T-90M (Arena-M)

T-90M2 will likely be very similar if not identical to T-90M on the exterior. Some claim that it might integrate Monolith ERA ( Armata platform ) but this is also unlikely. Standard Arena-M and updated gearbox will be more than enough for the Ukrainian theater and beyond.

oh i know very well, this decision is up to the developers to decide, i speak as the implementation right now: missing the anti-era mechanic together with DM53, M338 and L27A1

many cases happened that only one nation gets a single new vehicle or game-mechanical and then other countries later, happened a lot with russia, germany and america so, nothing new

What do you think about the possible penetration of 3BM59 if it adds into game?

Heya there!
Roughly, should be +10 to 15mm of difference for the use of DU over Tungsten

It’s better to talk in terms of percentage instead of fixed numbers. In the case of 3BM59 we are talking about 10-14% difference.

The number i gave is based on gaijin’s formula, your document is correct but gaijin uses a different way to calculate penetration as you probably know already, if you follow said formula you get roughly 10-15mm pen more over 3BM60

Indeed, i’m aware of that, just wanted to bring context to readers.

“Source 3 ( Patent RU2841612C1): The KAZ defeat zone (Fig. 1, element 3) is explicitly depicted as a full hemispherical envelope surrounding the vehicle, providing direct visual confirmation of 360°/+90° coverage. Additionally, the interceptor munition is equipped with two-axis impulse thrusters (Fig. 4, elements 11 and 12) enabling it to rotate and engage threats from any direction within that hemisphere.”

Are you saying that each charge potentially has a 360° engagement zone?

Not each charge, 360°/+90° designates the angles covered by the APS . Charges can pivot to meet threats within that sector but that doesn’t mean that each charge can cover the whole sector. At least as far as im aware.

That’s unfortunate… hope they’ll at least fix the vertical protection angles.

Minimum target engagement speed should be 20 m/s instead of 70 m/s

Absolutely, comrad! Anything to balance out the T-90M

Hmmm. "It turns out the “beak’” on the T-90M is multi-piece, not a single solid unit like in the game.

Any chance to bug report it?

Man this tank is buggy.

The laser warning systems warns the completely wrong direction often.

And being damaged anywhere will randomly delete all the charges from one APS sector. Not even like the APS is damaged, just shot in tracks, deletes charges.

I’m trying to find the patent this was taken from. No luck so far.

Andrei_bt on X: "Gun mask protection device on the T-90M gun mantlet. They skimped on installing non-explosive reactive armor there, even though there's space for it — it ends up being more of a decorative solution. There's only one non-explosive reactive armor block on the entire T-90M. In the image, you can see a combined armor package protecting the embrasure zone of the T-90M." / X here?

There is no devlog about the T90MA ?
