I don't know, honestly. In fact, none us gets to read the recommendations of such a trial for any new equipment. They are not published for the army to read.
Really? Doesn't sound a good way of building up support by the users. Was that done intentionally by the IA brass or by the DRDO?

Apologies for derailing the talk of Mango penetration, but I'm curious to what RWS is used in the Arjun. Indigenous or made by Thales?

No sane person publishes all the trial details that list out the capabilities or shortcomings.

This was our initial prototype of Arjun...

Now try to find weak spots in the turret
Original post that gave me the idea to use the non-shitty Arjun turret for a "Tank Ex Mark 2", let's say.

So I found a suitably angled Rajpath T-90 pic (lighting didn't match unfortunately)... This however is a 3-man turret that sports a bustle-mounted autoloader & 125mm gun, as that's what FMBT is going with.

According to Brown Sipoys and fake experts, this part of Arjun was weakest point and reason for rejection by UN Generals.
What are you taking about? it's roof had been blasted by arty.... But the bold part is downright falsehood, IA was never bothered about that. The hidden gunner's sight protects it from bladt damage to a greater degree than roof mounted ones.

It's a trade off. Thinking only tank-on-tank is immature.

Seriously Bhai?. Does it look like artillery strike to you?? Damage more like from Lancet.

Another thing, I said According to Brown Sipoy, not according to me. There was video on YouTube perhaps a year ago where a guy pointed out poor armour protection of Arjun MBT which Brown Sipoys also supported with tooth and nail and claimed Arjun rejected for one of these reasons.

They way the roof sheet has shared off, I didn't think anything other than Arty shell have that much power. We also saw arty hit videos & i did a 2+2=4... I could be wrong ofcourse.

About time.

I don't get why they don't have an Indian tech tree. Vijayantha, Tank Ex, Arjun Mark1 & Mark 1A, Bhim & Catapult... Similar modelling & low effort would bring them thousands Indian players!

they can genuinely add the arjun k1a and mk1 as high-tier premiums but I don't know about an indian tech tree as there will be too many gaps to fill.

Vijayantha
Vijayantha Mark 2 + Catapult SPH
Arjun
Tank Ex
Arjun Mark 1A + Bhim SPH
Modify a little to get T-72 Ajeya, Ajeya Mark 2 & T-90S Bhishma & T-72/90 hybrid variants, maybe BMP-2 based light-tank & SPH... Boom, Gaijin got few tens of thousands new Indian players ready to give them their money 💰🤑

Actually even better. They should do a South Asia tech tree & add the Al Zarar, Type 59 Durjoy(Bangladeshi), Type-692, Al Khalid, Al Khalid-1 & VT-4.
