Russian top tier tanks need a fair buff

Suit yourself and your bubble…

Its much more proof than EF with Brims 1. Neutral steering and obviously higher top speed in reverse is though not viable ofc because it comes from the east and we all know they must be lying… Being able to mount certain weapons to a pylon is not the same as being able to use them. F4E Phantoms could carry JDAMs yet nowhere says they could actually use them as a weapon

Reality is not a bubble but whatever…

No its not viable, because its just a video without documentation and it still holds no relevance whatsoever to the discussed point of whether an addition of a T90M2 with faster reverse is viable.

The addition of T90M2 is not viable anyway, gearbox or not…theres no concrete decisions on what its supposed to have/look like. We are likely to see it through this year what they have planned. All I am saying is that the topic of slow reverse and different gearbox is not a new topic as with everything it was talked about years and years ago…old topics just resurfacing there

There is speculation that T90M2 could receive the very first russian made engine pack as its the case with Leopards. Engine and gearbox as one unit as they planned it for the T14. X layout engine and different gearbox

Yeah thats the entire point of whats discussed atm. No one is saying that russia or the USSR are incapable of making a transmission that doesnt suck but their status as additions to the game are dubious at best.

And ill happily lobby for it to be in the game if the available information fits the required quality for potential additions to the game.

Yep, absolutely! Adding it would be Gaijin imagination at work with what it is supposed to be… 2 things are semi confirmed but thats all still just talks…that power pack and Arena-M. Dont even know who suggested it and why but adding lets say KF51 is more realistic at this moment in my opinion even though we dont know anything about it pretty much but the thing obviously exists unlike T90M2

I can’t verify the first video’s version of the game based on the build identifier but from what I understand, the second one video was most likely after they split the 30mm belt to external and internal.

Not sure how that should’ve killed him since all my attempts resulted in no vehicle detonation.

sugar Stalin is the god of gods!

dm53 massively underperforms in game, like pretty much all nato darts
also they’re rank 7 lol

Id say all top tier penetrators underperform in game

It has an LOS pen of 700mm at 2000m in game, so not by much.

Not gonna lie mate, they had enough advantages to put the fear of god into the west for enough time.

I’m well aware of the many, many flews the USSR had but to act as if they weren’t ahuge threat both technologically and capability wise is pretty silly.

Ofc they were a threat. They were a nuclear armed superpower after all. But thats not what he was claiming. He claimed that it took the fall of the union for the west to overtake the USSR/russia which is already wrong since the USSR overall lacked behind the west and the second part with russia “catching up” recently is similarly untrue.

People will read about perestrojka and its background in textbooks and then look you straight in the eye and say USSR never had any sort of economical issues

not on the L/44 that the ariete has

edit: the L/55 doesn’t even have that much pen what are they doing lmao, it should have about that much but ig not lol

Russia vs the world super power that is Ukraine…

So you don’t understand what LOS pen is, got it. And this is why you think it should be able to penetrate the 90M’s UFP.

@diverzant
None, zero, of the top APFSDS rounds under-perform in-game to a notable amount.
If you think 700mm of penetration at 2000 meters range from L/55 is severely under-performing, I have a bridge to sell you.

BTW, check the statcard’s 60 degree stat, and multiply by 2. Or / cos 60.

lol

To say the USSR invented nothing would be wrong, but they were technologically backward in many areas, especially electronics. The gap started in 1947 when Bell Labs invented the transistor. The USSR was very good at building vacuum tubes, but the transition to semiconductors was slower.

By the early 1960s, integrated circuits were already appearing in the West, while Soviet electronics still relied heavily on discrete germanium transistors and only began developing their own ICs in the mid-1960s. By the 1970s, with the arrival of microprocessors, the USSR was already well behind and often resorted to reverse-engineering Western chips.

Here’s an already extensive yet incomplete list of Western techs:

Spoiler

Civilian
transistor (Bell Labs, 1947)
integrated circuit (Jack Kilby / Texas Instruments, 1958)
microprocessor (Intel 4004, 1971)
Internet / ARPANET (DARPA, 1969)

personal computer (Altair 8800 / MITS, 1975)
GUI (Xerox PARC, 1973)

MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) (Damadian / USA, 1977 first full scan)
recombinant DNA / genetic engineering (Cohen & Boyer / USA, 1973)
PCR (Kary Mullis / USA, 1983)

Kevlar (DuPont, USA, 1965)

Air/Space
First production helicopter ( R-4 / USA, 1942)
GPS (U.S. DoD, 1978 first satellite launch)
Jet engine (Frank Whittle / UK, 1937 first run)
First Sweep-wing aircraft (F-111 / USA, 1964 first flight)
high-bypass turbofan (Pratt & Whitney JT3D, 1958)
Pulse Doppler radar (MIT Lincoln Lab / USA, 1950s)
Fly-by-wire (F-16 / USA, 1976 first operational)

precision-guided air munitions (AGM-62 / USA, 1967)
stealth technology (F-117 / USA, 1981 first flight)

Naval
nuclear-powered submarine (USS Nautilus / USA, 1954)
Tear drop shape submarine (USS Albacore / USA, 1953)
nuclear-powered surface ship (USS Long Beach / USA, 1961)
First naval SAM (Sea Slug / UK, 1961)
SLBM (Polaris/ USA, 1960)

The West invented and industrialized so much of the foundational technologies that shaped the world of today that it’s not even a fair competition.

Funny how you assume insantly just due to your ignorance where I am from, yet completely disregarding the fact that people can be bilingual just by living in Europe and actually be educated.

F117 is a mathematical equation from a Russian guy Pyotr Ufimtsev from the 50s.
I am not gonna play top trumps with you here like an impetuous child of who invented what. Enjoy your bubble.

Btw I was reffering to the tank technology, not every single thing since this is sort of a topic about tanks and we are talking about tanks not SLBMs are we?

Theres a single enemy the mighty USSR couldnt beat - economy textbook.
