Its not as if Russian-made tanks were or are entirely toothless - but if you think a scenario favours one side by technical quality of its equipment, the other side then needs to find tactical ways to counter that. Also, during the cold war, the Sovjet doctrin expected very high own losses. The way to counter Western technological advantages was by using superior numbers. And again: its not as if those Sovjet tanks were toothless. Probably better protected than many maybe think - but you did not wish to get hit by a T-72 cannon if sitting in a Western tank of that era the T-72 was designed to defeat, namely the Leo-1. Else, as had been said before, you can edit scenarios and exchnage this for that platform, for both sides. You can even mix Russian-made and Western equipment in one team, or both teams.

IF the concern is about extra ammo with the tank being at an extra risk for cookoff after penetration then they still have a choice of simply taking out less ammo. Also I never did hear of a T72B1 model 2012 as a official designation. IS this some local in house modiifcation? only nation that i found was as ordered any meaningful #s of T72B1s from Russia in 2012, was Venezuela. the m.2012 is supposed to represent an actual field T-72, although it might have been better to call it M1996 or simply "field mod" since already back then the russian soldiers started to remove all of the ammunition not in the carousel, to reduce the risk of explosions. and if worst came to worst, the russians would probably have started doing this during WW3. fully loaded, the T-72 is extremely volatile, so the crews decided to counter this by removing all stored ammunition, fill up the sponson fuel tanks with sand, along with all storage bins on the turret with sand and stones. with this, and thanks to the lead/kevlar liners doubling as spall liners, a penetration would no longer mean the fiery death of all the crew. the other T-72B is actually a 1984-85 T-72B, and were produced in small numbers during that time period. they might've even called it a T-72A, even though it had the new turret. officially the russians don't give a shit about designations. there's 4-5 different T-72, T-72, and T-72B, with all sorts of different configurations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, this is no reason to underestimate the performance. If I want to create a scenario of cold war, I'm certainly not going to put a battalion of T-90 against the company Cheftain mk5. And so I would like to play a normal Soviet/Russian tank , protected from light RPG , and be able to choose the amount of ammunition. In addition, nowhere T- 72B / B1 without bricks active armor is almost gone , if not to take the provincial African countries .

Maj.Hans Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) Well, as for the T-72s maybe the current T72B1 M1985 should become T72B1 M1984 to be the player counterpart to the 72B M1984, and we should get one with Kontakt-5 to become the the replacement T72B1 M1985. About the 72B1 M2012, can I suggest giving that one Kontakt5 ERA? Edited August 17, 2016 by Maj.Hans I nolonger wish to see a vehicle such as this one added to Pro PE as it is not in line with the high standards for accuracy and quality set by the Russian Army. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-72B1 with fuel tanks full of sand was never produced, but it was made as a field upgrade... I suggest it because the T72B1 interior model is already made. We could have a playable Soviet tank with Kontakt 5 ERA, which gives it more resistance to Blue weapons fire. We can otherwise put in T80U or T90S to get AI controlled vehicles with Kontakt-5 ERA, but players can't play them.

Yes, Reactive armour could be a game changer for Russian armour fans I have seen how effective ERA can be against older RPG types from watching videos of Syrian t tanks in action But like most models in SB its a case on being an ongoing process developing a armour simulation as good as SB Takes time man hour and money I have learnt to accept that its a niche market. Esim just don't have the resources the big developers do. Every update SB gets that better. Although the 4.0 update may not have had as many new vehicles types as other previous updates. (I Think) Its fixed a lot and added of things like visible crew members IMO, a small but major component to the Immersion factor. just wish the snipers could take out TC's It would seriously add to the fear factor in Urban type scenarios and teach players to stay button up.

Post-1983 T-72A may have all mentioned features. Also it can be fitted with guided missile system... You can not call exact model without checking vehicle's formular.

May.... But then its no longer a T72A if it did have all of the above mentioned features. Its a T72B. Just Like a M60A1 refurbished and reffited to be up tp M60A3 standards. just because its not factory fresh production it still no longer A1 but an A3.

A production run of T72As did not have upgraded systems as on the T72B. There was a T72AV with Kontact 1, but not upgraded systems. But point being its no longer designated plainly by A.

IT didn not have upgraded systems as on the T72B. Clear set of features? Do you ever know that in very same time period 3 different turrets were used for very same "T-72A"? 2 engines? 2 stabilizers? Which year 1A40 was introduced to series production T-72s? BTW, what is the difference between 1A40 and 1A40-1? When 1K120 guided weapon system was introduced? And most important but funny question- what is the value of all said changes from end-user point of view? Its a very moot dispute.

You yourself said "may", which means self doubt which means you cannot definitively prove it was a standard modification or how many of them to be exact . and why are you asking me that? you are hiring researchers then? ) 1A40 was introduced first the T72 Ural 1 in 76, before the T72A. 1A40-1 is the upgraded system introduced in the T72B. series in 1984 early production before the 85 mainline production with kontact. while there are many similarities there are still features differentiating the A from the B. Primarily such as the thicker turret, and the extra hull armor, plus earlier as listed . US forces could differentiate it hence the new nickname "Super dolly Parton", guess they had enough to go on not to be confused with just another T72A. But you know thier all the same, for simplicities sake all T72 all should have the same designation , just because of some shared or different incremental features . But yeah i suppose if your point is the Russians were loose with features and not as strict with designations as western designers, then yes I guess T72B is just a T72A plus, but that too could be argued for just about any upgraded vehicle. # splitting hairs.
