Aeraaa,
Thank you1 I would be interested to see the results of the other two tests when you get a chance.

1) The ATGW issue follows as I've posted, I would've hoped for better results w/KOMBAT but, this is a "newer" area of weapons development for them, so I believe it's still functioning as should in the game from what I can find, bottomline, it should be more effective against slightly older tanks and APC's.

2) Still stand by recommendations concerning the OPLOT-M ERA, that being said, I believe Don has taken care of it or is at least strongly considering my recommendations as posted.

3) Took sometime this morning to compare the T90-A to the OPLOT-M in game against some further reading from other than the refs. already posted on the matter.

My recommendation as follows is based on the fact that the turret for the OPLOT-M was built for the same knowing against modern tanks and ATGW they would have to make it better than what they already have in the field.

So compared to the T-90A UNIT 051 I would request the following for consideration of the OPLOT-M UNIT 064 turret...
STEEL: TR 14/TOP 8/or 10. T-90A TR 16/TOP 8
HEAT: TR 20/TOP 12 T-90A TR 24/TOP 12


4) I'm not a "gun" guy per say as far as the mechanics in the game is concerned, however, I would request a second look at the KBA-3 main tank gun as compared to the Russian 2A46M-1 to see if there is an issue here in PEN and the other factors that might come into play. Again I realize this might be the "red herring" as I last posted but, I would be more comfortable knowing I can rule this out or not.

I would request that someone who has knowledge on the above Main Gun matter maybe could look into this for me, as I know Don is scrambling by now.


And now I have to get ready for work. Thank You all in advance.


Regards,
Pat
