This thing has -4 gun depression, worse then the already very bad gun depression of T-90A which is -4.5. lmao
Oplot for… CHINA? The f*ck?

And they never used or even tested the damn thing.
Unfortunately we have precedence because of the swedish Mi-28.

They did test it in 2015. There was also a delegation that went to Kharkiv to discuss the Oplot. It seemed likely they were gonna purchase them but they instead went for Chinese tanks.

The battle for correcting the armour rages on in the bug report system. I expect this will be labeled not a bug like the last 50 reports.
Maybe now that it’s being added to China, the Chinese players will complain about its missing armour and force gaijin to fix it XD.
I also just realized that it cannot be raised to 12.7 anymore since it’s being added as a squadron vehicle. Maybe gaijin deliberately is keeping the armour missing despite all evidence pointing otherwise so they can keep it at 12.3 and add it as a squadron tank to China. The (O)plot thickens…

Imo, a 50mm plate and era buff won’t necessarily make it a 12.7, rather it will secure its place at 12.3.

Would go hard ngl
Yeah perhaps.
Why Chinese getting when Paki don’t even used it unlike Thailand
this is BS.
Made my futile try too - Community Bug Reporting System
Pointed out that the only way to get ingame ERA protection of 280 is to use Nizh-1M(HKChPWS)(different ERA produced not by original manufacturer since 2018) promotion material.
Provided two army export broshures that use original KhSChKV-34 stating 80-90% effectiveness against KE rounds and tied them to manufacturers slide and video of testing where they shoot at the turret cheek. 93 mm LOS (60 mm resid. pen on turret cheek at 50 degrees) residual pen minus ingame 100m 3BM42 pen of 454 gives 361 mm of pen reduction which is almost exactly 80% which correlates with two broshures.

Turret leans 1.5 - 2 degrees forward.

I made a similar one but it was rejected, yours has more detail tho, fingers crossed.

I will point out some mistakes in your calculations regarding the turret tests using my own calculations. The turret module tested is at about a 60 degree angle instead of 50. This can be seen on the photo of the module after being shot, in the circled bit you can judge the angle to be closer to 60 degrees, although it is not an exact measurement, but more of a guess.
So in my opinion, LOS penetration at 60 degrees is about 120mm.
Your figure for 3BM42 penetration is also wrong, you’re using the value in game for 0 degrees, but BM42 performs better at higher angles, at 60 degrees, its penetration is actually 524mm.
(BTW the real life penetration of 3BM42 is actually stated to be 550mm at 100m.)
524 - 120 = 404mm penetration reduction achieved by the turret ERA.
So in the end, the reduction is still about 80% (~77%) however the kinetic reduction value for the tiles should be closer to 400mm.
Currently in game, two layers of ERA, their covers and the separators between them provide about 290mm of kinetic penetration reduction.
It can be safely said that the ERA is underperforming by 100-110mm.

Lmao they denied my report because OH GOD AI HELPED ME. Dublicated it with clean links on broshures. Community Bug Reporting System
If they will deny this too on the basis that links are still acquired with help of AI I’m unistalling this shit game lmao.

Not a bug

Updated the title to now include the BM Oplot-P as it does relate to the T in-game (both being specialised for their respective countries).
yep, bye bye guys
i love the oplot and its just a better tank than the chinese alternatives in a vacuum, but with china you know for a fact theyll get those orders on fast and have good scalability.

Yeah tbh the only real problem with Ukrainian tanks is the Kharkiv factory’s ability to fulfill orders. Now, more than ever cause of you know what.
Although we have seen some interesting Frankenstein projects come out recently like a T-90M turret mounted on a T-80U hull with what seems to be a Duplet or Nizh module on UFP.
