Flanker15 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I am very interested in this addition, can you tell us about what things the T-90 export model in Marines has? TIS? Arena? Shtora? Better ballistic computer and stabilisation? Better ERA? Better APFSDS? Any info would be lovely! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtMuhammed Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I can tell you that they are an absolute bear to handle. You will not have to stack 3 or 4 to 1 odds to hang with the M1 anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I am preparing some screens right now and a little more info on them. Beware of the laser warning system! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 T90 wouldn't really be worth the considerable effort to include it if it was just one of those upgraded T72s all over again. Expect a tough competitor. Actually that's an idea. Doing a Redo-on-Red T90s vs upgraded T72s! That would be a good way to discern the differences. I don't think anyone's tried that yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lampshade111 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 To my knowledge none of the countries using the T-90/A/S currently use Arena on the tank. I am not even certain if it has been demonstrated on the T-90. I am guessing they will probably have the Shorta system, although it is not very effective against newer anti-tank missiles. Looking for a few good fights between them and my M1A2 SEPs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannibal Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 MikeyD Why do you say it took consideral effort to but in the T-90 .Did it that more effort that anyof the other tanks if so why? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lampshade111 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Probably was a pain to find somewhat accurate information about the armor levels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Flanker15, There's some great tech info on the T-90S in the Monkey Model Thread, specifically in the Pakistani T-90S deal and Arjun vs. T-90S portions. Regret to inform you, though, that a T-90S IS a T-72 derivative. After the disastrous showing in OIF, though, of the T-72 and Lion of Babylon, the Russians decided, for PR reasons (wanted to still be able to export tanks) to rename the radically upgraded beast. http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=83195 Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 If you haven't noticed the sticky thread up top, they've finally posted T90 screenshots. Wow, someone with the initials MB should be congratulated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanker15 Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 Very nice work there, can't wait to put it to good use. Looking at the model I'm guessing no Shtora IR jammers but it does appear to have TIS due to the lack of an IR light. How's its APFSDS penetration performance? Better than the current T-72s? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
