T90 stats

[Mr Evil]

hi guys, ok i have a bucket of MEA now, but to make a game out of them i need to add some form of points eater.

from what i can see the T90 has a slightly better gun than the type 99, but is an old design now.

so what would you propodr for a T90 stat line ?

and then what changes would you make to downgrade it to a T72 ?

Well the MEA are getting a full blooded tank, the Zulfiquar(sp?) from Iran. It's a modern tank in all regards, maybe not as high tech as some, but it kind of seems better than even the PLA tank.

I'd go with Type 99stats actually, maybe add something for Shtora-1-stuff to protect it a little extra

For the short term I'd just use Hiro's Type 99 card - it's close enough for gov't work - pointed out as well as anything else - and in the end this a game based on a fair amount of speculation in the first place :?

I think the T-99 should have a move of 8" as it's closer to the M1. The t-90 is on par for 7" though

M1 = road: 72 kph; Off-road: 48 kph
t-90 = road 65kph; max off-road 45kph
t-99 = road 80 kph; off-road 60kph (probably a tad skewed by propganda)
Challenger II = road 59 kph; 33 kph

They have roughly the same main gun. The only improvement would be the loading system - more of rate of fire increase, but not really reflected in the game for tanks. Any improved ammo would like be available to both.

Only other change may be to drop the kill by one to reflect the mildly weaker armor. Though some of the latest T-90 II have an variant of reactive armor so it's up to you.

===============
t-72 60 kph on road; 45 kph off road = Leave the speed at 7"

Drop the armor save to 3+; and possibly only ignore 2 failed saves instead of 3 like the t-99.

The Russian T90 and Chinese Type 99 both have autoloaders, which have a slightly slower rate of fire than a human loader.

sorry, that was VERY poorly worded. I meant the T-99 likely had a faster loading system than the t-90, but that wouldn't come into play in the game.

Ah! Yes I see what you were saying now. You may be correct. Either way we're splitting hairs.
