The T-64BV is a new researchable modification for the T-64B tanks, which adds a reactive set in War Thunder update 1.79. Pimp the tank!
In short: a new modification for the T-64B which makes your favourite tank even cooler! The Kontakt ERA set adds excellent defense to the hull and turret against ATGMs and HE shells.
In the early 1960s, the USSR held successful tests of reactive armour against explosive force, and by the early 1980s, a unified set of reactive add-on armour called Kontakt was ready to boost the defenses of the current tank fleet, and for installation on new vehicle models. Among the tanks which successfully completed state tests of the new reactive configuration was the medium T-64B tank, which was later modernized and given a new designation: the T-64BV.
In our game, the T-64B is a hero of high-rank tank battles. The vehicle has complex combined protection for hull and turret which does a good job of absorbing the energy of kinetic shells and even some chemical rounds. Thanks to the reactive add-on armour, the T-64BV is able to withstand hits from the most powerful HEAT shells and ATGMs of the HOT series - in the case where the hit occurs in the zone of maximum protection on the tank. At the same time, the reactive blocks are destroyed when shells hit them from volleys of high-calibre machine guns or automatic anti-air cannons. Demolition bomb explosions can even “blow off” the reactive blocks from whole area on the tank, so the new system is far from a panacea against enemy fire.
Fun fact: in the War Thunder team, there is a joke that the BV index in this tank’s designation are the initials of our lead game designer Bulannikov Vyacheslav, and of course, this tank will be impossible to destroy.
The upgrades to the T-64BV version will be implemented in the form of a researchable modification for the T-64B tank in War Thunder update 1.79. After researching this modification, the tank’s appearance will change, but any camouflage, decals or decorative items installed will remain.

are these kontakt -1 ERA? i've read that the Kontakt -1 is only effective against HEAT and APFSDS will still defeat it effectively. Only the Kontakt-5 ERA is capable of breaking the penetrator of APFSDS. But muh abrams drivers be like "increase BR, russian bias", "why does the m60 not have this as a RISE modification?","breenus mod". we all know that abrams ROFLstomps and this is a good way to balance it.
Irl it had kontakt-5 ERA, so thats what I would expect to be in game
BeowulfSword, T-64BV – Features "Kontakt-1" reactive armour and "Tucha" 81-mm smoke grenade launchers on the left of the turret. straight from wikipedia..... but still wikipedia can be wrong. correct me if the info is wrong.
So, you keep adding all these modern tanks that I'll never get to, and you don't seem to be working on Italian tanks...
I mean, you did put mentions of the P40 in the Q&A, but I want to see some progress! I have little doubt that a lot of other people want to see Italian tanks.
LukeBomber, LIke what? The P40 was pretty much the best the italians did in the war. We don´t need a second (or third if you coun´´t the french) US tree
Beautiful, I love it!
It's kind of funny to see people whine about "Russian Bias" just because this isn't a separate vehicle lol. I can't wait to see this ingame.
Now the leo 2k is probably ruined :(
Yeah. You should probably just quit War Thunder now.
*still laugths in Sturmpanzer II 15 CM HE*
so...making an already tough tank even tougher with no raise in br....way to fail gaijin...this thing can already lolpen the abrams from anywhere...if it can see it, it can pen it...meanwhile this thing is getting uparmored..what kind of bs is that? the abrams only has a few spots it can even pen to frontally engage this tanka nd because of the leo2k, flanking them is a little harder just because you have added tanks to fight, currently the only benifit of the abrams is that fast reload...
This armour "upgrade" doesn´t do anything. Noone fires HEAT at this BR. It is unreliable, has a low muzzle velocity and is less effective against most T6 vehicles. ATGMs are pretty much dead and the only tank using HEAT is a stock Leo 2k..
FaafVonFasslich, Leopard 2K fires HEATFS all the time, and irl this was supposed to defend against kinetic AND chemical rounds, not sure if this will be reflected in game
noooo.... finally i get tier 6 (mbt-70) and this happen! lol!
T-64 (Biased Version) because lets give the tank that's primary counter is HEAT-FS something to directly counter it, but as soon as it is American it is a whole new tank. The Americans dont need to waste more time or money getting this. Really makes you think why this game seems to be losing players.
Keep up the good work
