Why is a terrible North Korean tank in this game?

[Arceal]

The PT-85 (Object 906) and earlier/late models is not only insanely ugly; But it also has a stabilizer for some reason. I have researched a fair bit on this tank and saw no where that the tank has stabilizers. And there is also very little known about the tank in the first place. So know one knows what it shoots. It does have a ATGM on the BMP-1 model. (If I remember correctly) But how do we know they have HEAT? For all we know that ATGM on the tank could be purely HE. I am also willing to bet that the tank in real life only has solid shot AP.

I am mostly ranting about this ugly tank. But one thing I know almost for sure, is that it does not have stabilizers. I would however welcome some sources. I would like to know more about the tank. So if anyone has any good sources, please send them my way.

PT-85 (Ob'yekt 906) (Not to be confused with PT-85 with a cast turret or North Korean Type 82) – Based on the chassis of the PT-76, armed with 85 mm D-58 tank gun, two prototypes were built.

Thats what the Wiki said :P

This is the Type 82, a.k.a your PT 85 :)

I cannot find anything on the in game object 906. All I find when I google it is War Thunder wiki's. And if I google it's nickname "River Mosquito", only more WT wikis pop up. However on your second link, if you google search that image google will recognize it as a pt-85. I haven't found anything on the Object 906 that is in war thunder.

The object 906 is a modified version of the PT 76 and it's in the variants of the PT 76 Wiki and theres three of them, it's confusing TBH.

Thank you for helping me clear this up. I don't know why they would call it the Object 906 as opposed to PT-76. That made stuff really confusing for research. Normally when you hover over a tank in the hanger it will show it's true name. Like the Ferdinand for example; it will say something like Jagtiger. But not with this tank.

Because the PT-76 is already in the game. Calling them both "PT-76" would be extremely confusing.

this museum just outside of moscow has one, presumably more information is available there but i cant find much online

in any case how are you mistaking it for north korean? its the russian prototype derivitive of the pt76, just because north korea had one with the same name does not make them the same thing

He isnt the only one. Even the wikipedia entry says "Not to be confused with PT-85 with a cast turret or North Korean Type 82"

Was a lot better option before they made that land bridge below the actual bridge (and into the port a bit).

because it is a game not a sim

Object (or "объект/obyekt) is factory designation. These mainly help designate what bureau designed it. A quick list on to which number denotes what factory:

100: Altai Tractor Plant
200: Leningrad Kirov Plant
300:Uraltransmash
400: Kharkov Heavy Machine Building Plant
500: Omsk
600: Kurganmashzavod
700: Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant
800: Assigned to various OKBs
900: Volograd (or Stalingrad depending on the time) Tractor Plant

Of course, like any similar system, sometimes there are odd ones or ones that don't exactly follow this system. An example being the IS-2, factory designation Object 240. So we go to the 200 series, Leningrad Kirov Plant, and if we search anywhere we can find that the Leningrad Kirov Plant was the first one to start producing them. We have "Object 906" and "Object 268" because they never recieved a designation past that.
