    The dual 30 mils were a cope for how shit Russian guns are. One shoots HE and the other shoots AP instead of having a single gun that can handle both ammo types. That should tell you all you need to know about that piece of junk.

      No you noguns autist, they shoot both at the same time, increasing DPS. That's how you fight larger vehicles with more HP

      >That should tell you all you need to know
      All it tells me was that they took a concept to an in service capability quickly and cheaply with what they had available.
      What you need to know is that a 30mm autocannon shooting HE is fricking dangerous if you're unprotected infantry. And a 30mm autocannon shooting AP will tear through anything less than an MBT. And that thing has both, and missiles.

            this is literally a war of attrition
            no air supremacy just semi static defensive lines with sides throwing massive amount of artillery at each other
            no single armored vehicle is going to make a difference if you can only bring ~100 of them to the front and the front is 200+ km
            theres is a reason Germany lost despite having the panther and tiger
            If I'm wrong please give me an example past world war 2 of a limited production armored vehicle being a decisive factor

              given that we've been seeing small columns of these things throughout the intervention and that we've been seeing these things showing up in combat semi-regularly, I think it's reasonable to say that they aren't running out of them anytime soon

                oh okay so they're just sending only the old gear to waste Ukraine's weapons, and ammo 7 months into the protracted intervention and the 900+ lost tanks and 900+ ifvs have been all part of the grand Russian strategy to let the terminators pull back anytime something goes wrong?

                Is that supposed to be a sensible point is it? Terminators were never going to win the war single handedly no matter how many there are. On open ground they are incredibly vulnerable to MBTs. But MBTs are vulnerable in urban environments where Terminators fill a capability gap. It's niche, but useful.

                We have a verifiable lack of data, since the Terminator wunderwaffe is vaporware. That's perhaps more telling than what we'd see if it was actually deployed.
                You're like a tard screeching that we can't talk about the Nazi Maus tank, because we don't really know it's specs as it was never deployed. As if that wasn't the fricking point, you absolute reltard.

                There's nothing about the Terminator that's overengineered, it's a very simple design. See:

                >>his industrial base isn't good enough to make a cannon that can shoot both kinds of ammo
                Says who? Dual feed mechanisms aren't cutting edge technology, but developing a new gun is expensive. Meanwhile two autocannons is nowhere near straining the suspension of a t-72.

                Cheap, effective, fit-for-purpose. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

                Russian lines are collapsing and an overly complicated dual cannon afv, that hasn't been produced in meaningful numbers during a war of attrition, isn't keeping Russian lines from collapsing against a Ukrainian counter attack, or really produced any observable results at all during this entire conflict

                >Russian lines are collapsing
                CNN is not reality my dude. It's too early to give an assessment on the Yuke offensives. I'll admit I'm surprised at how well they've done in a few places, not surprised at all at how poorly they've done in others, but the war is a long way from over.

                > overly complicated dual cannon afv
                I don't see anything overly complicated about it. In fact what I see is a very simple design cobbled together from old parts.

                >isn't keeping Russian lines from collapsing against a Ukrainian counter attack
                Nor would it if Russia had a couple of thousand of them.

                > or really produced any observable results at all during this entire conflict
                The fog of war is still thick even if Zalensky has a twitter account. We don't know what the Russian thinking is, and we pretty much only hear Yuke successes, which means no news is kind of good news. If the Yukes were smashing these every time they appear we'd definitely hear about that, and we haven't ergo there are two possibilities, either they've been successful every time and have yet to suffer a single loss, or they haven't been used to all and the Russians have some other plan.

                Which means we have no useful data.

                So is the Russian fleet of attack submarines. So they should probably stop building those too right? moron opinion.

                Western forces haven't fought a peer conflict since WW2. And my god did the Americans have vehicle problems in Iraq against disorganized Arab militia.

                You say "bogged down"
                I say "deliberately engineered a war of attrition."
                Judging Russian warplanners as "failed to be as American as possible" is a very stupid way to look at things. The American track record post-WW2 is terrible, "don't do what America does because it clearly doesn't work" is actually a pretty good starting spot.

                the T-72 is limited to +14 due to limitations with its small turret
                the M1 can do +20

                And +20 is still useless against a target on the third floor of a building within 13 meters or so. +14 forced you back to 20 meters. 7 meters. Big whoop.

                For those 6 degrees you buy the ability to engage a third floor target a whole 7 meters closer in an Abrams than in a T-72.

                Russia is poor, Russia has had more than 20000+ of its soldiers die invading a country poorer than Russia, Russia has no meaningful gains to show for this massive loss of life, Russia is currently losing its gains in a counteroffensive against a country poorer than Russia

                It's the same with "logistical issues" because they used civilian trucks, as if civilian trucks don't solve logistical issues.

