A Ukrainian T-80UD that’s been fitted with additional Kontact-1 ERA on the LFP and folding net on the back of the turret.
The T-80UD is the foundation of the BM Oplot-series. The vehicle externally is very identical to the T-80U but is equipped with a 1,000hp 6TD-1 Diesel Engine as well as many other modifications. It was produced at the Malyshev Plant in Kharkiv prior to the fall of the Soviet Union as well as in the late 90’s for Pakistan.
Not many of these vehicles remain within Ukraine but the few that do are in the process or have already been updated for continued service. There’s been at least 3-4 spotted.
Something similar to this project. Don’t get me wrong,2 missiles is still good, but something like a 100 (which technically can fit in a shipping container horizontally) is far better.
It wouldn’t be able to sadly. Maybe some non-player controlled HIMARS vehicles off map and those players who are on the map have the ability to call on a HIMARS strike or something, idk. Kind of like Artillery Strike in-game.
Edit: There’s no crew faces that are visible and I’ve already used AI to remove the member that was. It is impossible to identify the member that has there back against the camera.
Due to certain issues and conflict, I will not be updating the suggestion any further but will continue posting vehicles in the comments section. I apologize to everyone for this. The post as it is well-covers the opportunities this tree could bring. Not to mention., Gaijin Developers have sufficient information from the post as is (including comments), discussing ideas, new vehicles, independent and sub-tree ideas, and technology developed, as well as a showing of a strong 2/3’s majority of people are in favor of the tree. On the old forum, this majority was even stronger. If anyone wants additional information on my reasoning, please pm me. I will NOT discuss why here on the open forum. I still welcome people posting there own iterations of the tree using the tool here as well as I’m happy to provide any template files I have to anyone who asks (however, credits to my design must be noted):
The ‘Amulet’ combat module is a remote system developed by Luch’s Design Bureau that is equipped with 2x RK-2S/RK-2OF missiles, and a 2nd-generation thermal imager. Its standard optics have two modes of operation, a wide (4° 20x 3° 10”) and narrow (1° 15 x0° 50”) field of view which were adopted from the Stugna-P ATGM system. In this case it’s mounted on a BRDM-2 which was the original vehicle it was tested on. This BRDM-2 also had a mounted KT-7.62mm machine gun. The system has also seen adoption on HMMWV.
