    Yeah, Battlefield game tactics is, you see someone hiding in a building? Run your tank right through it to demolish the building around you to kill him. I can't believe this doesn't work in real life, it's flawless though!

    Just some facts because I'm bored: With the entire thing of crystal clear thermal sights, they do exist but to a certain point. If you trained on something like the Leopard 2, the thermal sights for the gunner most likely haven't been changed at all and are still bad (maybe in recent variants they have changed) but you have a good fire control system to make up for it. With the commander I'm pretty sure they have a higher quality thermal optic which makes sense because he/she is one the looking around, finding targets, and overall telling the crew what to do. A good example of a vehicle that has great thermal sights would be the CV90 IFV if I remember correctly

    New to your content so I don't really know what tank you used to crew, but in the one I did, we would definitely get warnings on our screens (not on the sight opticts though) if something broke from taking a hit or just on its own. It was called a VIS (Vehicle information system) and it was pretty neat. Made maintenance and fixing borken parts that much easier when the vehicle would tell you what was broken. To a point of course, it couldn't tell you if a trackbolt was loose or whatever.

Beep beep beep. You forgot to hook up your battle management system? Beeep beep beep. Automatic Fire suppression system engaged? Beep beep beep. At least in all the current vehicles and shit does it. Idk about in 2011 tho. But this game is supposed to be set in the 2020’s.

    ERA however is not a thing on these T-72s, seeing as they are depicted as being T-72M1s, those being ever so slightly "improved" versions of the base T-72A model meant for export. I believe the M830A1 HEAT MP-T of the Abrams would have no real issue penetrating the armour of a T-72M1, and if not the UFP or turret, at least the sides and Lower Glacis. Could be wrong, who knows. 73 Easting was mainly a dart slinging fest so we can't use much reference from there.
