Well I needed something to do. We're all taking a break from the last two nights of "activity's" so...
I was going to wait on this until I got home and again had access to to my files and the game but, what the heck!?!
I think we'll just call it the
T-64BM-2017 it is an improved model over the current
T-64BM "BULAT" as currently in the game.
First what I'm comfortable at this time.
1. The
T-64BM-2017 is more advanced then the
T-64BV-1/
T-64BV1M and
T-64BM "BULAT" as listed below by "
game usage" factors.
A.
Improved FCS, it has been upgraded with a very sophisticated
3rd GEN system. What makes this system much improved primarily is the fact it's designed to be much less vulnerable to either man-made interference along the
IR Spectrum or those caused on the battlefield such as explosions, muzzle flash etc. it blocks them. We don't factor those into the game, however, this goes straight to the "
heart of the matter" to the level of again, the sophistication of this system. We have this and so do the top tanks in the world. Another "
key phrase" is it's an
all weather capable system.
B.
Improved Protection, the tanks above use (And a couple of others.} use
NOZH/NIZH armor protection system. The references are
strongly leading me to believe this is a
newer Gen version of the same. I feel
very comfortable, pending other evidence to the contrary, it wasn't fitted with the
DUPLET System which is currently carried onboard the
OPLOT-M.
C.
Communications, The radio should be on par with the
OPLOT-M. I believe you can thank us for that. It also has a very modern
NAVSAT System get allows for encrypted BSM comms.
D. Has a remote
12.7mm RWS.
Conclusions at this point...
2.
A.
Improved FCS, I see a
TI/GSR 45 for this MBT. I'm
not convinced at this point it has the same FCS as the
OPLOT-M. Again w/o the game available, I believe there is room for a minor "
bump" in both
LRF/STABILIZER numbers. A compromise between the
T-64 BULAT and
OPLOT-M.
B.
Protection, I again see a compromise between the two tanks or I believe the
T-84 OPLOT might work as it had an earlier version of
DUPLET I believe on that tank.
C.
Start Date 10/2018.
Don as you might remember we ran out of time for this MBT for the last patch mostly due to the fact I didn't have enough information at the time to my any assessments on the improvements to that MBT.
