Some more photos of Skyranger 35 on Leo 1 base
- BMP-1TS equipped with EW to counter drones. As drones become a more important aspect of the game, it’s mods like this that will provide increased survivability.
dude that reminds of new gta 6 truck with few modifications, sorry i was not able to know
The problem with that is, Sweden got it’s Tiger 2, yet you can use basically the exact same argument as to why it couldn’t get it. Could probably make the same arguments about all the captured vehicles in the game, come to think of it. Gaijin is unlikely to care about how realistic long term operation is when it comes to vehicle additions. The real thing that kills the idea of a US T-90 for me is that there is only one way they could’ve gotten it, and that would set off a big chunk of the playerbase, and if it did come from Gaijin, its more likely a way to find and plug leaks. Though, if they do add it, a Ukrainian tech tree would become very likely. Speaking of…
While I think a Ukrainian tech tree could work, I can’t help but feel it would be better as a thick subtree to Poland, along with Czecheslovakia, provided they remove the arbitrary line limit. Personally, I prefer it if we go down the path of thick trees with a lot of lines rather then arbitrarily limiting TTs. That way, you can get all the cool vehicles from the nations.
Leopard 1A5DK with a little bit of ERA
“little bit of ERA”
ERAbrams from recent training
And yes these are just screenshots from the training video

- New photo of the T-64BV zr. 2017, a workhorse of the Ukrainian Army. No matter what way Ukraine is added, this should be added. It’s a highly unique T-64 with new ERA that’s superior to K-5 not to mention more of it (look at the LFP), 3rd-generation thermal imager for the Gunner, and Kombat GL-ATGM.
Kontakt-1
Doesn’t Nizh also use the regukar Kontakt-1 blocks for mounting? Do we know for sure which ones it’s using?
K-1 and Nizh-1M can indeed use the same container so it’s almost impossible to tell without sources specifically stating.
They use same blocks, however original source noted this to be K-1, if you need I can link it, however I am very sure it will be against rules if I do this openly in this thread.
So shortly saying it’s Kontakt-1.
Idk abt the sep, it would ruin the top line tank for America, its like why play America when you can get, t90, leopard 2a6 and sep all at ounce. Keep the sep in America just so America is unique in some way. Im ok with SA going to Ukraine since its not in game yet and it would be a worse AIM. They could just add it as a event Abrams since its American made tank.
No SEP’s are going to Ukraine. The M1A1 SA Ukraine uses is about the same as the AIM (in terms of gameplay, IRL it’s stripped of sensitive technologies). The only thing the AIM and by extension the SA-UKR is missing is the TMS (thermal sight) for the Commander. The SA the US Army uses has 3rd-generation DU armor (HAP-3) while the Ukrainian version uses FMS Armor (export armor). The Ukrainian version, the M1A1 SA-UKR, is equipped with K-1 blocks around the vehicle (on top of ARAT-I) which is unique in its own right so no worries on copy and paste/taking away of uniqueness.
The Ukrainian Army’s top foreign vehicles are:
- Leopard 2A6
- Leopard 2A4 (K-1 Addon-armor)
- M1A1 SA-UKR (K-1/ARAT-I Addon-armor)
- Challenger 2 (Cage Armor)
Will not include trophy vehicles.
Ukraine was given M1A1s with SEP kits, The M1A1s Ukraine was given where under the M1A1 UA term. Meaning its there own version. From what we have seen its a M1a1 FEP with no commander optic, no APS, and SEP v1 ERA package.
Correction to my former statement this would be a better AIM since DU rounds where given to Ukraine.
The AIM we have in-game is the Aussie variant which is a weird hybrid. The actual AIM would utilize DU armor as well.
The M1A1 AIM in-game and the Ukrainian M1A1 SA-UKR both have TMS (Thermal Sight Modules) for there Commander’s stations. It’s attached to the .50cal but it’s not Hunter-killer capable. Unfortunately Gaijin hasn’t implemented it even though it’s definitely modeled. It would provide a 2nd-generation Thermal Imager that would act like a thermal binocular essentially. The kit you’re referring to is TUSK which is found on the US Army’s M1A1 AIM, M1A1 SA, M1A2 SEP’s, Aussie M1A1 AIM’s, etc. It’s not the full kit, it’s just the ARAT-I ERA and Loader’s Shield for the most part. Also has a SCWS.