                They've sent the T-62s. They haven't used up all their T-80BVMs, but they've sent the T-62s anyway.
                Because why would they send all their new stuff and THEN all their old stuff? Sending a mix of both is actually pretty sensible.

                >terminator is an incredibly niche weapon that "solves" a problem that didnt need its own design
                Nah disagree-ish. It's a niche design to be sure, and it's a hack-job, it's just cobbled together from shit they had laying around. But the theory behind it I think is actually pretty good, given that urban combat is going to be an ever increasing part of war.
                So as an experiment, I think it's pretty interesting.

                Because the embarrassment that is the russian army pulled T-62 out of service and didn't use them for years. Same with T-72As, and so on.

                or, get this, they are too rusted and neglected to bring out and have been forced to use T-62s for lack of anything else to send out
                because no sane man would use T-62s, no sane man would use T-72As either, but both have been spotted in the wild

                T-80BVMs are like 5 years old. Steel doesn't rust that fast.

                Seems pretty simple to me, a T-62 with a basic recondition and modernization, is good enough for MOST of the things a tank does. And everything it can't do, a T-80BVM can, so you put both in mixed units and the T-80BVM handles the hard stuff while the T-62 does it's best to keep up.

                It's the old thing, "any tank is better than no tank" with an extra step. A T-80BVM and a T-62 are better than a T-80BVM alone.

                T-62's armor is hopelessly outdated for a tank, and using a big fatass vehicle that both puts a huge strain on logistics and can get penetrated frontally by literally any handheld AT weapon from the past half century with an interior layout that will get several crew members killed instantly in the best case scenario is embarrassing, especially for a country that has been toting itself as the second army in the world.

                The T-72B should be the "reserve" tank here if anything, but Russia has run so fricking low on their tank stocks they're pulling out T-62's because they are that desperate for *anything* to use.

                Wrong. They are not pulling outT-62 because they are running low on T-72. They are pulling out T-62 because old fart volunteers know how to handle it, while the T-72 would require extra training. It's the same reaoson why Ukrainians argue that a sudden influx of western tanks without the corresponding training would do more harm than good.

                There's more to it. Training to use a tank effectively takes a long time. Crews need to know instinctively were every button on the tank is without think while coordinating complex manoeuvres with other tanks.

                Big cats are also a logistical nightmare, so a complete additional supply and and service chain has to be introduced.

                France explored creating a similar vehicle based on the Leclerc chassis.

                The conclusion they came to was that this was a useless vehicle that didn't fulfil a role. If top attack is in play then the extra armor is irrelevant, and the vehicle only has the same amount of armament as an IFV. So use the cheaper, more nimble IFV for urban warfare. Russia built it because it's a really cool concept if you're 12. Whoa! Look at this thing! It's a tank!!! With dual guns... And missiles! And TWO automatic grenade launchers! So epic!

              The Kherson front is far from static at the minute. The Ukrainians are having some success striking deep behind the frontlines and in many places the Russians are retreating in disarray whilst they are being harried by PGMs and artillery, whilst Russian airpower can't be brought to bear because of the confusion and fear of potent SAMs and Russian artillery cannot help the infantry for the same reasons plus lack of communication. Their guns had pre defined fields of fire which are now useless because Ukraine seems to be doing something of a decent job of fricking up the rear formations and supply lines of the Russians, causing panic and retreat and commanders on the ground don't have the experience, qualified men, comms and firepower to do much about it. They're fighting in a fashion that the Russians don't seem able to respond to, for the minute. What's more, the Ukrainians have a prodigious quantity of weapons available to to them and aren't shy about using them. At least on the Kherson front, I wouldn't call this a battle of attrition, as in the rest of the country

                Constituting about 10% of their capital. That's actually an INCREDIBLY slow loss rate. The Israelis lost 25% of their capital in 6 days.

                Meanwhile Ukraine has lost about 70% of it's starting capital, and about the same of the old Warsaw pact stuff too. Even with recovered Russian tanks, their armor is basically non-existent. The so-called Javelin plague didn't really change anything in the long run for Russia. They still have the tank advantage in the end which is their thing.

                It is. Historically speaking that's an incredibly slow rate of attrition. The rule of thumb is 2% per DAY. That's what America expects to lose.
                In WW1, the last real war of attrition, it was a third of tanks lost for every day of operation. At Cambrai they started with 400, and by the fourth day they had 10.

                So yeah, it's definitely worth pondering. I couldn't care less whether or not you're impressed, you're an idiot.

            what kind of underage moron shit is this?

