I would absolutley love to see the Object 640, i.e. “The Black Eagle”. No one can convince me this thing isn’t the hottest Russian tank ever created 😍
does there even exist enough information to correctly model it?

Dude, it’s the coolest Eastern origin MBT and one of the hottest overall MBT, period.
(Oplot-M comes in 2nd and ZTZ-99A in third)
[T-84 Yatagan leans abit more towards Western-style, so can’t include in that list but is the closest sibling to 640 in terms of design]
Mostly yea … but you gotta know that this was the prototype not the final intended design.
The final design had much different hull front (primarily), than just a reused T-80U hull albeit extended.
I had posted it in the old forum … lemme check if I can get those subtle design details.
Intended Object 640’s design print:
In the completed MBT, the absence of the carousel would’ve allowed the crew to sit lower and be better protected. Not in the prototype though, I think.

Imo, I’d go BM Oplot, PT-91 Twardy, T-64BM2 Bulat, T-72B3M, T-14 Armata

Don’t forget T-72M4CZ … it now ranks above Twardy now, in my list.
I dont consider Armata in that list, coz its comparatively too new, different and still abit secretive.

Yo yeah the T-72M4CZ is a beast. That reminds me, actually I’d have to say the Moderna tops my list.

And then there’s the whole Yugo/Serbian line of M-84s/91/95 as well, which are cool in their own rights.

this is so interesting… Challenger 2 inspired turret on chinese T-72 looking chassis and the Leopard 2 inspired turret on chinese chassis
I will always be down for more type 63 and type 62.

Lemme attempt a list as well,

- M-95 Degman
Honorable mentions: T-84-120 Yatagan and PT-16 ~ can’t include coz those’re NATO 120mm modified
And considering …
- T-72M4CZ
- T-90M
- PT-91M2A2 Twardy
- T-64BM2 Bulat
- Cheonma-2 (M2020)

For me anything of the T-72 family, all the way up from the T-72A to the T-72B3M. Also any related developments, including the T-90 and T-90M. Those tanks are just perfect.

that never stopped gaijin. But with those turret cheeks they better un-cripple nato rounds so we can actually pen the turret
Mantlet weakspot
doesnt seem to have one
It does.
Another batch of vehicles I’d love to see are modern light tanks. They could seriously theme a whole update around them, but they have been somewhat overlooked in updates. I’m talking about vehicles such as the:
- M10 Booker
- ZTQ-15
- Sabrah
- Zorawar (Indian Sub tech tree in Britain?)
Many of these have already been suggested in different threads, but damn they’d be cool. Maybe then we could see some variety, instead of always the same old MBT’s like the Leopards, BVM’s, Abrams, and Leclercs at high-tier GRB. Get’s a little bit stale after some time, y’know?

All good. Are other cool ones like the VN12, VN22B or ZTL05.
Definitely hoping for the ZTQ15 as well.
