The Moderna Experience

Yet another one of Gaijin's infamous crafting events is ongoing, and that means there's probably a gimmicky top tier tank that's going to be ruining the matchmaker for a while. The top reward for the Battle for Arachis event is the T-72M2 Moderna, a Slovakian retrofit of the ubiquitous Soviet T-72 main battle tank. I think another top tier MBT is the last thing the Russian tech tree needed, but Gaijin will be Gaijin. The Moderna sports a fair number of new bells and whistles, but how does it actually play?

Fun fact: it should have a also different gunner optics. It should have a same optics as a Leceerch (4x-12x or 14x) but Gaijin for some reason decided to give it the Russian standard T-72 optics (8x)

@@profpanky5664 I don't think it's exactly the same one as the Leclerc, but similar. Everything I can find seems to point to it being a SFIM MVS 580 (which I believe is French and can also be found on the Challenger 2E). From everything that I could dig up, it seems the TPD-K1 sight (8x zoom with 9 degrees FOV) was kept and updated while the secondary night sight (the TPN-1 which sits to the rear left of the TPD-K1) was replaced with a thermal imaging sight, though I can find very little about the specifics of said thermal imager itself. I did find a few that mentioned there were plans to use the Sagem SAVAN 15T gunners sight which is a variant of the Leclercs gunners sight, but it seems that it was never adopted for the M2 Moderna.

You sound more relaxed and casual in this video, good to listen to.
From what I understand the TAPNA is a really light round for 120/125mm (3.4kg compared to DM53 5kg, while 105mm M900 is 3.7kg) and War Thunder models a lot of post-pen damage on shell weight, so with it being so light it has good penetration but the spalling similar to that of a 105mm round.

Pretty much all War Thunder maps are bad. The game has some of the most consistently bad maps of any multiplayer game I've ever played, the team involved should be ashamed and or fired. The spawn camping could easily be fixed by adding a no fire protection zone, but as long as people keep buying over priced vehicles and premiums then Gaijin has no reason to actually fix anything.

"If only i could tell my teams to get over here kill this guy" My thoughts exactly for a while now.
1. Tapna is light, 3.4kg from 125mm cannon is some 105 performance. It helps that its fast. 2. NVD is just night in green. It improves if you play ULQ, and I think it has not been changed since old, old, old renderer.

In this video he sounds like he's about to fall over from either exhaustion or a heartattack
I like that you don't even suggest grinding the event loo
2:20 that's why I like the "tank commander sights" on some tanks such as the m60. If I'm not mistaken they have more zoom then the regular gun sight and it can go into an extremely wide fov 1 times mode and sometimes they're on their own little mount so u can shoot the machine gun from them witch is really helpful to trick things out into the open that u can kill with a 50. Cal. Because they dont look at ur commanders sight they look at ur main gun
one thing ive noticed from using this thing is its pretty good for hill peaking, of course the gun depression kinda hurts it a bit, but ive found spots on quite a few maps where I can make it work. The commander having such a high sight with thermals and a better zoom then the gunner makes it great for spotting targets. And with all the IFVs running around the 30mm does come in handy even without a top ap round.
The 30mm has gotten me so many A-10 kills, I love it XD
Spookston ASMR. I like it.
It's a really cool tank imo, the 30mm is definitely useful even against other MBTs but mostly from the sides and the TAPNA round is really powerful for 10.0!

The damage model for the tapna round may be flawed/ bugged, but either way the lower pen apfsdssdssds will have more spalling vs thiner armor. Also you can use the 30mm gunsight to aim better, and it is high enough you can shoot it behind cover.

The moderna irl is actually a really useful idea, the thing about tanks is that a lot of the time they don't fight other tanks, and since the T-72 doesn't have room for a CROW system without extensive modifications and a lot of money it's rather genius, being able to defend itself from infantry in high up buildings effectively, take out cars and LAVs without wasting a shell or the commander popping his head out to use the HMG

Since you mentioned up tiers and down tiers, this is a good time for my usual statement: Even though Gaijin thinks it will increase the time spent waiting for battles, the up/down tier system should be revamped from plus/minus one whole BR to instead being plus/minus a single decimal shift to keep fights on more equal footing. For example, a BR 3.3 lineup can only face opponents up to a BR 3.7 lineup, down to a BR 3.0 lineup or stay equal and fight a BR 3.3 lineup.
