I think that might be an MBT-80.

Game is for “simple men.”

Includes undocumented, inscrutable game mechanics you have to go out of your way to learn about.
Re: skimming the surface, 445M detection limit (in spite of higher listed view ranges), old ‘square’ limits of sight (soon to be a circle), camo values, etc. etc.

Seems legit.

Yeah I have to agree, I was wondering if it could be something from the T-80 line of tanks. But for me the side skirts still don’t look the same, and the turret dose not go as far back on the model as it does on the BM 84 :/

It dose not look anything like Chieftain prot.. the skirting is wrong, and I don’t know of any Chieftain with 7 road wheels, if there was, it would have been categorized as a modification of the Chieftain.

By the by, my KV-4 would like a word with you over this “armor is outdated” thing. Damn thing tends to bounce off *at least* its full HP’s worth of shots every game… in fact right this moment I’m looking at a battleresult which lists “Potential Damage Received” of no less than *9,510* points.

It’s either a Chieftain Prototype or a BMT-72.

Of course, knowing you, SS, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s something Czech, like a development of the TVP (the only problem being that it has seven roadwheels per side, which is a bit unusual, as most MBTs seem to have six roadwheels per side)

Actually it’s quite a bit more complicated than that. It also had to do with the new Ukrainian Gov’t being pro-western, after Russia basically bullied Ukraine’s former government (now government-in-exile) out of joining the EU.
