In my opininon,this tank should not be 11.0.It should be close to T72B3 but a little bit lower.I think BR placement of 11.3-11.7 would be much better.
Okey you have much lower hp but you have APS and 3BM60
has its br actually been confirmed? i think it’ll be 11.7 minimum, if not 12.0 because of 3BM60 and APS
It’s more comparable to the T-90A rather then the T-72B3 and B3A in performance
It trades mobility and some armor to upgrade from an Soft kill APS to a hard kill APS when compared to the T-90A at the same BR
holy cope its not even 10min after datamines posted the br lmao
It has much better gun handling than T90A but okay,it has a little bit worse engine i don’t think it will damage the vehicle performance too much.Basically , it trades its armor and mobility of T72B3 fully upgraded it will get APS and better gun handling.So it should be higher than T90A.It has much better gun handling and hard kill APS instead of soft kill.

Maybe they will change it by I don’t know.
I would expect it to be 11.7 because we can start from the B3A that is already in the tech tree. The worse armor and engine would only bring it down 2 br steps at most. I don’t know its thermals yet and the gun traverse difference is neglible. Even then, a K5 UFP is still very powerful, I know that long schlong DM53 can barely pen a T-80U, so I would assume it would be stopped by the B3 with K5.
why would T73B3Arena be between T72B3 and T72B3A when its worse than both of them? its a sidegrade to T90A which is 11.0
Because he has no idea what he’s talking about.
Isn’t the USSR getting too many MBTs? Let me remind you that the US last received MBTs three years ago.
It is not sidegrade of T90A.It has better gun handling and APS than T90A.I am more supportive to 11.3.I only said 11.7 for the dicussion as a suggestion.I don’t think it has to be that high.
Yes it is.
It also has worse mobility and armor than T-90A.
Its perfectly fine at 11.0, its a sidegrade of the T-90A, nothing special
Yes.It has worse mobility.K5 and Relikt ERA difference dont make a significant diff.Side shots with K5 and Relikt will give the same result.Front shot will be always to same place LFP.Armor is the same.APS will destroy most of the ATGM at the BR.Gun handling is much better at T72B3 than T90A.
T90A
Horizontal 16.8
Vertical 2.4
T72B3
Horizontal 28
Vertical 28
The K5 coverage on the sides is tiny
Its the same gun handling as the 10.7 Leopard 2A4’s.
On the otherhand, still a T-72 so no depression, no reverse speed, and no mobility
We have just had to endure an incredibly OP soviet vehicle being at a stupid BR. I think it is perfectly reasonable to be concerned about them trading the BMPT for another under BRed soviet vehicle
this is not the same as bmpt level. no where near
With the soviets and Gaijin, you never know.
i understand about the soviet getting all the love the past 4 months but this just a less armored t90A with aps.
So a tank with a top tier shell and fairly decent survivability that can see 10.X vehicles?
Yeah, they are annoying to fight
