Pictures of the round itself are nowhere to be seen. The patent drawing is the best we got yet.
Ahh I see, could have confuse it for some other round. But man if all these long rods come into the game like the vaccum and a4 shells, leos will be in grate danger. (hahah)
I´d say current Svinets should beat Leo 2A6 levels of protection (just like DM53 should defeat tanks with 2nd generation ERA yet it doesn´t) but thats a different issue.
Going by the patent drawing and depending on the velocity, Vacuum could pen ingame something like 850-870mm of RHA (60º).

Looks Cool. But aren’t these images still classified inside Russia?
No, they are used for educational purposes inside of Kazan Tank School, that’s where the original footage is from IIRC, they do not actually belong to the watermark.

im very late but this is such insane cope that i had to butt in, yet the t14 production has “stopped” there reason why i put in brackets is because the t14 production NEVER started in the first place, the t14 BARELY exist, every single vehicle they have is different from one another in some way. also they have 20 whole armatas this is what they managed in YEARS of production. its as much of a prodution vehicle as the su 57. which is to say it isnt

Mass production; UralVagonZavod stated they’ll be converting all or most of the production lines of the T-14 Armata specially in favor of the T-90M.
And vehicles like T-14 Armata doesn’t need to be Mass produced because there are already cheaper and capable vehicles like the T-90M.
But in-game would be a very nice vehicle to have and probably the first step into newer generation MBTs, something I’m waiting for a long time.

Say what? T-14 Armata doesn’t have that absurd protection this is for sure obvious on the design. In-game would be like any other T-80 or T-72, with exception the crew is on the front;
In reality I see T-14 Armata protection very poor. In-game wouldn’t be a big of a deal, and if you and many others thinks the T-14 Armata has a absurd protection for the game, congratulations, you got fooled by the propaganda you mentioned.

i dont meant RAW ARMOR (which whilst isnt absurd is by no means the same as a t80 or t72 at least not by the manifacturer claims ). i meant as in the whole package. again go search what is claimed with regards to the t14 ECW, the fact they claim their aps is capable of shooting down APFSDS penetrators. if we take the manifacturer claims as they say, the t14 would be nigh invulnerable as long as all it systems are functional and armed, of course repeated attacks would be a problem. but that isnt exactly saying much when it claims to be able to shoot down incoming missiles without even relying on the explosive APS and to intercept 1700m/s apfsds penetrators simultaneuosly, oh and it also claims to be able to jam modern missiles ontop of that, and this is just the Hard-kill protection and im sure i missed something.
im once again telling you to read up on what they claim with regards to the t14, it can by no means be implemented yet, and considering what i claims i cant really see it ever come in game. same for shit like abrams x(also insanely absurd tank but its a expensive as fuck tech demostrator not a production vehicle) my original reply got hidden because it qas apprently inappropiate but i forgot to say, no i didnt get fooled by their propaganda, but whst the russians claims is literally the only data avaliable on the t14. As it doesnt see combat and it hasnt even entered service besides on paper we would have to take what they say on their word or not implement it at all. Lets not kid outselves here
T-14 Armata + bias = total mess
It may be a bit like the others but it will change up the dynamic in the Soviet tree for sure, I’m looking forward to the Armata, new darts, new barrel launched ATGMs, advanced active protection system, very good mobility, a protected crew compartment, thermal coating and radar absorbing material and so on.
It can come in two or three models as well.
Probably the early and late models, I don’t think we’ll see the 152 mm variation any soon. I couldn’t find any official information reporting the use/tests of the 152 mm cannon on a T-14 built platform.
I don’t expect to see a 152mm variant until after one is revealed, a few months ago they started doing tests with the 2A83 gun, so I guess they’re planning this variant still. Only time will tell.

I don´t see where people get this impression from actually. Poor protection compared against what?
Many forget that T-90M protection levels vs KE already reaches 800-850mm and T-14 has a newer generation of dynamic armor and all of its heavy base armor is concentrated in a single section of the tank instead of being distributed among turret cheeks and frontal hull. And still the tank is heavier than predecessors. On top of this theres the APS and other active systems.
The fact that the turret will be very vulnerable especially against medium caliber fire is a trade off that won´t make the tank OP ingame. The crew will be very hard to kill but in return the player will spend a good portion of the ingame matches repairing the tank.

It’s going to suck, a single shot to the side and you will lose all your crew the lower plate is far more elevated than T series tanks. It’s going to offer nothing as an upgrade over the T-80BVM - T80BVM Obr23
Not so sure about that, it really depends on the shot placement/how the tank is situated and what exactly is shooting at it. I believe it’ll be a huge step up from what the Soviets are currently working with in game now.

where you get that the T90M has 800 to 850 mm of protection against kinetic?
Sources. Where else?
