T-72B3A (Arena-M): 4-Lines of Defense

APS is nice to have and on a pretty good platform like the T-72B3 it is a cool upgrade.
Compared to CR2 BN which while the APS is better the underlying armour quality is that of an 8.7

Wdym underlying? The composite on hull is like 500mm, which will absorb stock shells like the 3bm42. Sure it has weak spots, but so does every other tank in the game

Can a T-72B3 die to a 5.0 tank…

Yes CR2 has composites on the front plate but it also has huge weaknesses

On dev stream it (modifications screen) wasnt shown, so cant say for sure

In fact, any tank with more than 150mm of pen can pen t-72b3. Just have to nitpick weak spots

I don’t think it ever was seen in that armor configuration. Interesting.

Scratch that, forgot about in 2015 it was shown.

On dev, it’s called the T-72B3M. The one you showed could be a premium version that’s coming.

Its still an overall downgrade to even the T-80U.

Because it cant reverse and Russian mains often overextend and can’t reverse out of trouble.

In the dev server its quite nice

Reverse speeds go way beyond just “overextending”.

i wonder why this isnt close yet

I wonder if this will be the stock configuration, with Relikt side panels being a modification.

B3A is a newer vehicle right?

It’s fairly recent, yes.
