theres a wonderful video on Autoloaders in general by the Chieftain on Youtube. Wither the Autoloader. do look it up

When it was done with the challenger ii, the inline gunner's sight was done to enhance accuracy, make it easier for the FCS to dial in corrections for windage without having to worry about parallax errors and the like. Modern day FCS have become just too damn good to care about such stuff

The Vijayanta just got added as a premium in the British tree

Coming soon to war thunder then

Our T90s came to us because it demonstrated surviving head on impacts from the best export grade Israeli KE penetrators too.

Ahh. okay

Its not the 125mm smoothbore thats important, but the ammo. What round did they use?

Even the T55M had fire on the move ability. Not as accurate as the T64 or the Centurions but it had the ability.

Only the Merkava and Abrams have hull blow out panels. And those tanks have now shot through 70+ tonnes

Yeah, i realised (belatedly)

Missing the forest for the trees mate

70 tonnes is not an issue? Kuch bhi pelte ho. SEPV3 is the STOP GAP before AbramsX arrives in its final avatar. Its barely a concept vehicle now, showing what is feasible. IA future MBT requirement will be whatever the govt rams down IA's throat - but its probably a toss up between Leclerc's...

When tanks first appeared, they were lumbering behemoths that could not go more than 2 km without breaking down. In WWII, the first tanks were small littol PzIIs with 20mm guns and MGs. Heck, the greatest tank battle of WWII, Kursk saw German Panzers go up against static soviet defenses...

Abrams SEPV3 has shot through 70 tonnes now. It is getting ridiculously heavy - thus the AbramsX is such a radically different approach to survivability

I'd add the Chally II and Merkava as most survivable tanks out there

The new ones, ARDE - old ones that were brought as SKD kits and direct imports - Ruski

After the Russkies denied TOT (again) some of the later batches of T90s have Kanchan armour, and our own smoothbore. I think any tank that goes in for repairs and overhaul is similarily upgraded. Havent had a chance to visit HVF, but will try

Sahi hai. Excellent analysis. Pray tell where did Chinese modern tanks come from? Indian ERA and armour is far more capable than Russian variants. Thats why we went through the bother of developing them. Kanchan was capable of stopping the then best Israeli APFSDS at 100m (which is point blank...

Combined arms advances, capturing lost towns and territories, several well laid ambushes by old T64BVs

No if anything, indian T90s and T72s are quite different to Russian tanks. We have our own sensors, our own ammo, our own baseline armour and ERA as well. They are very different - same as comparing the original M1 105mm tank with the M1A1HC. And dont forget, Ukraine is using the exact same...
