Marko Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I also read that ther t-72m1´s armor is a little thicker and the overall package is a weee bit more advanced compared to the t-72m.I was also under that opinion lavictoireestlavieAs for the BV, Are the reactive plates functional.Or are they just for aesthetic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted June 4, 2013 Members Share Posted June 4, 2013 No, they are functional. That does not necessarily mean that the will defeat all incoming RPGs. but in the scenario that I played in order to make these screenshots, a number of hits created no damage (presumably because of it). Tandem warheads will of course ignore ERA surfaces. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Volcano Posted June 4, 2013 Moderators Share Posted June 4, 2013 In a nutshell: The T-72M1 has smoke dischargers, the T-72M does not. ...and the armor is noticeably less on the T-72M's turret too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobrabase Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Is the T-72BV crewable?Know what... I don't care if it isn't... this update is enough for me to give up my quest for a meaningful relationship. THANK YOU ESIM! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F9F Panther Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Just a quick note from a very infrequent poster....I would just like to say "thanks" to the eSim team for all their time, dedication, patience, professionalism and technical accumen that has gone into preparing this build. Although I know there are many on-board who will discuss, ad infinitum, which variant / field-mod / jury-rig version of AFV will be playable vs non-playable, I am simply overwhelmed by the depth and breadth of SBProPE, and this new update looks outstanding. The fact that this game is available to joe-average consumer is a testament to the value of a dedicated developer and an equally dedicated and enthusiastic fan base.Finally, FWIW...as a sometimes PM for software dev projects, it is always interesting to see the perspective of the end-users who throw in comments like "can't you add this?" or "why doesn't it do that?" and "It will only take five minutes to develop!" Software development is a terrible beast, not a steal one.Thanks again for making this great game even better.regards,F9F Panther aka Jack Nastyface aka The Strontium Dog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Software development is a terrible beast, not a steal one. Perhaps a "steel" one? Or did you mean that it steals all your time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrapper_511 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 And they provide the immersive atmosphere of the particular mission and time period.My sentiment exactly! There could never be too much WP vehicles playable or not. And I'm glad each respective era from the seventies to the nineties are getting more comprehensive in vehicle inventory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted June 5, 2013 Members Share Posted June 5, 2013 Thank you for the compliments. If we want more players however, spread the word. We need your testimonial in places other than this forum (even social media, if you chose to partake in those). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackDeath Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 I'm not sure about T72BV so i'll not put it in the playable list... am I right? :biggrin:BTW, is this the one currently used in Syria? Looks like they have reactive armor on the different videos I saw (or is it simply brick tiles..?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jartsev Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 BTW, is this the one currently used in Syria? Looks like they have reactive armor on the different videos I saw (or is it simply brick tiles..?)Not that one. Syrians have T-72M1 series vehicles(aside of older T-72 and T-72M), some of those tanks upgraded with K-1 ERA kit and some have TURMS FCS(interesting, that tanks with italian FCS did not get ERA) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Thank you for the compliments. If we want more players however, spread the word. We need your testimonial in places other than this forum (even social media, if you chose to partake in those). Some of us are already trying to promote SB.On other forums. But its hard completing with fighter plane Sims. And supposedly free to play games. with flash Graphics but limited play ability I often look at how many visitors we get to this site. There seems to be a steady flow of traffic from visitors. One area that need emphasizing is SB is good value for money and just how much work and How long its taken To get SB where it is today. The average customer just sees the 120 Euro/Dollar price tag. With out the knowledge that there really buying a continuously developed product for over Ten years I remember buying the original Ghost recon. I then purchased all The expansion packs that came along.I think the total price was about the same as SB would be today And that was over ten years ago. hopefully the promotional videos for 3.0 will generate a lot of Interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocalypse 31 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I think a great way to promote the game would be to promote the SimHQ Military Monday games and the Friday night SB games.These events are filled with some great , welcoming community members that promote some of the best aspects of the game : planning, prep, coordination, and mission command.I know that the Mil Monday folks are a mix of active and former military folks. Always looking for more players for mostly coop games.Bottom line is that its a great community, and that might be an appeal to most, especially when you compare to other communities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RENEGADE-623 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 yeah right, it must be engine rendering shots then?I stand (or sit rather too lazy to stand) corrected. For some reason I was thinking the m113a1 was actually the a2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
