The Dev Server is Opening with Major Update “Tusk Force”! — 05.09.2025 (Dev Server is closed)

[Pheonix_RX01]

Can all nations even get aps on their mbts?

[kitchkitch26]

Really surprised this hasn’t been added a long time ago

[Kingtiez-live]

Maybe? I’m not entirely sure Japan has any real options outside of a concept, Sweden can probably get Norwegian 2A8, and not sure about France.

[Necronomica]

By the time the game is ready for the 2A8 hopefully Sweden has got it’s first strv 123 IRL. They were planned to start deliveries in 2026 when it was announced in late 2023, not sure if that timeline has changed at all.

[Kingtiez-live]

What does that one bring? A new thermal
Imager or gun?

[Necronomica]

You can read more here: ( Strv 123A incoming to Swedish military! )

I’ve seen some discussions/rumors around APS systems as well but nothing conclusive.

A video with some more info and visual walk around:

[Ayrek2023]

Yes they are, and they have been changed to MCLOS

[Fluffy_Bucketles]

Why is an air to air loadout now just as expensive as a payload consisting of kh38s or AASMs in ground?

[Morvran]

Because it would be unfair if the aircraft that can counter the KH-38MT costs any less :P

[Reedacted]

ML has the larger central fins allowing it to pull more, but yes the frame is the same

[Fluffy_Bucketles]

Doesn’t even make sense from that front, as the expensive options are ARH. Which are significantly less problematic to defend against whilst deploying 38s.

[Stona_WT]

Dev Server is now closed.

[not_a_bug1]

So the CM502 still useless, sad.

[Selasco]

so, we will not get new turret baskets yet… why gaijin cant keep a single promise? holy shit

New tank modules

We’re continuing to add new and updated internal modules for vehicles that don’t currently have them. For the T-64 and T-80 series, the autoloader module will be refined, and a new element reflecting the conveyor mechanism will be added above the turret ring. This new element will retain the same functionality of the autoloader module we have already, and will effectively make it easier for the autoloader system to be disabled. The vertical and horizontal drive models have also been refined, they are now more accurate and in general will take up a little more space inside the tank.

Before

After

As well as this, all T-72s, T-90s and ZTZ96s, ZTZ99s, the VT4A1 and the WZ1001 will all receive new detailed tank modules.

Expect to see these soon in more detail, with further tanks planned for the future too!

@Stona_WT

• T-72 (all variants), T-80 (all variants), T-90 (all variants), ZTZ96 (all variants), ZTZ99 (all variants), WZ1001(E) LCT, VT4A1, MBT-2000, Al-Khalid-I — new FCS (fire control system) modules have been added. They are still being configured and their destruction doesn’t yet affect the function of the tank systems.
• T-72 (all variants), T-80 (all variants), T-90(all variants), ZTZ96 (all variants), ZTZ99 (all variants), WZ1001(E) LCT, VT4A1, MBT-2000, Al-Khalid-I — elevation and horizontal drive modules have been improved and refined. They are still being configured and their destruction doesn’t yet affect the function of the tank systems.
• T-64 (all variants), T-80 (all variants) — the model of the autoloader module has been refined.

They have added more, at least general internal modules.

[Selasco]

cool, but this will impact very little the top tier… im asking turret basket for all tanks that dont have it yet type 10/txk, leclercs, challengers, merkvas, arietes… (if it have irl ofc)

[Morvran]

Challenger 2s dont have turret basket IRL.

Not that it would change anything. If the shot didnt kill , it would disable everything anyway

[Selasco]

so add to the rest then…

[Morvran]

Which clearly they have started to, with dozens of T-Series tanks and variants