            Not him but you guys are pretty fricking dumb to not realize he has a point. The strategic planning of how a vehicle will be used and how it fits into the overall doctrine is far, far more important than the tactical capabilities of the individual unit. Building technology demonstrators is good for R&D but means nothing if they don't reach the battlefield. It's highly ironic that russia of all countries isn't playing to it's strength of building cheap "good enough" designs that can be easily churned out with minimal tooling. The V2 was the most advanced weapon system of its time, but it cost the same as three or four strategic bombers, which would have actually influenced the outcome. Which would you rather have, 2 Su-57s or 20 Su-35s?

      Yep. Considering these were utterly forgotten by the zeitgeist for the last 6 months, and suddenly in the last 24 hours we've had 3 threads shitting on it; I have to assume some warthunder player has made a video about it.

    You were an idiot when you thought they were they were completely amazing and invulnerable.
    You're still an idiot for not recognizing how dangerous that thing is if you have to fight it.

      How dangerous is it? They were shuttled into Ukraine, we got pics for a couple weeks and then the whole thing was memoryholed. Are they too dangerous to use? Is the Terminator just TOO good? Or are they amother potemkin project unfit for use?

      They were dreamt up after Russia got buttfricked in Grozny. It was designed to cope with the fact that Russians can't wrap their heads around the concept of combined arms warfare.

    russian shit always was only good enough to oppress minorities, nothing more. They only had the image they cultivated themselves, but that's all it was - an image.

    Like, just check how many vehicles they lost in Afghanistan vs how many NATO lost there.

      That's a dumb comparison. The soviet union had a land border with Afghanistan, the Americans had to fly everything in.

            No shit obviously, the question is how do you think the US in any way would find a problem of volume in 20 years of needing to transport the requisite amount of vehicles to a country under consistent occupation? Distance literally was never a problem. The point about proximity somehow accounting for fewer US destroyed vehicles is blatantly asinine and practically a non-sequitur.

        Most of the material came from the sea via Pakistan. Load ship, send ship, 20 days later it arrives in Lahore, use commercial bulk trans up to the Khyber, and take it over from there.

    no one knows the effect of modern russian weapons systems. so far, only a few vehicles have been deployed. no formations. the russians do this because they expect nato to invade ukraine. the enemy is kept in the dark.

      That's not a bad theory.
      I have another one which is the Russians expected the war to last for several years and are being stingy with their stuff at the cost of their men.

        That only works for so long until morale gets so bad, which is OKish if you have guys sitting around in their trenches, just bored shitless. However, if those guys are told to go on an operation or they are in the way of a fast moving Ukrainian advance, well, self preservation takes over and they either run, surrender or frag their commanders, probably some combo of all 3.

          You know what else is really bad for morale? Running out of stuff.

          Think about it from the Russian perspective, assume that a quick victory is impossible, and that a war of attrition is inevitable, and that the west will lendlease Ukraine an ever increasing amount of modern equipment, BUT initially the Yukes will send untrained and poorly equipped militia to the front lines just to hold on.

          Over time the materiel advantage will shift to Ukraine, but the manpower advantage will shift even further towards Russia. Ergo you want to keep as much equipment in reserve as possible.

          It's just my theory, yours is good too.

          Certainly keeping the airforce mostly out of it supports the "just in case NATO joins in" theory.

            So when are gloves coming off comreade? Isn't losing 4 last months' worth of gains good reason to take off another pair and call the phantom russian air force? It's not like it'd be useful against NATO either way.

      its a pair of autocannons strapped to a T-72
      and not even very good ones

      it doesnt take a genius to realize this is a useless, hilariously niche, weapon solely created because the guns on their tanks lift worse than western ones

        And according to some yukeshill frick ITT that's "overengineering."
        And again, western tanks do not solve the problem the Terminators solve either.

    All I know is it sucked in Armored Warfare. The camo rating forced you to play it like an MBT but it didn't have the firepower to play like an MBT and it took up an AFV slot so you were hurting your team by taking away one of their scouts.

    The Terminator looks cool and has a cool name, that's it. It's a piece of propaganda people love to jerk off to. Unfortunately for them even Russian high command is apparently not impressed by them either given how few of them are actually made.
    It won't actually see combat either since the Terminator will be even cooler if it remains undefeated. No better way to ensure that than by never sending it out.

    The fact that it's just an AFV with (gee Billy) two autocannons, instead of one, should be a dead giveaway thats it's just another useless Russian wunderwuffe.

    Also it's name is the "terminator" to make it sound cool. Two guns and a cool name, why would it be any kind of game changer?
