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.
Imo a compromise could be made in the form of the module
I asked TE modern tank experts and it seems the sight presented on obj.640 is not based on any real thing. No, it cannot be Sosna-U, it was made in 2010s or around that time. It doesn’t look similar to Agava-2 (it has a long cap on it’s top) which was installed on T-80UK for example. Doesn’t look like Progress-2M (in the game I think it’s installed on T-80B) exactly. It does not look like Plisa either (the one on T-80U-E1) due to aforementioned top cap.
But visually it’s more resembling Sosna-U, yeah. Except it doesn’t fit it’s time period. It’s either something not often mentioned, a prototype they wanted to present, or it’s just not real. Maybe they would have refitted it with Agava-2 or Plisa if it got into serial production
I’ll just leave you to compare it to the other tanks
Nice visual representation of the sight and good analysis, I am just speculating, could this be an improved version of Agava-2? I have never seen such a thermal sight on other tanks.
maybe Agava-1?
