Well it would be nice to have a Vickers. The thing with the Finnish one is that it has a much better armament though. Maybe they could add the Vickers with the L/55 wz. 35 40 mm gun? The gun itself, and the mantlet were built. The turret wasn’t built though, but we do have things like the E-100 or Ho-Ri.
It wasn’t Bumar. Test site in Sulejówek gave them the Produkt S-2 name. What interests me is that the existence of S-2 should indicate that there was Produkt S-1 at some point as well
It says they were tested in Sulejówek, but it also says that S-2 was the name given in the factory, and they were built in Łabędy as far as I am aware.
Good luck with that because from the looks of it HM-45 is hardly acknowledged by them as a thing.

From what I’ve read it was Sulejówek itself that made these versions. I might have misunderstood the text perhaps.
To me it reads like Łabędy built them, and Sulejówek only tested them, but I could have misunderstood too.
Some news: GDLS representatives revealed to the Army Recognition portal that the shipment is alread on water and will arrive in Poland within a few weeks. In addition, the tanks will be delivered earlier than the known schedule (still in 2024), according to which the first vehicles were to reach Poland at the beginning of 2025.
Literally iconic, a very important addition
Is the ZET-1 actually called “T-52 Project S-2”? Could you please give a source on that?
The name comes from an article in the Polish magazine “Wojsko i Technika Historia 2/2018”, however it does not seem to refer to the anti-ATGM screens. In the article it is written that “S-2” was a factory name given to the T-54A tanks, which started production in 1957. In 1957-1958 the tanks were tested in Sulejówek, and as a result it was decided to implement some minor modernizations. The Polish modernizations included: an electric fuel gauge, bonus fuel tanks on the fenders, adapting the tank for fording water, protection against napalm, and screans against HEAT ammunition, as well as some other things. However, the text does not refer to the screens with any special name. To me it seems that the name for these screens is either unknown, or they didn’t have any special name since they were only experimental and were not put to service.
As for ZET-1, it was the name of a Soviet system, which included folding mesh screens attached to the tank’s barrel, similar in appearance to an umbrella. It was not related to the Polish experiments in any way. The Polish screens are only called ZET-1 because someone on the internet must have made a mistake, and since there was no other known name for them people started repeating that.
Since there is no definitive way of referring to the Polish system, I think you should rename it to something like: “T-54A with HEAT protection”.
Ignore the last part about renaming it, I thought you were IN_SPEEDwE_TRUST, since you have the same avatar, haha.
Oh no I will need to re name it, thanks for explaining
If Gaijin didnt decide to make a Sub-tt a whole seperate line it would be fine. I would be much more happy to see vehicles mixed into already existing lines
Yup i would be happy too but i highly doubt that gajin will do something like this
This is even better (as I am Slovak) Do you have fir it forum post where would be possible to vote for it?
P.S. Though I am not sure if basic OT-90 and OT-64 should be so low. Yes they are not very powerful (latter one realy being almost crap) but lets balance it
Make sure to get the Kotwica.
mind taking a look at my Visegrad tech tree by the way? [POLL] We want to see a Visegrád tech tree in game!
