Default Re: major mistake in Romanian OOB

I don't need an any more credible source... it's obvious using logic that the numbers in SPMBT are not correct

The TR-85 M1 followed this lineage T-55 - TR-580 - TR-85 and finally TR-85 M1

In SPMBT, TR-85 M1 has roughly the same specs as a generic T-55 which shouldn't be the case after all these upgrades

A T-55 weighs 36 tons... while a TR-85 M1 weighs 54 tons!

actually TR-85 M1 weighs more than T-55, T-62, T-72, T-80, T-90..... but it'S given the same piss poor armour protection of the first T-55 in SPMBT....

580mm against SABOT at front turret is the ONLY number I've seen so far... so how the 270mm (in SPMBT) came to be is still a mystery to me

but you can simply tell from the pictures that TR-85 M1 has far more armour protection than the general T-55.....



and the vision and FC is not correct also imo

the T-55 has 20 vision, same as TR-85 M1 in SPMBT

but M1 has modern CICLOP FCS with laser ranger finder (T-55 did not), day and night image intensification (T-55 did not) and a computer.. as far as I know T-55's FCS was mechanical, different gun mount for better accuracy.. and other improvements.

30 vision and 30 FC is what it should be

anyway, I am just trying to raise the attention to this unit

btw, MLI 84 vision is correct at 30..I checked Puma and Achzarit stats in SPMBT (all 3 units have the same kind of turret) and they're at 30 too, but why is the MLI 84 fire control 5 only?
