Caught me as I was getting ready to call it a night. But yes, that is a newer
Gen ERA on that MBT. I feel your pictures shows that more clearly as
compared to the
current T-72 used by Iran. They still look a little longer top to bottom, or as I described them, more "
rectangular" versus "
square" which is better than "
boxy".
With that being said, I'm not sure if it's the same as being used on the
KARRIN (And please relying on memory for the name.) currently which was to have had a newer
ERA Pkg. as well. It might be the same, just haven't had the chance to compare the
T-72S pictures against it yet, which was one of those issues I eluded to in my last Post.
So again a less then handful of items to check, however, it's a tank I know I can submit for the next Patch as I noted as well. That's the "
big deal" for me.
I'm doing the best I can, but, I'm getting tired of chasing dates for tanks in my mind won't see the "
light of day" in our game such as the
ALTAY (Which the "
clock" is still on
0 month of the
18, Turkey expects it'll take to get it fielded once they figure out the engine issues. I've posted on this already.) and
ARMATA which the
T-90M has possibly killed
COVID-19 not withstanding for that or any other outstanding programs we're tracking at the moment.
The
F-35 and other Programs are barely managing to stay on track or possibly be canceled (
AJAX.). The new
WARRIOR upgrade might be another "
nail in the AJAX coffin" but we might get resolution on
AJAX by
Mid/Late Fall of his year.
I don't think for
F-35 concerning
FOC we're going to get beyond the
USMC and
Israel having them before
2025. And if
we do it's going to very late game wise in
2024/2025 and to me that's a lot of slots for something we're going to get maybe for only a short period of time.
And
FOC/Fielding/Fully Operational etc. has always been the "
Gold Standard" for the game since I've been involved with it concerning equipment.
I gotta go!

Pat
ALSO: Note the spacing between the blocks, the gap is much tighter on the
T-72S as compared to the below tank on my last. That greatly increases the efficiency of the ERA blocks which again suggests next GEN. I just had to check that last Post again!?!
