Curious to why you think it will be the best tank in the world?
Why do you think it’s the worst?

F-150 is getting less issue than the T-14 armata.
Not that many things are specifically known about it, but some of what is doesnt point to it being great, as far as I remember it uses old french thermals that they can no longer get due to sanctions (hope i dont get banned for saying sanctions) and its engine is a big topic for debate with the long since parroted “modified Sla-16 engine” but as far as im aware it uses an oil pumping engine (wether or not it was actually derived from the Sla.16) was dismissed due to poor performance and technical issues. As well as the Autoloader not being easily avaliable (unless maybe that has been changed idk) and there being a dubiouis lack of backup optical cameras, and lastly there being hydraulicly sealed hatches on the tank last I’ve seen.
For all i know some of this has been fixed or changed in newer versions of the T14, but the previosly mentioned issues were supposedly on the first production model, not the prototype, i dont know for sure about all of the info tho, so yeah if you have newer information feel free to provide it.

Lmao almost all of the above is not true
So much we dont know. I would say this I feel the design is massively flawed. Rushed and ill thought out.
We have seen M2s disable T-90Ms with autocannons. You lose those cameras you have no auxiliary or backup sighting system.
The autoloader, autoloaders can jam and in the crew configuration they cannot work around that problem.
Mobility…the power plant we don’t know it looks like an X configuration which will provide good torque but poor BHP output.
Fire power again we don’t know Vacum 1 looks good on paper.
Protection system…well having only cameras for view ports an APS system that shrapnels risks wiping out crews ability to see and fight.
Armour again no idea, with the efficacy of stacking AT mines you risk losing the whole crew if it drives over a mine.
Hydraulically sealed hatches…take a hit system fails and you cannot escape…
As i said smacks of just design and produce something.
Do i see massive wholesale changes absolutely. T-14 will end up more like a Leopard 2 than it currently is.
The auxiliary sight under their eyes, when did Bradleys disable a T90M? As far as I saw, they only damaged the tank’s FCS and perhaps damaged the turret ring rotation system. The tank protected the crew and fulfilled its duty.
MZ and AZ autoloaders are completely reliable and won’t simply jam out of nowhere.

Turret drive was rotating from the damage and the driver to his credit managed to jam the turret and tank against the tree. Allowing the crew to escape.
T-14 uses a new autoloader design, even the best systems can fail in combat. Not having access to the autoloader or breach is to me a massive oversight.

Tell me you don’t know what you’re talking about without telling me what you’re talking about.

It’s a situation that could happen to anyone; the crew was scared and under pressure. Their commander probably gave the order to leave the vehicle because he likely knew drones were coming, which is the most obvious thing to do in that case, if evacuating the vehicle isn’t possible.

Definitely did protected its crew, the loss was huge considering the cause (M2 Bradley IFV) which is why I believe that T-14 Armata will be less impactful when compared to the T-15 Barbaris due to the sheer firepower that a autocannon can offer compared to an regular caliber cannon which slower reload and so slower reply to enemy threat.
Hopefully we see, soon, improvements to the T-14 Armata regarding these clear issues to the vehicle, specially the less protected turret where the main critical parts lay on, considering how advanced is the modern warfare and so is tanks being less and less present in the battlefield where as support vehicles like armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles is more and more present.
Yeah, that’s definitely a win for a T-series tank, since they usually try to deliver their crew to the ISS.

Though I would suspect this vehicle will make an appearance at some point in the future soon.
