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.

and what german had ??? 120mm without give a shit to armor ??? nice
So if this is going to be a Modification for the T-64B, When is the Challenger Going to get its ERA plates on the lower and frontal plate? It never entered combat without them.
Pretty sure they're adding that this patch
Does this mean we get leopard 2 and challenger 2s ?
Leopard 2 yes, I dont think there will be Challenger 2s
Kind of ruins the purpose of making this devblog. It's not even a new tank, just a modification. It could have just as easily been made as a separate vehicle in a sub folder. Also, when are y'all going to add an update that doesn't main in tier VI tanks? I mean seriously it's depressing for the people who don't play or don't even have higher tier stuff yet.
Hmmm. researchable modification this going to be a big update. Also A Question Devs: "Any news in any helicopter related development? I really miss those times."
Yep better give it ERA so the 5% chance we had of hitting a vehicle with an atgm currently becomes useless.
wow really japan is getting a 1990s tank and russia is only getting another t64 b with "Kontakt-1" reactive armour and "Tucha" 81-mm smoke grenade launchers on the left of the turret. If anything russia need something like the t64-t to compete with other more mobile mbts out there since t64's armor is not really good enough.
what about you add that object 292 thing since japan is getting vehicle from the 90s that is made to counter the next gen tank from t64 the t72.
In my opinion, this is a really bad idea. Adding this to the T-64B without changing its BR is just going to lead to balance issues and an upset player base. Sure it may lead you to some short term financial gains with people trying to get the modification... But that will be minimal and in the long run it is going to disrupt the balance of top tier and cost you a portion of your player base. This seems ill thought out given the already condensed BR system, and effectiveness of this vehicle.
So will there be such an addon armor for the challenger? Or are you guys favouring the russian tanks again?
you must be ret.... dude where on earth have you seen a Challenger with ERA ?
Ghostkiwo, Like.... Everywhere maybe? go and check it out yourself
