MBT-70: Tank from the Future

By the mid 1950s, the USSR became a behemoth of tank construction. Countries of the socialist bloc operated tens of thousands of cheap and effective T-34s, T-54s and T-55s. At the same time, NATO member states were more about quality over quantity, relying on expensive vehicles produced in fewer numbers, like M60 tanks.

Sad the apfsds got nerfed and it already has bad bullet deviation due to it being 152mm with a short barrel. The american version also has a worse reload speed. It couldve atleast kept its penetration values before

A slight correction. Only the driver had motion sickness because the movement from the hull into the turret. The driver had an automatic rotating cupola that always faced the front of the vehicle. Due to the constant turning of the driver's station. The complaints of motion sickness arose.

What a nightmare for the driver lol. I would get sick after 2 minutes of that. I don't really understand the practicality of having the driver in the turret, either. Isn't it more sensible to have more seperation for different sections of the tank?

[@DARKMaster-nu2pe]

On the WT wiki website, there is a list on which equipment there is a hydropneumatic suspension.

The ones i know besides kpz-70 are the xm-8 (the premium one), the 2S6 Tunguska, the second 40mm AA in sweden, and the rocket truck in ussr tree.

[@cherrymolotov]

the Japanese Type 74 as well as the TKX and Type 10 have hydropneumatic suspension. the German VT1-2 prototype also has it

[@asesino22full]

So basically Gaijin confirmed that the german Kpz is incorrect as it is in WT now, as it has the 152mm instead of the 120mm...

[@carkawalakhatulistiwa]

Yes

[@gavinlightfoot5521]

As far as I know, the 120mm version was never made and was just what the Germans wanted to use. The US was insistent that they use the gun launcher so they could use the massive stockpile of missiles they had so eventually the Germans and Americans came to an agreement on the 152.

What are the chances of getting a German VTOL plane such as the VJ 101 or the VAK 191B?

I know the war thunder team is never going to see this but I was wondering if you could add in the more modern blocks of the f14/f16 because the mig29 is still a late 80’s aircraft while the f16s are early 80s except for the one in the Japanese tech tree I believe. Another thing is if you see this is to respond and tell me if there are reasons for other tech trees getting better f16s (is it for balancing or something else). Finally I was wondering why you can’t add in the the early no flare/chaff version of the f15 at lower BR or the one with flares/chaff at a higher BR is it because how much munitions It could carry while keeping its speed because it is still a 1976 aircraft that has not been added while 1986 aircraft have. Thank you for listening to my rant and these are general questions not me trying to attack the team marking this wonderful game.

[@theguy1506]

the thing is the Mig-29 is electronically most comparable to late 70s due to the soviets being behind in the electronics department so they are still about equal

Those are two completeley seperate words I do not think that Tanks have beer barrels attached to them :) Some of the sentences also make no sence. Instead of a downtier, the german voice says something around the lines of "when you have a lower tier" instead of "when you have a downtier" I will just stick with the english voice tbh.
