No please, that will awaken the reverse speed debate again. I don’t know how many more times I can take people using that stupid video as difinitive proof that the BVM '23 has increased reverse speed.

Which they do all the time since they only care about technical compatibility for which they treat every EFT the same.
Yeah and the video is not a source since its very much just a “dude trust me” source. It looks faster but there is no mention or showing of actual speeds
Which is not comparable, we have proof of Brimstones being compatible and fitted on EFT. We havent seen any of that for the transmission on the T90M.

Eyeballing it is not exactly the most reliable estimate and thus it shouldn’t get an improved reverse speed if ever added to the game.
Otherwise that would open a can of worms that Gaijin would much rather keep closed.

Even if it lets say gets added…what does it realistically bring to the table? The tank is the same turd it always was except that not it can use the reverse actually. Though it would make that particular tank more useful than the rest, its still only that 1 tank
It doesn’t bring anything new to the table that can actually be proven, which is why I assume Gaijin hasn’t added the BVM '23 to the game yet.
The devs also know that if they add the '23 with any form of improved reverse speed they will receive a massive amount of backlash from players from every other nation. A lot of things/buffs/features for vehicles from other nations have been denied while being backed with more and better evidence.

Yes but adding anything tank-wise for RU at least at the top tier is just yet another T-series tank with even more ERA on it…no new shells, thermals, turret, whatever…they are already in, everything they have. Its just how many and in which order you want your ERA… The only actual bigish change they did was Black Eagle. The rest is all proposals and prototypes, tech demos etc.

This is me trying to get a range record. Saw a guy make a post about it and so ive been trying to beat my 30km record. got a 29km against a mirage f1 base bombing but this is him going in a straight line relying on multipathing to save him. Plus ive gotten a 60km (more like 58 i think) with an er against an f4s in the mig 29 so 30 km is more than doable for some missiles. Especially at top tier as it stops them from guiding in a missile on you as you aproach.
32 / 25 ≈ 1.28 seconds
0.003931 km / 1.28 seconds = 0.0041375 km/s ≈ 11.05 km/h
for 29 Frames: ≈ 12.18 km/h

I wont doubt those numbers, they are probably correct but anyhow there is something in the making or they are trying at least but imo for WT that tank wont bring anything special or new. Maybe better reverse speed and Arena-M. T80 line maybe Black Eagle and the rest is all next generation of tanks, they have nothing else other than as I said earlier 50 shades of ERA basically
I actually laughed, good one.

Was after.* would be the claim, as they made the ammo racking easier not harder.
Which is wrong.
we have proof of brimstone 3s being fitted to the EFT, not the brimstone ones
which are in game.
Yeah hence the apparently man.
Need to wait and see lol
If they added that it would be screaming favouritism lol

War Thunder as we know it would be in enormous trouble if video proof was a proper thing.

Which is probably Gaijin assuming backwards compatibility
So its not the same then since one has a reasoning based in reality and the other is just smoke and mirrors rn?
Im fine with russia getting stuff thats tested/compatible and all but once again the point of discussion is not capabilities, numbers or anything like that but the very existence of a potential addition.
Well with America getting its new munition, for CAS, I would put them ahead overall.

Which again is incorrect irregardless of why the EF2000 for Germany didn’t mount brim 1.
So it realistically shouldn’t have had them.
what reasoning is that.
Because as far as I have seen Gaijin haven’t actually given an official statement as to why the EF2000 got the brims it never mounted IRL.
There was genuinely zero response or acknowledgement from them.
We knew it couldn’t mount them as germany only orded them with the Brim 3.
Yet there it was with them.
This is a huge possibility of and I don’t mean in game I mean IRL of a functional “high” mobility reverse gear on a T90 series MBT. Though I’m sceptical myself it isn’t as if Russia have never designed more mobile capable transmissions is it.
Yet you are okay with a EF2000 having brimstones it historically never had ?
I personally would like to see more information before actually condeming it or advocating for it.
Which munitions? AGM-84H/K?
We still don’t know if it’s actually coming and it’s still worse overall than the Kh38MT since it’s subsonic.

Subsonic sure, but combined overall will be good.
Subsonic means its going to be fairly easy to intecept with any SACLOS SPAA.
Add the fact its going to be limited in quantity, and you got a glorified Maverick. It will hardly solve anything unless its RCS is tuned for the task.
With the new pantsir coming? that will have a field day and the easiest time shooting down these SLAM-ERs.
Not to mention I think the Super Hornet can only carry 2-4 of them right? I don’t even know if Gaijin would give it to the F-15E and/or F-16C.
