Aeraaa,
If I'm reading your last post correctly, those numbers are indicating a greater than 4:1 Kill Ratio in favor of the Russians. Do you remember or keep track of the ATGW's used by each side and result, i.e. kill or other? I'm looking at the results as the Russians being the "former" and the Ukrainians being the "latter" on your "chart".

This result to some degree almost puts me back to square one, in regards to conventional ammo issue or now maybe even steel armor.

We already know the ERA is lower then it should be for the OPLOT-M which should at a minimum be as good as the T-90A if not slightly better. I did not however, compare the steel armor between the two tanks.

I did however indicate I was seeing loses at 3:1 or higher in my first post leading to these tests.


Don't get me wrong, the T-72B3/B4 is a darn good tank and plays as expected, however, at least on paper, it's specs are not as good as the T-90A in the game or "RW". And this is the tank most refs compare the OPLOT-M to on a regular basis in it's at parody or "slightly" better than the T-90A.

It has to be one of the two above as mentioned or I'm missing something else. I don't know it this point.

I'm open to anyone else's thoughts after this test, even if it looks like I'm chasing a "red herring" in a manner of speaking.

Otherwise, I'm sticking with my original evaluations as posted. I'll have to look into this closer when I can - as I need to be in the shower now.

Thank You for your time in running the test and again the same to everyone else that ran one.


Regards,
Pat
