The news was that the T-64 has seen some upgrades. Currently being the following tanks:
T-64BM Bulat, T-64BW 2017, T-64BM2 Bulat, and the
T-64BW 2022 version, made possible through collaborations with Poland and the Czech Republic.
What I've gotten from the four refs I have is the above
now have the
KNIFE ERA which is used on the
T-84BM OPLOT, the
FCS from the
T-84 OPLOT
"Furthermore,
since 2017, the tanks have been fitted with an
upgraded fire control system complete with a thermal imaging camera. This addition provides them an edge in identifying and eliminating targets
over all T-72 tank models below the B3 version. These models have
lost duels against the T-64BWs. It's also important to note that the T-64 tanks have the
most experienced crews, a factor that often results in more victories
compared to the newly conscripted Russians operating the
T-90M tanks."
Another source:
"The rebuilt
T-64BM Bulat introduced
new armor and a so-called “
active defense” system than
shoots projectiles in order to intercept incoming rockets. The current
T-64 2017 adds modern thermal imagers, secure digital communications and satellite navigation." (Supposedly all back fitted to the above models from the
T-64BM BULAT on.)
USAGE: This dealing more with both
older and newer versions as noted above. From a different ref.
"These tanks are
employed to neutralize Russian infantry assaults and
finish off vehicles damaged by, for example, artillery. In the following video, you can witness a T-64 tank destroying a Russian IFV from the BMP family using a HEAT missile."
UNITS AFFECTED: The following is what I see and with my first impressions for
UNITS 30-32.
First: "flip"
FC for
UNITS 30 & 32.
Second: Update
ERA on
UNIT 032 as shown for
UNIT 030. See more on
UNIT 030 below.
Third: Update
ERA on
UNIT 30 to reflect the
KNIFE ERA from
UNIT 064 T-84 OPLOT-M.
Fourth: Update
RADIO on
UNIT 032 to 85 or
90.
ALL listed above (T-64) got
new engines (+200hp I believe.) to support Power usage for the
newer systems and increased
SPEED for the battlefield.
Crew 3 was what the refs. showed for the tanks having auto loaders so this should already be "built in".
So it would appear SRAPNEL's System detected something from one of the refs and or videos.
I will attempt to upload the videos in the next couple of days, I guess we'll find out which is which then.
