When will Russia get the T14 Armata for 11.0?

[Woofy McDoodle]

Russia is without a doubt the absolute worst faction for top tier. WW2 vehicles with a modern gun dont make a good lineup against stuff like Leopard 2A6 and Abrams.
NATO factions are just stomping Russia to the dirt.
It would help if Russia would get a tank that could hold up against vehicles like the Leopard 2 like the Armata. I know there is not much information released about it, but much of it is and Gaijin can make a playable tank out of the stuff that is publicy known. The classified stuff can be tweaked and balanced for now to fit the gameplay until we get further insight into the tank.
Even tho the Armata can barely keep up with the Leopard 2 in any way in Real Life (from the information that is known for now), it would give Russia ingame a much needed modern Vehicle that doesnt use outdated technology.
What do you guys think? Will we get a T14 soon or is that something we cant do due to lack of information?

Im just gonna quickly say NO.
I am a Russian main and I absolutly disagree. Wprst top tier nation is the US. Germany is the best and Russia is middle.

T-80s (all of em) are capable of fightning top tier. Then you still have the T-72B3 and T-90. Their major problem is reverse speed and mobility in general.
Given the new entrenching mechanic, it will make em more useful.

T-14 Armata is still extermly classified. Even the freaking dimensions are classified. How do you expect Gaijin to implement it? By putting random numbers on a board and throwing darts?

Just a few minutes ago I read a post from someone saying Sweden would be the worst top tier nation. Then there are people ranting that we need the newest abrams cause it got no armor. Then we got people saying the japanese with the type 90 have the most struggle with their enhanced 11.0 Leo 2A4. Then the ones complaining about the Challenger 2 being too slow for top tier and then the guys of the other nations complaining.

Personally tho I think we need Leopard 2A7 and the Eurofighter over everything else because I simply need that feeling of deutsche Übermacht >:(

Where is it classified? Everything that you need to know is to make it work in the game is already out it just takes a quick google search. Also I mentioned you can tweak the stats to make them work better in the game if there is any reason to for balacing reason (even tho that would not be nessecary as the T14 barely can keep up with the Leo2A5). I cant tell you what Tank Commander Dimitris second name is tho thats classified if you want to know stuff like that...

Absolutely no way would I consider the US to be the worst unless you're only looking at the big 3 nations. In which case, yeah, id agree. The Chally's are significantly less meta than the Abrams, The Ariete's haven't been relevant since every nation started getting lolpen darts, France and Japan both only have 2 mediocre MBTs and some mediocre AA. And China...actually i've never played China so no idea what their top tier is like, no do I know anyone who plays them, nor do I see them often, so it's difficult for me to place them.

Imo, top tier ranking (within the current meta) goes like this for me. (Nation's with asterisks are nation's that I play at top tier), don't know enough about china to confidently rank them

I have both China and Italy top tier, id place China above Italy, the Arietes are way too unreliable especially in the armor department. The Type-99s are basically better T90As, not anything meta but they are great snipers especially with gen2 thermals and their super low profile.
Centauro 120 is a blast to play but you are easy prey for CAS, speaking of CAS the J7E wrecks the living s*** out of everything: tanks, planes, helis you name it that thing can make short work of it. Honestly if it weren't for the J7E China would be on par with Italy.

Also I don't drown in SL debt when playing top tier CN, can't say the same for IT.
CN currently isn't very impressive but considering the vast amount of stuff Gaijin can still add for them especially at high tiers, they'll be climbing that rank ladder soon enough.

T14 will come at same time as leopard2a7AV and m1a2SEP comes, even so it will be very OP.
When T14 armata comes, everybody will only play that, or most people will.
As little i know about it, T14 will be the faster MBT in game, it will reach map right spots/objectives 1st than anyone can.
T14 also has all crew at the hull, 3 crewman i think, so shooting its turrent is almost useless, only if you need to buy time disabling it.
The armour , my guess is about 900mm vs kinectic frontal protection, also it has countermeasures to destroy incoming atgms and other projectiles forms.
In real life i or all of us believe that T14 has more than this i mention, who knows?
Im not seeing T14 armata comming soon, or if it comes it will break the game forever.
This is my opinion, i might be wrong or not.

Considering the T14 is no longer in production, I can't remember which T series was selected but the current plan as of last december or novemeber is to upgrade an existing model.... again. If we do get it then it'll likely be a premium/event/squadron tank (similar to the leo PL but now so people can jump straight to 11.0 instead of 10.0). As far as it being in the tech tree, I doubt it and besides that Gaijin would need to do quite a lot of detective work to figure out all the specs on the T14 Armada. However it would be quite strong as a counter for ATGM carriers though considering most of the top tier ATGM carriers are russian its not exactly useful, and IFV's would still be a danger do to their auto cannons and scouting abilities, but if someone brings something like a wiesel 1a2 with the big rocket launcher on top, the T14 is going to have a field day batting their ATGM's out of the sky.

So if the T14 has its breech knocked out you shouldn't be able to repair right?

You can repair the MG's and autocannons and missile launchers in crewless turrets, why not the T14 breach.
