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.

From what I know, not above 14 Km/H, which is under Czech flag for the T-72M4CZ using an improved automatic transmission, not that would be great thing given that’s a 1 000 HP engine comparatively to the 1 200 HP from T-84 BM Oplot-Ts and 1 250 HP from regular T-80s and 1 500 HP proposed for later production. Object 187 proposed to have an improved powerpack from a T-80 which results a better reverse speed is the only I can think of for USSR tech tree at the moment using the T-72 chassis as base.

Obj. 187 my beloved.

More Eastern block T-72’s would be gas. Sucks so much the Moderna isn’t available without spending dumb amounts of money.

Indeed, Object 187 or fewer other more interesting additions for event vehicle. If Gaijin really wanted to push this one, as a premium would be more welcome in my opinion considering that as a event vehicle is not unique as the others, even from this new event cycle.
