  1. From the quote you originally posted, it sounds like multi-layers of the stuff will really effective against APFSDS. How hilarious if it renders the M829E4 obsolete.

    That would be a LOL! moment __lol_face_in_the_earth___by_palomy5.jpg and NATO would be well behind the Russian's like they were for most of the cold war :D  :D  :D  

    Say what you will but the Tank gap in the cold war gave the Russians the edge from 1947-1991

  2. Any game that says the chieftan is more armored than thr t-64 is worth writing off anyways

    Its the T-64/Object-432 and its was 370mm vs APFSDS,  Now the T-64A/Object-434 is 450mm vs APFSDS

     

    I agree, AW is going by WoT road and manage to go maybe even futher at times, in regards of in game presentation of real serial produced vehicles with a lot of avaliable information about them.

    Armoured Warfare is still in EA4 and we still have EA5 and EA6 and maybe EA7 befor we hit beta

  3. If it can engage a 1,700 m/s target, it probably won't take long to engage a 3,000 m/s target. Zaslon can actually hit ~1,700 m/s APFSDS but is only rated at 1,200 m/s, so Afganit may already be up there. 

     

    We all know Relikt can be jammed, because it uses radar, because wiki says so.  :mellow:

    This Afghanit APS may be Russia's stepping stone to directed energy weapons,  Russia has long had a history of surprising the world with revolutionary stuff like (AK-47) (VA-111 Shkval) (APS underwater rifle) (S-75 Dvina) (T-64A) (T-34) (Zulu v) (R-36MUTTKH)

    And look up (List of space exploration milestones, 1957–1969) and (list of space stations)

  4. The Object 187 explosive reactive armour is Malahit,  The T-14 reactive armour is Malachit,  Is this a typo on the Object 187 web page or are there two Russian M named reactive armour vehicles Malahit and Malachit?

     

    As fare as I know Relikt is a cheaper downgraded version of Malahit or is it Malachit?,  And yes you are correct Mike E the T-14 does not need reactive armour with active protection system Afghanit.

     

    T-14 features an active protection system Afghanit (Russian: Афганит). This system includes a millimeter-wavelength radar to detect, track and intercept incoming anti-tank munitions, both kinetic energy penetrators and tandem-charges.[2][35] Currently, the maximum speed of the interceptable target is 1,700 m/s.

  5. This has little to do with 1980s Russian tanks,  But im looking at the T-14 Armata and it says dual-reactive armour Malachit,  Is this a new Russian reactive armour and if it is,  Is it better then Relikt?,  A why does it say dual-reactive armour Malachit and not dual explosive reactive armour Malachit?  Is Malachit non-explosive reactive armour or is it Electric reactive armour?

     

    Both the chassis and the turret are equipped with the latest Russian ERA system from the front, sides and the top.

  6. Ok and as to Armoured Warfare they're adding or will add the Expeditionary tank and the T-14 Armata to the game,  So I have hope that we will see more unmanned remote controlled turret armoured fighting vehicles.

     

    LoooSeR you can you can greatly contribute to Armoured Warfare if you like to with you're knowledge of Russian vehicles,  My forum thread Obsidian-287 relies heavily on your work in this thread.

  7. Wasn't the Object 292 equipped with a modified 152 mm howitzer 2A65?,  There is a old post on Armoured Warfare that the main purpose for Russian 152mm gun tanks was to use Nuclear shells in Tank vs Tank shootouts and not APFSDS.

     

    But enough of that,  I love your work ( Putin's Alt Account ) and hope that all of these Russian Objects and more find there way in to Armoured Warfare.
