L0ckAndL0ad Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I guess they've undressed the actual vehicles on the ground in Moscow too. Expect many photos soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Also, there is something on T-14 and T-15 I can't figure. There are the big horizontal tubes and radar modules common to T-14, T-15 and Kurganets IFV which are presumably a shared APS system, but on T-15 there is also a box with a black plate on it angled upward between the two front hatches. This same box is present in four locations on the upper edge of the T-14 turret facing each quarter. All are inclined upward a bit.

Kieme(ITA) Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) I miss the tarps. -1 No really, thanks for sharing the new pictures! Armata tank: Maybe I am old fashioned, or my mind is already pointing to the "old man" attitude, but really I can't process that turret shape. Armata heavy IFV: I keep saying that the front part of the vehicle stresses a lot the few front shock absorbers.

exsonic01 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Am I only one the concept 3D arts with autocannon + circular turret far looks cooler than exposed turret? Dissapointed:/ Of course design does not give any good, but I wished 'cool' design. Oh anyway, let's see in the parade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L0ckAndL0ad Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 LOL What "armored turret"? Looks more like a tank destroyer to me. An offspring of F-117. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akd Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Another possibility is that this shell is meant to reduce RCS. Front cut-out is for gunner's sight, but side cutout is a mystery. Edited May 4, 2015 by akd 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L0ckAndL0ad Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 APS rounds might actually be steerable and self-propelled. After seeing a schematic of Quick Kill APS rounds, I wanted to see how it actually works. And I found this video: This way, you can defend against top attacks too. So I guess they work similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL that is awesome. Everything you see in that video probably happens in less than maybe a tenth of a second. One thing puzzles me: why T-14 is called a "medium tank" on that picture? a- The author of the text was not aware of "medium tank" beeing an onsolote classification. b- They (the Russians) are planning for a heavier model of a tank that is still a secret. c- The T-14 is classified as "medium tank" because it is signficantly lighter than its western counterparts. Needless to say all of the above is pure speculation. Edited May 4, 2015 by agusto 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTR Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Looks like 7.62 has made it's way to commander's MG. I'm still willing to bet it will change to 12.7 during army trials. Edited May 4, 2015 by BTR 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c3k Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Totally love the triple-gunned tank! Nice. Side cutout on the Armata turret left side: a trunnion mount for another weapon? Perhaps some ATGM's? Great pix. Thanks, and keep 'em coming! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battlefront.com Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Don't debates have to have a point though?aNot always, but generally yes. I suppose you could say that the debates/discussions we had, internally, about the shape of the Black Sea backstory was "pointless". Since there's no way we would have come so close to predicting what happened without it, I for one don't think it was.And yeah, I know there's more than me involved in this debate. Very difficult to have a debate without at least one other person.Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
