The Legendary T-72

A cheap, reliable, and powerful Main Battle Tank

Introduced in 1973, T-72 is a one of Soviet and Russian's Main Battle Tank, having served in a lot of wars and countries, the T-72 was a product of a rivalry between design teams from the Morozov KB led by Aleksander Morozov (the designer of the T-64) and from the Uralvagon KB led by Leonid Kartsev (the designer of the T-72), both of which saw success in their tank as both tanks served in the Soviet Army, but the T-72 gain a lot more recognitions than the T-64 as the tank is more cheaper, more reliable, and widely used by Warsaw Pact and other Soviet Allied countries, rather than the T-64 which is troublesome and pretty costly to develop and produce

-Protection-
The protection of the T-72 varies between its variants, the early production of T-72s have a homogeneous cast steel armour with an adition of a spaced armor technology in the hull and an entirely homogeneous cast steel armour in turret, but with the T-72A upgrade in 1978, the tank was outfitted with a new composite armor, they inserted the frontal turret armor with a ceramic rods as a mean to protect the crews from HEAT ammunition, as the frontal hull armor it was inserted with a mix of steel plate and textolite layer, the later and newer variants like the T-72B and T-72B3 includes an aditional ERA protection. The tank is also outfitted with a NBC protection to protect the crew from radiation hazard

-Armament-
The T-72 is equipped with the 2A64M 125mm smoothbore cannon as its main weapon, with the coaxial PKT 7,62x54mm MG as a secondary and a NSV 12,7x99mm HMG as an anti-aircraft gun. The 2A64M cannon is equipped with a wide arrays of ammunition with the 3BM15 and the 3BM22 APFSDS round being commonly used in Soviet service, and the more advanced 3BM42 and the 3BM60 used in the Russian service with the adition of ATGMs to eleminate targets beyond the AP round range

-Mobility-
The T-72 boast a pretty powerfull engine, it can go forward as fast as 60kmh or 37mph, but it has a very terible reverse speed which is 5kmh or 3mph, nonetheless its fast forward speed makes this tank very good in a fast paced forward assault

-Ingame-
In this ingame model i made
Which is the T-72A
Its almost as accurate as the real life counterpart to say the least, i tried my best for it to mimick the performance of its real life counterpart, it has a pretty sturdy frontal armor, a working smoke dispenser, an almost realistic mobility performance, and an almost realistic gunner sight
I tried to make the commander's NSV Heavy Machine Gun to work aswell but it was so time consuming that i ended up not to include it in the final product anyway

[Note]
-Use AG1 to control the tank movement
Roll to move forward, yaw to move left and right
-Use AG2 to control the tank's turret
Use roll to move up, down, left, and right
-The tank's suspension will go weird if you play it in the Low Quality setting, use Medium Quality setting so that it can work
-It is VERY mobile friendly
-It is fun to use
-And it has a realistic armor protection performance
(Shoutout to Nofferston for the armor formula)

    Needs instructions for action groups and the wheels aren't connected to the engines, but overall a good build.
