Ukraine doesnt field T 72s?

 

No.

 

They do have some tank manufacturing plants from when it was part of the USSR but they didn't make T-72s, only the T-64 and later T-80 mentioned above.

 

From memory way back the T-34 was designed there (in the Ukraine) at the Kharkiv Morozov Machine Building Design Bureau. I'm pretty sure the same place designed the T-64.

The reason I'm using this is because we dont have playable T64 or T80 variants in SB. So call it a proxy.

 

And eventually Ukraine might get their hands on a few abandonded T72Bs....

I love internet arguments without references or data.

 

100 T-72A/B, 33 (now 50) T-72AMTs, plus almost 1000 in long-term storage (probably useless).  Only a few captured, most left from Soviet stocks.

...that the Ukrainians don't actually have T-72s in their inventory (except the ones captured over the course of the last week), so it's a substitute for a playable T-80 or T-64.

Right but we have textures for Ukrainian T-72s in the installer. ¬¬

I think I get your point - sort of.

 

Well I'm still stuck with the basic version on 4.X because I have an older computer & you don't have UA folder/specific skins in that version. I have noticed that in the latest version you do have ukranian folders etc. probably skins as well. But since I'm with basic v4 I dont.. so I made a mod.

 

And this is a mod btw... I dont get your point of why its an issue of having a skin mod? This is what the mod folder is there for, its completely optional based on users taste.

I didn't say or mean to imply there was an issue with a mod. I just wondered what the issue was with the ones we included. If you aren't running the version with them in then it makes sense.
