Armata is a abandoned project. It was cancelled. All these points you mention are not really valid. Instead it was decided to modernize existing depot tanks from long term storage and increase T-90 production. Which makes sense, cause T-14 couldn’t fullfill its expectations.
advance? advance in what? advance as in who disappear on the battlefield faster? or advance in that it cant be seen because its cancelled?
the copium is massive
probably better reverse
looking at the crew position this thing would have the equivalent of the 2s38 armor with ERA
i can see that its useful in some case but seeing how gaijin model ingame APS, doubt
same thing said for the AGS, you cant kill it hull down. To counter it, simply put “hello high explosive round looking good today aint it” or you can just breech them yk. This thing is just basically 2s38 without turret armor rack and use T-xx 125mm round
Also the Armata is cancelled, the project could not fufill the expectation as it was suppose to be better than the T-90s which ofc not, it was too expensive, too complicated, not enough armor + now that the T-90M has the Arena APS the APS on it is irrelevant, just another russian tank project that failed because the T-xx from Stalinium is just irreplaceable

Sounds like a very good suggestion we will be adding armata in few months -gayjin
Closest thing to that are the IR Hammers - which truly aren’t that bad against most pantsir players.

IR hammers are actually good because of the arching trajectory, you can’t shoot them down as effectively as Kh, but the time to target is higher so it’s easier to smoke.

Good thing Pantsirs don’t get smoke grenades…

Which ones are the Hammers? AARM 250 (SBU 64)?
From what I remember, yes.
Then call them that. Not everyone knows the nicknames of everything.
Not everyone knows the actual name of them either.
I think you can agree that it’s easier to say 3.7 Puma than Sd.Kfz. 234, or Jumbo 76 instead of M4A3E2 (76W).
Same with bullpups, mavericks, and skipper (who casually calls them AGM-12s / AGM-65s / AGM-123s???).
Don’t forget the Armata gets Vaccum 1 which is far better round than previous Russian ammo,

This just proves to me you know absolutely nothing about the T-14 Armata
The armored capsule of the Armata is 800mm+ RHA frontally, and I believe 500 on the sides. The turret area is the least armored, and made light incase of ammo cookoff, it’ll just blow the turret off and save the crew, it also has some form of floor blow out panel.
They finally gave the Armata a transmission upgrade over previous tanks.
It’s overhauled gun can tank better projectiles and even be upgraded to a 152mm.
It has an auto matic APS that detects lases and rounds being fired directly at it. It won’t totally stop APFSDS, but was rumored to degrade APFSDS by 60%
Relict was mounted all over frontally and on the sides for greater protection.
Nor was the Armata canceled. Yes it’s being produced in very minimal numbers as it isn’t the priority, but they have about 60+~ of them now.
I do call them that because it’s easier on people who play this game for fun instead of LARPing being a part of the military. Hence why I don’t say Fox 3s (an inherit American specification), I call them AIM 120s, MICAs, R-77, etc. It is better to be specific on what you are talking about instead of using nicknames that makes zero sense to anyone who doesn’t indulge in the military.

then why is not in service?
A lot of the time they are a complete mouthful and can be expressed more simply with their nicknames.
If most people understand what you’re talking about, then there isn’t any issue.
There’s no point in saying the full / actual names of weaponry / vehicles unless the person you’re talking to doesn’t know them.
NATO brevity code for ARH missiles not an “inherent American specification.”
It is in service?
Hence the reason they are actively producing it.
The massive issue with sending it to the frontline is between its cost and production time. The thing isnt some uber weapon, but it certainly isnt a bad tank by all standards.

NATO brevity code for ARH missiles? what ? xD
Yes what is so hard to understand?
Except it is still exclusive to English speakers. Last I checked, Russians and Chinese pilots are not saying “Fox 3s going out”, especially since they do not speak English, nor do they use the same phonetic alphabet as NATO.
