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

Your experience in the T-72B3? You have 3 matches…

Like I mentioned before, I mostly play at my buddy’s place on his account.

I’m looking forward to this regardless of how useful it will be, I’m going with the Rule of Cool.

Now that the t-72b3a is coming to war thunder, why not also add the t-90m with arena-m in the future? Also the vehicle being 12.0 is kind of a downer 😔

It’s a T-72B3 with an APS why shouldn’t it be 12.0?

Aps doesn’t give that much protection against common munitions: apfsds. Sure, the heli atgm’s and spikes would be neutralized but those aren’t common

Wouldn’t be surprised. Still, also, would love the actual T-72B3A (the one with Relikt ERA in hull), preferably as a module

Also airborn ordinance. Although those more angle sensitive - Arena-M’s +100 degree should cover this nicely
Edit: Whoops, correction, vertical is -20/+40

So, it can counter mavericks, brimstones and hammers?

Also what was the horizontal coverage of the aps?

It should I think. At least per game logic if speed allows. At very least I know GL6 (the APS of VT-5) can intercept Kh-38 (I know it anecdotal, but I did survive the few times those things were raining)

Full 360 in 4 sectors with 3 uses per sector
Edit: just adding the picture from dev-stream

Ah, I meant vertical coverage sorry

-10/+40

Yeah, my mistake, mixed horizontal with vertical. Still, +40 is pretty nice (for comparison: GL6 is -10/+50 and Iron Fist is -15/+55)

Not bad aps tbh, compared to trophy this has 6 more charges with better reaction speed and vertical traverse

Wil it not have the Relikt armour as an upgrade?

Does this also get lws?

I mean, it already has relikt side era from get go

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
