i dont follow, im very slow :crazyeye:

I think the T72 along with T80 had additional armor plating, called Reactive Armor....
... you get what I mean?

Reactive armor are two plates with explosive in the middle, to provide better protection against shaped-charge explosives. They appear as little boxes on the vital surface areas of a tank, such as the turret.

Very right Moo! :D If you look at my M60 thread you see those plates.... I think they look awesome.... :D

But your tank look like it has Reactive Plates on the turret.....:hmm:

o hahaha ya i must have left those out on the body i thought it looked kinda clutered so i didnt ad them, now that i know what they are I will be sure to add them :crazyeye:

Vdog,

So far so good. I've been waiting for a T-72. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Smoking Mirror had one of these planned but it looks like you might complete it first.

How is smoking doing anyway? And by the way....how does a T80 look like?

Cool! Now I can play the Russian's without feeling strange about having my main battletank an M1 Abrams. :D Most excellent.

i was going to ask should this unit replace the modern armor or should it be more of a intermidiate tank? i know theres a T-90 now so i was wondering.

Good shot with Rhino !

I see you finally used it. Good choice !

Yes I did, i cant seem to render things though, it just goes fuzy and stuff but i am trying to fix that or get a different renderer.

Someone did a T-90? Where can it be found?

For those who care here is an update of the T72! I added the wheel things and some shadows and now will ade textures. :D


PS: Dont mind the lines they wont be in the finished product.

Do you think this looks more like a T90 than a T72 cause i do/

Your tank looks more of a T-90 than a T-72 (not that I'm complaining).the 90 has more sharp angles as do your tank.

Hopefully you will get this tank done,it will be a very nice addition to the original Civ-Armour and the Leopard and the Merkava.This way I get an americantank a europeantank and a asiantank and one for africa (OK everyone in asia don't use russian tanks or everyone in america don't use US tanks but I get a differens in the game so that you'll see from were they are coming from.It's just cosmetics :D )

Your tank does look more to the t-90 side because of the turret. call this one the t-90. then redo the turret with rounder sides and remane it t-72 and we'll have two great tanks for russia.

Correction: The T-90 and T-72 are deadly MBTs.

If you think you could take one on...go get a bazooka and find out.

:D

Hey now, I'm going to be in a US Armored Division, no bazookas for me. ;)

Looks like if you killed the ablative armor on the turret and reposition the smoke launchers your model would be an excellent T-72. As is it looks more like a T-90. Given the similarities between them, why not make a version for both?

ACK! Did I say ablative, meant reactive armor. Now I must do penance to the War Gods.
