Family update ?

Recommended Posts

Steve once said they would also make family upgrades, meaning new equipement but without a new module coming out. Any news  on this ?

WHat I would like to see;

 

RUssia:

T72B3M with commander`s panoramic sight. 32 (probably more) were delivered to the Russian armed forces in 2016

T-90M (domestic version of T-90MS , close to T-90AM but with better fire control and additional armor)

Tigr with Kornet-EM 

More scope equipped russian troops per squad.

Glonass (GPS) rounds for Russian Arty 

http://www.defense-aerospace.com/articles-view/release/3/173267/russia-claims-its-gps_guided-artillery-rounds-cost-$1,000.html

Koalitsiya-SV

 

USA:

M1A2 abrams without ERA and LWR

M1A1SA (national guard)

Bradley without LWR

 

there is more to upgrade on the Russian side since the US already has all the future cool toys (including the cancelled one like the XM-25)

How about DPICM and FASCAM shells? Are there any particular reason why those shells are not appearing? 

155mm / 152mm IR-blocking smoke also? (But I remember that devs refused to introduce thermal blocking smoke artillery since in was never officially issued)

RUS. Returning to the operation of T-80 tanks, will be similar to the modernization of the T-72B3. But only a little better.

Возвращение в строй танков Т-80 , модернизация будет схожа с танком Т-72Б3 . Но только немного лучше .

Last I heard the XM-25 wasn't cancelled, it was going back to receive tweaks and such based on combat experience after extensive field testing in Afghanistan.

That would be very cool to have added in CMBS, if nothing more than to increase the variety of tanks the Russians get. The Soviets fielded a ton of tank variants, but in CMBS we only have two variants. Not doubting that this is accurate to current Russian TO&E, it just feels weird to me.

Okay so XM-25 not cancelled

SEPv2 in game is really a hybrid SEPv2 and SEPv3, so it wouldn't really add anything new.  I would rather see what we have as the v2 relabeled as the v3, and instead add an "as of today" v2.  Possibly the v3 could be updated with the low-profile crows, although we are yet to actually see it installed on a tank.

if we could see the SEPv3 than it would be great. 

As pointed out, the Abrams in the game is pretty much a SEPv3. The only functionality a true SEPv3 would add is better spotting (!) and better mine protection.

IIRC The SEPv2 has no LWR irl

Welp, what a bummer, my mistake, I forget about this point. I read about this back in early 2016 but forget about this. Thanks to remind me. So are the Trophy, LWR, and m829e4 are the difference?

I'm not sure how they plan to achieve the IED protection. Well, it would be good if the battlefront models the more realistic v2 and v3 version.

I think the v2 can fire M829A4. What it can't do is utilize the AMP round because it lacks the ammunition data link and updated fire control system.

But a4 is not issued yet, (but it will be soon) so I was thinking that if the CMBS Abrams is equipped with m829a4 this would be OOTF.

Orders for large caliber ammunition include a contract for the full-rate production of its next generation 120mm Kinetic Energy anti-tank cartridge, M829A4 which recently received type classification and has passed its initial lot acceptance testing. Full rate production is expected to begin in early 2016.

Ok it seems A4 is on the field. I read something different from other source, that A4 will be equipped and fielded from M1A2 SEP v3, but it seems that is wrong info.

I was saying a couple of days ago that the T-90M selected by the Russian army to replace the T-90A (all 400 of them will be upgraded)  will use the new 125mm A82 gun from the armata and Malackit ERA (more effective than Relikt against APFDS, Will probably defeat more often the M829A4). It is way superior to the T-90AM in the game. With Vacuum-1 rounds It will punch through 950mm-1000mm or armor at 2000 meters. It will also have the afghanit APS as standard equipment. Afghanit has sucessfully intercepted sabot rounds on tests. Here's the confirmation .

https://sputniknews.com/military/201701211049856690-t-90m-armata-cannon-russia/

Here's the article about afghanit APS:

http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/the-game-changing-feature-russias-t-14-armata-might-make-17859

That tank needs to be in the game. Between afghanit, Malackit ERA and the new gun and ammo, It will give the Russians in the game a near peer to the Abrams .
