The new T-72B3 "Arena" is not fair

This tank’s armor is not fair at all. It has top-tier ammunition. Its frontal armor is the same as the Arena at BR 12.3, and the Arena’s armor at 12.3 is more than sufficient. I support increasing this tank’s BR to 11.7 or 12.0.

  • be worse T-90A

To be honest, I didn’t liked this event since the start, it was a good vehicle to put people into top tier without absurd amounts of money, but it’s unfair? At the end of the day is a T-90A with a functional active protection system. The battle rating discrepancy between the T-72B3 (battle rating 11.3) and T-72B3A (battle rating 11.0) is due the lack of additional side armor.

It’s frontal armor is also the same as the T-72B 1989, which is 10.3 (and not a very good one at that).

Is there a T-72/T-90 variants that can reverse as quickly as T-84?

Sure, when M1A1 HC and friends go to 12.7.

It’s trash, no Relikt and the export engine is agonizingly slow. The regular T-72B3 is still the best of the tech tree T-72s.
