Fallout Re: MBT's

I'll be quick here, found the following to be very interesting in the details it provided. We finally have an actual count of how many APS munitions at least this system holds. In this case for their tanks (T-84) 8/or 12 or if you will, 2 per launcher. They don't all launch, only if the incoming threat falls within a launchers defensive arc will it fire. But the last should be already understood, this however is the first, unless I've missed it in other systems, that actually tell you how many rounds the launcher contains that again, I'm aware of.

Also I reported on this quite some time ago, so the first ref is more of a refresher the real news is in the second ref. Also ref. 2 provides some very useful pictures clearly showing some of the upgrades being made.

Remember as I've had to clear this up in the past the T-84 is NOT the T-84 OPLOT-M/or just OPLOT-M. Don't want anyone to be confused by this as I've seen some media do this as well.

Never go to the "home" page when you're trying to hit the rack () but, this is news worthy and something to watch...

Have a great day!
