No that’s not what the article said :) I read it. It said they aren’t making the ITALIAN version.

So… what I’m hearing is we should’ve gotten the T-14 armada already. I agree :)
Italy’s interest was an Italian version. Not reaching those demands quite literally drops the entire point of buying the 2A8. The IMBT became a thing since Rheinmetall will ALLOW Italy to make as many modification as needed to the platform.
Buying “stock” or “regular” 2A8s would make no sense and therefore it’s not even needed to “officially” drop something that never even became a thing.

No turret composite moment
You mean KF-51 ?
My God, the T90M OBR 2017 is its initial production version, but it first appeared in 2015. It’s basically a custom-made version for the Russian army derived from the T90MS that appeared in 2011. Or have you forgotten that this exists? The version of the T90M we have in the game is almost 10 years old. Gaijin could have given us other, better versions of the T90M, and could also give us the T90MS, and the new T90M2.

KF-51 is supposed to be the baseline for the IMBT, yes. So far we only have a rendering and it looks decently different already.
So I’m hearing no complaints
Historical introduction for content arrival? F-22 against MiG-29SMT, lets go. 😎
Russia stops existing as a viable nation the day Gaijin does that.
Wrong, we have obr. 2019 “Proryv-3”.

I don’t know maybe turret will be redesigned it kinda looks like deathtrap for a driver
Hopefully we’ll get some more info or renderings soon.
Is it in the archives?
It’ll be worse than the NATO equivalents so why not.
Without heavy handholding it’s essentially a 2S38 with an MBT cannon, entirely reliant on ERA.
HAHA yeah okay. Open a history book as I said previously. The late 90s - early 2010s will be the best for the USA / Germany.
T-55s T-62s, T-72s etc would stomp.
IS-3,4,6,7 would all be equal br to the T29/30/34
Obj.279 would be 8.3 with the T58
Need I continue?

Better just buy KF-51 like would be easier for countries in one alliance just unify tank designs
Not really. Making the IMBT will promote Italian industry and will end up as an additional option since the point of the Joint Venture is to eventually sell it to third party countries.

Iirc the SEPv2 itself is from like 2008, so I think France is the nation with the least modern MBT in game, closely followed by the US, Israel and Sweden.
You forgot it has an APS meant to degrade APFSDS.
Also you think it’ll be worse. That’s your opinion, not a fact. Stop strutting your opinion as a fact.
It’s also older…? And didn’t abrams x, KF41, etc all copy the T-14 pretty much?
Literally nothing proving it can
Statistically it’s worse than other next gen MBTs
They were designed to respond to a thread, and as seen with the Mig-25 → F-15 saga, they will be better
