Will we ever see recent modifications of Russian tanks with extra ERA?

Russia has made speedy modifications to T-72B3 and T-90M respectively to help deal with the sheer amount of anti tank weaponry aimed at them in the ongoing war. Can we ever expect to see these added or is it “too soon”? I know these modifications are just cope IRL but I know this will only make them harder to kill in this game and people already complain about it.

Check out the ERA that wraps around the entire back of the T-72B3’s turret bustle and the ERA hanging on the sides of the T-90M’s turret sides.

We’re not going to see anything from the current conflict, that’s kinda obvious.

Same way we aren’t seeing Ukrainian tanks anytime soon. The flag is already in the files and I’m almost 100% certain that Gaijin planned to have them in the Soviet tree (Rus/Ukr both being successors to the USSR), however given the current situation it’s obviously not feasible without massive amounts of backlash.

There are a lot of weapons being fielded, just because the ERA can be defeated by modern tandem ATGMs and darts doesnt mean the era wont be effective against the host of cold war surplus and other things being used.

Kinda like a guy irl having stock RPG7 (heat fs) and hes grinding out to the NLAW (dart). You still gonna run into these people and having era is nice.

I do remember reading about supposed leaks of vehicles in the files, one of them being a 2023 variant of a T-80 or something like that, but it just seems highly unlikely that it’s accurate

Probably for the best I guess. From a purely military vehicle interest these are very nice but if it was added it would mean shots to engine or sides would be blocked by ERA. It would ruin balance. Just look at double layered ERA. I don’t want to face that in my challengers.

No Tutle tank :(

Or Supacat with ASRAAM. Damn so many cool vehicles from this war that we might not see in game.

You can buy it for GE like all other modern nation flag decals, unless they just removed those at some point. Those flag used to be free until 2014 saw a sudden rise in teamkills directed at people with Ukrainian flags.

Naturally, this being Gaijin, they decided to make people buy flags instead of punishing the teamkillers. I won’t speculate as to why since everyone can do that on their own.

He means the flags for vehicle stat cards
