Ukraine Ground Forces Tree

Suggestions Ground
2821

That’s one issue I had with it initially, is there a top rank helicopter that can accompany the tree? I heard some things about AH-1Z’s but who knows if that will even happen. Something similar to the Apache or even a Kamov.

    • Estimated BR: 10.3
  • RK-10-K, RK-10-OF, RK-2S, RK-2V, and RK-2OF missiles with penetrations ranging from 800-1,100mm of RHA behind ERA from a tandem-HEAT warhead or HE-FRAG warheads, and ranges from 5km to 12km. Speeds of 250m/s up to speeds of 550m/s, depending on the missile. Other features for the helicopter specifically include Auto-tracking, thermals, better IRCM from the indigenous ‘ADROS’ KT-01AV, retaining the weapons of the Mi-24P, new more powerful engines, electronics (both indigenous and from SAGEM) and more.

I’m gonna have to do suggestions on the Mi-24PU1/PU2, and Mi-8MSB-V helicopters. I need to look more into them because there’s overlapping of the PU1 and PU2, not to mention the RK-2V missiles with 800mm of RHA penetration behind ERA, and a range of 7.5km, tested for 4x but up to 8-12x of them on the Mi-8MSB-V helicopter which makes it a ATGM missile bus.

What a beauty
I sincerely hope Gaijin adds more extensive vehicle customisation so we can display “battle damage”

To add to this, even though M109A6 is a later iteration and has upgraded FCS, it does lack features other M109 upgrades have.
Like “burst fire” capable semi-automatic loader in Belgian M109A4BE & Austrian M109A5Ö

Mi-2MSB-V - I believe it should be lowered in br, all it has is 16 unguided rockets with a pair of 12,7 MGs or grenade launchers.

While there are some museum pieces painted with Ukrainian markings, I believe these did not ever serve within Ukrainian army.

Additionally I’d suggest these two:

Navy’s Ka-29

Yeah, its like 9K121 Vikhr’s speed which is at 600m/s but 10-12km is nice considering.

By the way, my current project system:

I think they were inherited but not ever used due to being obsolete. Like the other heli’s though 🤙 might hit you up on it as I get through my projects in the post above ^

Possibly. Essentially I need to know if it has/is:

  • Fully Stabilized.
  • Thermal Imagers or Passive-IR.
  • Laser Rangefinder.
  • Auto-tracking/IRST.
  • Fully remote/separate from the crew.
  • Decent ammo capacity.

Then I can add it as BR 8.0 as the starter for the SPAA section.

I also do know that the module did have a modernization, whether or not that was carried over to the BTR-94.

2835

In my research of armored vehicles of Ukraine I found several options for modernization of T-64BV mod.2017

Mainly the modernization includes a new thermal imaging sight TPN1-TPV (generation 3), made in the case of the old sight TPN-1-49-23, night instruments of the commander and driver mechanic, navigation equipment using GPS, digital radio station “Lybid K-2RB” based on “Motorola”, replacement of elements of the ERA with new ones of “Nizh” type and a number of other minor changes.

Known variants that differ visually.

T-64BV rev. 2017 (SETC 2017) - several vehicles of incomplete modernization variant. Externally, it differs from the T-64BV only by the GPS antenna behind the commander’s hatch.

T-64BV rev. 2017 (Kharkiv, serial) - differs by the installation of a GPS antenna behind the commander’s hatch, with a single ERA container installed on the right end of the left turret block.

T-64BV rev. 2017 (Lviv, serial) - differs by the installation of GPS antenna on the radio antenna mast, two ERA containers are installed on the right end of the left turret block.

T-64BV rev. 2017 (Kharkiv and Lviv, exhibition) - additionally installed aft ladders, spare track mounts moved to the forward part of the over-track shelves, LED tail lights are used.

  • Specifications:
    • BM-7 Parus Combat Module:
      • Armament:
        • 30mm ZTM-1 autocannon.
        • KT-7.62mm coaxial machine gun.
        • 30mm KBA-117 automatic grenade launcher.
        • 2x RK-2S or RK-2OF anti-tank/HE guided missiles.
      • Electronics:
        • 3rd-generation OEP-VN thermal camera/sight for the Gunner.
        • Panorama-2P independent passive-IR camera/sight for the Commander.
        • Laser Rangefinder.
        • Track-M Fire Control System.
        • Full weapon stabilization system.
    • 12x 81mm Smoke Grenade Launchers.
      • 6x installed on the combat module, 6x others installed on the top-rear of the hull near the rear exit.
    • 240hp YaMZ-238B Diesel Engine:
      • Max Speed: ~50km/h
        • There have been sources stating that the 300hp UTD-20 V6 diesel engine and a new transmission has been a late-modernization to correct the issues of the power-train. Further analysis is required.
    • Addon Armor:
      • 7.62mm AP all-around protection.
      • 12.7mm AP frontal protection.
  • Description:
    • The BMP-1LB is an infantry fighting vehicle that was developed on the chassis of a MT-LBu, that is in production in Ukraine. The typical vehicle is equipped with an unmanned 14.5mm KPVT weapon station with a 2-channel thermal imager but has been also utilized with the unmanned BM-7 Parus combat module. Additional armor has been welded around the vehicle, increasing protection as well as providing a form of ‘spaced’ armor protection against small caliber CE-based munitions. The vehicle itself has had quite a few issues with its engine and gearbox, with it being unsuitable for long-distance maneuvering. Not to mention, a major complaint was the intermittent failure of the 14.5mm KPVT weapon station which prevents the crew from having any offensive capacity. In response, the BM-7 Parus module corrects this, providing the crew a multitude of weapons in the event of a failure, hot-gun, or malfunction. Overall, some of these issues have slowly been corrected and have made progress in quality and firepower.
    • Anyways, this is Ukraine’s first mass-produced tracked IFV in a long time and was designed to meet immediate battlefield requirements and be a short-term solution with upgrades/fixes over time. Ukraine has a surplus of BMP-1’s and MT-LB’s but is running low on certain APC’s and IFV’s such as the BMP-2. This vehicle provide an option that offers similar firepower and can supplement other tracked IFV modifications like the BMP-1TS.
  • In-game:
    • The vehicle is a unique project to Ukraine that features serious firepower with its remote BM-7 Parus combat module, capable of destroying ground targets and helicopters with ease between its 30mm with 3UBR8 APDS rounds, 30mm grenade launcher, or the Barrier-212 system that has access to the tandem-HEAT RK-2S missile with over 800mm of penetration behind ERA. It can spot targets with its advanced thermal imaging system and has an independent 360-degree sight for the commander. The biggest drawback however, is the rudimentary/rugged hull of the vehicle that lacks sufficient armor, being unable to withstand anything greater than 12.7mm frontally and its mobility, using an old engine and transmission from the original MT-LBu (which may have been corrected, TBD). The vehicle has play room with its BR as some units have had the ATGM system equipped while others have not.
      • Estimated BR: 8.3-9.0
        • Depending on ATGM equipped or not.
      • Reason for mention:
        • Since this vehicle is produced rather than a refurbished BMP-1 or BMP-2, it was only natural to discuss the vehicle. It’s unique, and was designed very quickly to be integrated in the field. It will be added in some capacity to the WIP tree.
        • A suggestion may be done on the vehicle due to its rapid history of development and capability to house different weapon systems.

‘When in doubt, ‘Parus’ it out.’

Seems like the BM-7 Parus combat module has really taken off on several combat vehicle platforms.
