This was supposed to be a T-14 Armata (It has actual chobam armor)

Introducing the AR, Advanced Russian, series of tanks. The predecessor to the T-14 Armata.

Instead, it turned into a weird IFV/light tank combat vehicle. I'll make a true armata replica later, as I now have the hull and bearing.

Thanks to panzer1b's suggestion, I studied his bearing and made my own. It's much more durable than my old bearings, and the new side armor is chobam armor.

It proves effective at defeating standard tank rounds.

I'm lowering the part count for the T-14 Armata.

Here's a download to it. I'm making an improved cannon and turret for the T-14 Armata. https://www.dropbox.com/s/x4okdcvbegi5zba/AR-1_5_2.craft?dl=0

Defeats normal tanks rounds.

It's speed is over 24 m/s, making it quite a fast tank. It also has extremely good acceleration and braking characteristics.

Meanwhile, in Ural Vagonzavod.

Chobham armor on a Russian tank?! Heresy!

There's a great little test track near Chobham.

The side screens are ERA blocks, not Chobham armor.

Im glad you like my turret bearing, its not the best thing out there, but its sure one of the simplest and sturdiest, not to mention lowish part counts.

Yup as far as I know, us Brits gave Chobham to the US for their tanks and we use a secret newer version of Chobham.

Don't worry. We 'Muricans have the M1A2 SEP 2 with the TUSK II kit. You can't defeat 1500 hp of jet fuel powered democracy.

and israel barely need any armor with the new Wind coat system that dismantles threats before they hit...

And we've proud to announce that we have a heavy IFV that actually smiles at you - before it blows you to bits (or just drive over and crush you - the thing is supposed to weigh about 50 tons):

Aaaand they've unveiled it several days ago.

See these little boxes on the turret? They're smoke grenade launchers.

And they indeed can rotate.

So, Japan, we here heard that you once made a train with cat ears...
