Isn’t VISMOD used for training purposes only?

1 Like

VISMOD just means “Visual Modification” or “Visually Modified”, generally for the purposes of making something look like something else, meaning that a vehicle with random bits of added protection doesn’t count. Since this T-55 was made to support claims that Croatia received Leopard 1s, it fits that definition. You really only see VISMODs used for training so often because I’m pretty sure using them for combat, at least ones representing enemy vehicles, is a warcrime or something.

The devs know it’s inevitable now. LESS GO

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

We’ll all be disappointed by some Indian tech tree if we don’t stay cautiously optimistic at most 😉

New systems revealed at Partner 2023 so far!

Air defence system “HARPAS”, with twin 40mm autocannons and four RLN missiles of different variants.

Spoiler

Nora B-52 NG “Perun” artillery system, a new variant of Nora B-52 that aims to further mechanize the loading and firing process of this vehicle.

Spoiler

It will be looked into whether these can be added to either big or realistic trees, so keep your eyes peeled for the next update!

Another new goodies from Partner 2023 expo. A new variant of the M-84 with beefed up ERA and FCS.

Thank you for the input!

The Lazanski is already present in the tree, but the new PASARS-16 variant will be looked into.
An SPAA with an ATGM is… unorthodox to say the least.

It is rumored that Serbia bought 3 batteries of the HQ-17A

I’m not quite sure whether these are rumors or facts as of now, but alongside the HQ-17A there is also talk of the FK-2000, since the three ordered Pantsir batteries likely aren’t arriving any time soon.

Slovenia is also eyeing the purchase of the IRIS air defense system, will post photos/sources when or if they actually buy them ( as a slovene is should have a somewhat fast way of getting that info)

Twin Bofors plus quad SAMs looks like a great addition to a potential Yugo tree.

idk if u know but in my opinion lazar 3M should be removed or at least that particular prototype with russian turret be put in unused because its not gonna have it we all know why (russia’s “special military operation”) so because of that Serbs dont think those turrets are coming any time soon or if ever. Now Lazar 3M is gonna have new domestically produced zastava m12 30mm cannon with NATO (30x173mm) with two mounted ATGMs on the right (those serbian super malyutkas i forgot their name) and a grenade launcher.Turret looks super cool imo better for the game anyways than that russian turret.

So far we haven’t seen an alternative turret for the Lazar 3M, so for the time being this will be the one presented in the tree.
DUBS-20 and DUBS-30 has yet to be mounted on Lazar 3, though we have seen them successfully integrated on the BVP M-80AB2, so either these turrets or other foreign alternatives can be expected.

Another stuff revealed at Partner 2023 is the “Gvozdika-Carnation”, a modernized 2S1 with modern FCS and inertial navigation system. Given that we already have 2S1 in-game, this would be an easy addition into the game since it is essentially the 2S1 with much faster FCS.

When the Unused Vehicles list for Tank Destroyers gets expanded on with information and images it will be added there, since we feel there are more unique options available at a similar BR.
