Was the Object 148 any different from first production batch of the T-14 Armata. Also over the last 10 years of T-14 Armata “production” have any changes to the tank been made that would warrant a new version be added in war thunder, such as improved armor or engine ect?
I guess what I’m asking is when the T-14 Armata is added to the game will we get more than one version of it. Such as the multiple T-72s ect.
There is no such thing as a production T-14 because all manufactured units were either prototypes or LRIP (Low Rate Initial Production). There are supposedly only enough units in existence to conduct trials, perhaps refine some tech and manufacturing, but not something that would qualify as a serial-manufacturing ready batch that could form a battalion.
How the T-14 evolved over the years is beyond me honestly. But:
A. People need to stop trying to get 5 versions of the same tank into the game just so they’d get an excuse to grind 2 million RP and enjoy some stock grind.
B. Versions don’t even need to be distinct to be added. Just look at the Leopard 2 PanzerBattalion 123. It’s just a regular Leopard they dragged a net on.
I can potentially see them doing what they’re doing with Challenger 3, we’ll see a prototype of the Armata or a early pre-production batch such as the 2018 model then later on we can see a 2021 model with much more refined features.
Thats if we can call how few there are “production” models. the information on its acceptance into service is questionable at best. especially as we haven’t seen any footage of them in Ukraine or Kursk.
We realistically don’t know much about the thing and most of the information is either russian propaganda or slop made up by very unqualified and unintelligent YouTuber.
perhaps, but I think that were just different pre-production prototypes as there were so few total that never saw service. So experimentation is a more likely explanation than successive improvements
Possibly, either way if we were to get a T-14 Armata (Early) in game I’d expect it to be slightly worse than the (Late) variant. Doesn’t have to happen though, the Object 195 is more than enough to serve that spot.
given gaijin’s history of inaccurate modelling of russian vehicles, i’m hesitant to agree to seeing an Armata in game (and I have top tier russia, i’m not just some coper)
