What's the armor on an M1A2S look like?

Standard export M1A2 without DU I think.

(funnily enough Morocco is going to get a bunch of DU equipped Abrams soon)

Welcome o7

Nice article. 

The Aerogavin has a worthy competitor!

 

Not badass enough

Hell, even Iran was planning to replace them with M-84s. Which are modified T-72M1s... 

Sadly, nobody has had the vision to make an armored warfare game called "T-64 does NATO."

But think of the Chieftain fanboys man! I still can't forget the AW thread about the Chieftain... 

The wonders of post-war HEAT rounds.

 

The average penetration of Obus-G was 380mm, and aside from HE-frag and smoke, that's all an AMX-30 carried (at least until they got APFSDS).  Could you imagine the butthurt if this were accurately modeled?

Surprise T-64 comes and says hi

Suddenly the AMX-30 is useless until 1982, when it finally got APFSDS.

Though I highly doubt they'll add the T-64 in WT. At least for now.

If I am not wrong, they already said Russian actions are counter productive. Which is bullshit, but this is America we're talking about.

I want the 76 version in particular, especially with the cool multi-baffle muzzle brake

But the -85 has better penetration than the KT, yet much lighter, smaller and has better shells.

The amount of Soviet/Russian haters on WT forums... pfft.

Passed recoil tests without stabilization LOL

5 countries ordered it from KMW btw.

Last one's camo is... no. Doesn't fit the T-14.

"Not a Moskowite-64"

Da, of course tovarish, they cannot use something so filthy as the T-64.

They're of course using the world's best MBT ever, which has ERA that can defeat space laser deathrays; the T-64BM2!

Seeing those Oshkosh things destroyed is a good sight.

T-64 HAPC.

I would say evolution, but then I saw the SU-100.

Well now, they claim that this IFV is the best thing ever and can survive every single ATGM in existence.

 

 

Zvarych invited us inside the workshop, where a small team of student welders, engineers, and guys who worked here back when the factory made tractors, are finishing off their latest creation, “Azovette.”

Zvarych walks us around the metal beast, pointing out the layers of armor, each 7cm thick and lined with explosives intended to disperse the impact of any strike. Most projectiles capable of penetrating the 7cm of armor will be shaped-charged missiles, consisting of a hollow cone that lays concave to the tip of the projectile and is backed by explosives.

“Usually a tank has 10 or 20cm of armor (in the front) but we put in 1.4m. This tank can take anything, even a big missile from a plane. It can take all the modern equipment of all the armies,” says Zvarych.

He says Azovette is the perfect tank and compares the 50 tonne 5-seater to Nazi Germany’s super-tank, Panzer VIII Maus, a fully enclosed, 188 tonne goliath of mythological proportions that never passed the prototype stage.

The tank will be fitted with two double barrelled 23mm caliber cannons that each fire around 3,400 round per minute plus a missile launcher with 8 missiles. Inside, the cabin has no viewing windows. Instead the crew rely on cameras on the front, back and sides of the tank and operate the turret and guns by joystick.

Looks legit. 

You are terrible person. You will break AMX-56's heart.

))))

French only tho.

This thread is just begging for this gif:

There was a video about the Leclerc which made me turn off youtube comments because of how retarded it is. I'll try to re find it.

As a T-80 fanboy, the cancellation of the Object 292 is a great disappointment. 

I wonder why they pulled it out now though... Then again, they also pulled out the MiG 1.44.

Wait.. LP-83 on T-14? 

That Oshkosh thing... Why is everything modern so ugly? F-15/F-16 > F-22/35, F-14 > F-18, etc.

Why even bother with converting rumbles to dollars, we are not buying Armata and parts from other countries.

Comparison with NATO tank pricing. 

Leopard 2A6M costs around 10 - 12 million USD.

Leopard 2A7+ costs 38 million USD. (no official number given, but I got that number from the deal with Qatar)

Oh, so NOW they come out with a number. I always laughed at WMSM for claiming Russia was going to get 2,300 Armata's by 2020...bollocks

250-300 million Rubles is very low considering how devalued it is. I expected closer to 350 million, to be honest.

3.7 Million USD.. pfft

That BMPT crew was very lucky.

Interesting.. I guess there are also other classified cases like this?

Also, a bit of a half off topic here but:
