons than just lobbying, but I won’t get into that.
And T-72B obr. 2022, basically just a T-72B with gen 1 thermal.
Is it the T72B3 without Sosna/Sosna U ( basically removing the whole point of B3 there)? I think it would be more accurate to call it T-72BA then, as BA had improvements over B model like engines (it was more than that but still) , which is on 2022 version i believe.
Probably will happen since all you get is a better round, and chemical protection from LIC conflict being the priority for new editions.
Nope. It was a limited run of variants where they put some more primitive variant on a whole batch of T-72B’s that had entered Uralvagonzavod for refurbishment. It was a bit of an emergency refurb, they didn’t hold onto the hulls to upgrade to K-5 and wait for more Gen 2/3 thermal production (from the same line that supplies the T-90M).
It should basically play like a T-80B(BV), Kontakt-1, Gen 1 Thermal, 3BM-42, probably at 10.3, which would give Russia 10.3 something else to play, and help backfill 10.7
I think T90 will be a better choice than, same as T72B 1989 (well it does have changes but in game its just the look), but with Shtora APS, LWS, and gen 1 thermal (there were two configurations of T-90, one with Agava 2 thermal, other with just night vision.)
T-90A sits at 10.7, I’m talking about 10.3.
And i am talking about T-90, predecessor of T-90A, as something to put at 10.3
They should do both. Maybe a folder?
I dont think community will sit well with a tank of most hated side thats fighting today. Sure we have Leo2PL and KF-41, but even that i think thats what reaction is gonna be.
Someone mentioned T-62M-1 [obr.] 2022, I was just going along with it. At some point, T-90M will not be enough and T-90M 2020 might fill the gap, but eventually T-90M 2022 and 2023 will be needed as will T-80BMV 2022. This also goes without mentioning T-72B3M 2022 is about the last of the T-72’s that can be added.
People are flirting with the idea of a “Thai” M-84, seems like the door is going to swing open eventually for SMO vehicles on both sides to be in the game.
That would be a T-84
actually Great Britain will receive it if Osorio goes into existing nation as Vickers helps design those MBT. Especially hull and turret highly influenced by Vickers MBT Mk.4
could also go to britain, considering the turret was designed and manufactured by Vickers (except armour, which was made and fitted by engesa).
My wish list; Jordan Charioteer with the L7 105mm gun. (Noted for having a roof .50 cal and an upgraded traverse drive.)
The Jordanian Falcon. (Unmanned turret on a challenger hull.)
Lastly the Folland Gnat and its Indian variant the HAL Ajeet.
Please buff F-4EJs and give them AIM-7 E-2 (DF) please. Thank you
Marder 2 for Germany. It will be great IFV with high firerate and changeable caliber.
IL-40P
This could be so cool to have ingame imo.
Looks like a ussr version of P59
