Gajin doesnt care about what planes historically mounted they just care if theres proof that it can mount stuff and since they treat all EFTs the same it doesnt matter if German EFTs mounted Brims.
Im personally not a fan of treating all EFTs the same and id much rather give them some uniqueness depending on tech tree and id like to prevent the balancing nightmare that an EFT with ASRAAM and IRIS T would be. However thats how Gaijin rolls rn.
The reverse gear is not even remotely the same. Were not talking about whether the tank had it historically were talking about whether it exists in the first place. A more fitting analogy would be giving the EFTs thrust vectoring
And im condemning its addition until theres actually any information about it, which shouldnt be a hot take at all.
They made it take longer to repair and reload the 30mms after the belts are detonated, but they haven’t made it easier.
If anything, you can no longer kill it when it is hull-down via 30mm belt detonation.
Tho i did it years ago when missiles were still capable of hitting targets at long ranges, i remember hitting a F-4J with the R-27ER of the Su-27 at 72km.
He was flying straight to me at low altitude but not low enough to fool it.
I’ll post clips tomorrow, but you actually can, however it’s entirely rng and quite rare. I don’t know what they broke to make this happen, or if it was intentional.
The lower half or the upper half of the 30mm belts?
From what I understand the upper half of the 30mm, when detonated, is impossible to cause vehicle destruction, whereas the lower half can.
Yes, apparently russia figured out the portal tech and thus there is no direct connection between “outside” and “internal” belt and as such no chain detonation can occur.
Just shows how rest of the world is just stuck in the middle ages when it comes to technology.
It’s just gaijin digging up the ancient Hyperborea technology to fight the lizard people from ‘acceptable sources’, nothing to make a fuss about, definitely not Russian bias.
I dont know how many times someone needs to say it but whatever you see coming out of RU today, its nothing they JUST invented…its been there for at least 40 years… the fall of the Union is the reason why the west overtook them and only recently RU started catching up
They weren’t the same though hence why it had to be integrated with brim 3.
I mean it would also give distinct differences in platforms which would be smarter, oppose to they’re all the same
Fair enough, however as i said I’m waiting to see more evidence on it.
You do realise though the soviet union was working on many prototype vehicles and transmissions.
Which ofc would likely be where this idea came from, same as T14 Armata it has a faster reverse speed as well.
I’m not saying it should be added with the limited information given.
Yes german EFTs needed brim 3 integration but in the game they are functionally the same as UK EFTs.
So? I dont think that anyones is doubting that russia would be able to make a not sucking transmission in the 21st century but that still leaves the question whether such a transmission was ever fitted to a vehicle that we have (or could have) in game.
You are very welcome to live in your imaginary bubble of dominance but thats not the case in reality…both sides were better than the other in certain areas and that is just a fact whether you like it or not
Edit: conveniently ignores the 30+ year old video of the T80UD with a better transmission because it doesnt fit into the narrative, nice
yeah in certain areas but in general the developmental gap between the 2 became smaller until the mid 70s when it widened again and then completely ripped apart after the fall. The ussr never was an equal to the west outside of some specific areas. And describing russia as catching up is laughable.
Because its the same as the other video. Entirely useless for the discussion or do you think that building a transmission faster than 4kmh is a remarkable achievement?
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
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
