DAMN these Regiments look fun as hell! Can't wait to try them out!

GJ!

After the next patch the 119th ITR would possibly replace the 79th GRD as the best RED armoured battlegroup. This is not a problem, given that the 79th GRD possibly has a better INF complement than the 3rd AD (at least in terms of numbers), but the 8th ID is way weaker than the 39th GMRD.

These changes are even less of an issue given that the Army General' battlegroups would be filled with the units in accordance with the real-life TO&Es, where it would be almost impossible to create those impossibly strong ultimate-supreme-superb-versatile multiplayer-type decks for all types of situations))

Based on those armchair generals' view, seems to be pretty good balance we achieved! :)

Those are your players you arrogant French ♥♥♥♥. Get out of your armchair and give the people who have bought early access real responses to their feedback (plus indication of when army general is actually coming out!). If you think that people are going to support Eugen if all you give the players is snark and wikipedia summaries than your PR team is as delusional as the Fuhrerbunker.

Free for all lol. Jesus. Yeah id hope your not making fing dlc for a half finished game.
Who am i kidding of course you are

I think it should be 119-y Otdelniy Tankoviy Polk(Отдельный танковый полк), not 119-y Odtelniy (Одтельный) Tankoviy Polk. Or I missed why it was done that way on purpose

Why give them modern T-80s they didn't have instead of more common tanks like T-72s?

Even after more than a hour of research, i can't find anything about the T-80BV Izd. 29 which would confirm its existence. The designation seems like nothing which NATO or western media used at that time and also it doesn't correlate with the abbrevations used by the russian military. There is only one version with the designation "BV" and no upgraded version before 1990 was built which would explain the increase in speed of 10 km/h.

So.... what's a T-80BV Izd. 29?

If they needed to buff the deck, they could have just lowered the cost of the T-80B. Would have been better for realism too.

when is UA F15 goint to have 8 missile just like in real life???

"Izd. 29" is a Soviet designation for a particular tank engine model, GTD-1250.

- "product 29" - GTD-1250, boosted to a power of 1250 hp by further increasing the temperature of the gases to 1340K; mass-produced since 1986; - "product 29G" - GTD-1250G with hydrostatic transmission, the whole complex of tests was carried out, recommended for mass production;

Awasome stuff, however, they could just add the T-80UK to have the division only composed of T-80U variants, its not too far from reality if they want to stick to it as much as possible.

Well, if there was one thing they didn't have in Germany, it was T-72 actually.
No Soviet division in Germany had any, only T-80 & T-64.

Search with GTD-1250, this is the name of the more powerful engine of the last veraitn. I don' remember exactly where the designtion "Izd. 29" come from.

Looking forward to it!

Ok, i now have the explanation for the designation "Izd. 29" but i didn't find any version of the T-80BV with this particular motor during my researches, which was built before 1990. Sure there are upgraded variants of that tank way after 1990 like the Object 219M but now we are talking from 2005 as timeframe. As far as i know there was no version of the T-80BV with the GTD-1250. So, is the T-80BV Izd. 29 a real tank and if yes, can you provide some source for me? And if not, what was the motivation for this change to the 79th and how does that correlate with decisions like not implementing such fictional or out-of-timeframe equipment for other nations and battlegroups (for example the Wiesel)?
