PT-91 (early) - Legacy model

If I’m not mistaken, it’s better than usual, because the reverse gear is not -5 but -20

Fine. PT-91U then.

PT-91E,EX,M2A2 also exist

Never heard of it before

I see, I didn’t know about them, I only heard about PT91, PT91M

It’s understandable since these were the only variants mass produced, we stopped modernising our PT-91’s and focused mostly on NATO tech

I’ve heard of PT16 and PT17, but I’m not sure if they’re serial.

They aren’t either :(

Found an archive from a website but it calls it the PT-72U

So what is distinct about an “early” PT-91? What upgrades did the PT-91 receive during its life that warrants two versions? The only upgrade I can remember is the fitting of KLW-1, but just a different thermals isn’t enough to warrant a separate vehicle IMO.

The PT-91 (early) is the first 20 tanks of serial production, which have the generation 1 ERAWA arrangement. And 1st gen TES thermals.

The PT-91 (late) is the later production version of the tank featuring the more effective and better generation 2 ERAWA arrangement (It gets more ERAWA-2 on the hull, eliminating certain weakspots). It can also be further differentiated by the fact that during some overhauls it received the 3rd gen KLW-1 thermals.

Maybe make a “Difference between PT-91 (early) and PT-91 (late)”-section in your suggestion? I often include that. :D
