instagoat 133 Posted May 5, 2015 These things look pretty damn well protected. And they truly are using an unmanned turret. That's pretty neat, actually. I wonder how many people the BMP variant can carry now. Overall, the turret on the MBT looks a lot boxier now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vmf 10 Posted May 5, 2015 Armata - a universal platform, you can change the upper part (turret) and set any other (flamethrower, air defense system and much more) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Kozak 14 Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Found those two on a WoT blog, the naming is impeccable :phttp://4.bp.blogspot.com/-z6h9TcZfkCU/VUiSQcePIgI/AAAAAAAAAjE/cJdR1VstRcQ/s1600/arma1.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T1sPAXiOhQQ/VUiSQaQvjgI/AAAAAAAAAjA/yZdFvZsb2kI/s1600/arma2.jpg If you look at the front of the turret, it feels like that "boxy" part is foreign. Also, there are no sensors or viewports visible - I doubt all sensors are in that cylinder on top. It seems that the "welded dome metal for secrecy" version might actually be true. Not saying it definitely is, but... Edited May 5, 2015 by DarkWanderer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
negah 26 Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Yeah there are theories on themess.net that those are either huge ERA blocks or plastic/thin metal mockups to create a classic "turret-look" for whatever secrecy or aesthetic reasons. The vertical tubes near the RCWS are pretty interesting, some sort of protection system against top down attack systems or smoke dispensers? The modern stuff next to WW2 tank destroyer in the second photo is a very interesting sight as well. Edited May 5, 2015 by negah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beastcat 14 Posted May 5, 2015 Well, so far it kinda looks like the result of someone who has just discovered 3d modelling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
da12thMonkey 1943 Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Also, there are no sensors or viewports visible - I doubt all sensors are in that cylinder on top. They aren't. The gunner's primary sights are on the left side of the turret behind a closed blast door: The cylinder on top is the commander's pan-sight and Remote Weapon Station. The rest of the bits on the turret appear to be for the Active Protection Systems. Remember it's an unmanned turret so vision blocks etc. on the turret are redundant.

slatts 1978 Posted May 5, 2015 Well, so far it kinda looks like the result of someone who has just discovered 3d modelling. Great, we'll see it shortly in Arma so ;) Also. I still call their bluff. I don't see two fuel drums on the back so I say this is all a deceptive plan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonci87 163 Posted May 5, 2015 Great, we'll see it shortly in Arma so ;)Also. I still call their bluff. I don't see two fuel drums on the back so I say this is all a deceptive plan. And no wooden logs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slatts 1978 Posted May 5, 2015 And no wooden logs! Exactly! It ain't Russian unless it has a specimen of superior Siberian wood hanging of the back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vilas 473 Posted May 5, 2015 Great, we'll see it shortly in Arma so ;). yes ;) just need more photos after 9th , more angles, more details like dimensions, i will do it for Arma2 , the more cubic - the faster , cubic vehicles are easy job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
negah 26 Posted May 6, 2015 yes ;) just need more photos after 9th , more angles, more details like dimensions, i will do it for Arma2 , the more cubic - the faster , cubic vehicles are easy job Now thats good to hear. What kind of munition and performance do you plan for the vehicles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, that left side block was the missing piece - as I said, no way only commander optics would be available. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vilas 473 Posted May 7, 2015 so i hope in 2 days there will be lots of photos, and i hope photo from direct 90 degree angles so it can be used as blueprint, because it is hard to judge exact shape from perspective photos, also photos from above would be welcome to paint texture, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
da12thMonkey 1943 Posted May 7, 2015 also photos from above would be welcome to paint texture, T-14: https://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/16193/8955119.9/0_9c46f_b6341496_X5L.jpg T-15: https://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/6747/8955119.9/0_9c46e_17221083_X5L.jpg 2S35: http://i.imgur.com/lI6uE2B.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

astral4eg 10 Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) Possibly crew did not know how to use an automatic transmission? :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeJzuo2TsfM Platform still crude.

x3kj 1247 Posted May 7, 2015 haha the breakdowns on parade are cute To me the APC variant looks as if it would have difficulties in snow... The overhang on the front is gigantic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

da12thMonkey 1943 Posted May 7, 2015 Oh those things now have an automatic transmission? That´s kind of cool, but I guess it makes the tank harder to maintain? Pretty much every modern AFV has a semi-automatic or automatic transmission. Automatic is probably more common since the 80s Modern vehicles are designed so that if there's a major problem with the gearbox or engine while the vehicle needs to remain in the field, you just lift out the entire power pack (engine and gearbox coupled together) and replace the whole thing in the field in a relatively short time while the broken-down pack is sent for local repair.

astral4eg 10 Posted May 7, 2015 omg Tank "Armata" has decayed at a rehearsal of the parade because of the excitement of the driver.
