Sick. I hope we see the BTR-70DI that has the Zaslin APS equipped with a BM-7 or similar module.
Currently it has the 14.5mm KPVT Machine Gun, 2x Ready-to-Fire Barrier-212 (RK-2S) ATGM’s with 2x spares, a 30mm KBA-117 Grenade Launcher, and coaxial KT-7.62mm machine gun. There is a version of the BTR-70DI equipped with a Ingul Remote Weapon Station that does have a 30mm autocannon on it, it doesn’t have the APS equipped.
Yes*, on the MTLB chassis as the first vehicle!
This can replace it, but shouldnt be another independent vehicle
The BTR-94 is a better platform in all aspects
In game? We have the same weapons system on the MTLB in the Soviet tree.
As your own tree - no. there is no point in this and we will have a second clone wars tree + a lot of Ukrainian modernizations of Soviet equipment, they are not that interesting and will not bring anything new to the game, in fact these are simple T64/72s and 80s that are already in the game. Therefore, it is better to place them in the Soviet tree, like Russian, Syrian, Czech tanks and so on.
I will definitely add this vehicle in the upcoming tree update.
Also, thinking of adding the BTR-7 (Parus) as like a 8.7 BR vehicle since many of them aren’t equipping the Barrier-212 ATGM system. Pretty much a wheeled autocannon boi.
Indeed, Ukrainian TT has better, researchable options.
But also it’s good to have some variants for distant future development. Non-museum, actually used vehicle fits into that category.
Personally I think it’s better if this would be a premium option or a one off event vehicle. The T-84 is just better overall so the captured T-90M isn’t necessarily needed.
I’m pretty content with the development of the BMP-1TS. Seems like the Spys module has came a long way and has become a staple of the UAF, with it becoming equipped with more units. A cost effective way to bring the BMP-1 to more of a modern standard. It seems the two main Ukrainian developed IFV’s revolve around the BMP-1TS and BTR-4E.
I can see my top lineup if the tree were to become a reality:
If this is added, i think it´s better to create a new tree branch. Like when the south american thing was suggested, one new tree with all this post-soviet independent countries stuff. Because the polish, the czechs or the slovakians have some really good material to work with (some goofy stuff also).
