Black Eagle turret is very different from that of T-80U. It probably relies more on ERA and APS protection rather than armor, or it has good chunk of it maybe right in front of the gunner optics
Maybe it could look like that, with the armor itself
There are approximate armor values for these areas
I see, what about the base frontal armor , it terms of thickness it looks similar to the t-80U in some frontal areas , probably the materials that it is composed of are different? But I like the drawn images you provided. Is there an already drawn up model in our game. If it is planned to come in, some one must have already composed a model of it in game files?
I truly enjoy the color of the tank and the frontal appearance it looks menacing.
the prototype armor is identical to that of T-80U, the hull is just elongated.
The avant-projet had different hull ERA and form in the front, similar to that of T-90M and T-80BVM, which were made in late 2010s; the Eagle project was truly ahead of it’s time. It had more armament and protection options too:
We won’t see this though as it has no historical basis, whatsoever. We must hope for the 2nd prototype
This is interesting information and the model was indeed ahead of its time. Who is Plotnikov is he related in anyway to this project?
Do you know why object 640 was postponed for the winter and not in the upcoming update?
Plotnikov is the guy who makes these good side digital arts, and he has a lot of project pictures regarding object 640… Sadly I can’t find any more photos than that… well, except for obj.292 I guess (different from one in game)
Didnt gszabi leak the tank for summer? I think it can appear apart from game update. Like TOG 2 did
Ahh ok nice to know, as for gszabi I think he is the one who leaked the list, found out from Euro Canadian about it.
I am mildly concerned about the fact that neither of the demonstrators were given machine guns. Inb4 we end up with another Obj 292 situation where if your main gun is taken out you’re just done
It did, initially. But then the leak list got updated and 620 was moved to Winter event
ARMA 3 tank.
it will only have a 4 second reload so it shouldn’t be as bad as the 292 with a 10 second reload.
I really do hope that if nothing else we get the big ass coaxial HMG (looks like a Kord?) from the blueprints that sits right on top of the gun mantlet.
I wonder what kind of thermals it had? Is the gunner and commander g-2 thermals like Sosna-U, but we can make it gen 3 :).
why would it be gen 3??
upgrade over the one in the picture.
it looks ugly. The tank will be good on it’s own without machine guns, they make the tank look uglier
the final prototype would be the upgraded version (probably with Sosna-U or whatever it actually had, Im not an expert on visual ID of Soviet/Russian optics) while gaijin will just make stock version armed with normal night vision, as usual (examples of T-80U/UK and other tanks of that time)
Ill contact Tank Encyclopedia to identify those sights.
Well the version of this tank has a commanders and gunners thermals, the one that is in the youtoube video clip has them.
I think a small aesthetic penalty is an acceptable cost for being able to make noise when your main gun is taken out and being able to defend yourself against light vehicles (however little of them there are at top tier).
I hate goofy ahh RTS tanks with 1 primary weapon and nothing else.
