The CORPS can only hope. TROPHY will be a big help. Also there is the real chance they could bring them up to the SEP V1 or SEP V2 versions just to get them modernized and more combat capable. SEP V2 was a major step forward, I saw enough from that tank to approach Don about the
TI/GSR issue SEP 2 can do better than 50 but I knew SEP V3 was being developed and TI/GSR 60 I felt would come with that tank.
The good thing is SEP V2 allowed us to revaluate some of the tanks in the game to get them TI/GSR 50 w/FCS not long after SEP V2 was submitted. It's good we can follow RL to and get into GL considering game limitations due to map size etc. but that's why we have terrain features even in the dessert.
It's scary to think that with the SEP V3 being able to
identify vice recognize a target to +5000 yds./
accordantly target the same/then
shoot and kill it at that distance is just amazing to me.
I'll be the optimist and say we'll see the SEP V3/
M1A2C by the date I submitted (4yr point in Testing/Opeval) based on current data that means we won't see the
SEP V4/
M1A2D until
late 2025.
Oh don't you
ARMATA, ALTAY and
ARJUN Mk-2 get your hopes up to high either if any of those tanks get to
FOC by 2023 you'll be doing real good.
ARMATA isn't set to start THE OPEVAL process
until 2021. If they are as diligent as the USA has been with the
M1A2C to this point, then
ARMATA won't be operational until
late 2024. I honestly feel the
ALTAY since they're sort of "
back to the drawing board" as I posted are looking at late
2024/early 2025 themselves. As for India and the
ARJUN Mk-2 I've spent a "
career" trying to figure out what they're trying to do with their tanks. I will say this, if they ever field that tank
before 2026, to be
added in the game for 2025, well I just might retire than. Well actually kind of our plan for me anyway!?! But seriously India will you do something please!?!
But I can say this w/o a doubt, the CORPS will get an improved tank. And for
2019 there will be
NO NEW ARMATA/ALTAY/ARJUN Mk2/M1A2D/OPLOT-P/T-REX/AND OTHERS,but, Russia will get the following instead...

The T-72 mods we've already accounted for with our "
hybrid" if you will
T-72B3M/B4 and if you haven't followed along lately, it's a "
kick ***" tank. The
T-90M and
T-90MS I covered this past year and longer on the
MS which for the Russians will better then the one's exported to
KAZITSTAN.
Well off to bed-Good Night!
