The Indian T-90 Bhishma Tank is Coming to War Thunder
Attention fans of armored battles: A special version of the T-90 main battle tank, which is in service with the Indian Army, is rolling onto the battlefield in the upcoming major War Thunder update! The T-90 Bhishma brings a whole range of interesting features with it, which we will take a closer look at.
T-90 Bhishma: A Tank with Character
The Indian T-90 Bhishma is more than just another tank in the game. It is a special version of the Russian T-90 that has been adapted to the needs of the Indian Army. Its ERA protection system, guided missiles, and modern fire control system make it an exotic and desirable addition to the top tier of British ground forces.
Why the T-90 Bhishma belongs to the British tech tree
You may be wondering why this tank is being added to the British tech tree. The answer is simple: Britain's top main battle tanks are typically specialized and designed for methodical combat. By adding additional export main battle tanks and other vehicles that have connections to some Commonwealth countries, the developers aim to provide more options and new approaches to British gameplay.
The features of the T-90 Bhishma
Now let's talk about the features of the T-90 Bhishma. Unlike its Russian cousin, the Indian model lacks the well-known soft-kill active protection system (the eerie red eyes) and the Russian 3BM60 APFSDS ammunition. Instead, the Indian Army has requested additional ERA protection blocks, which improve the overall frontal turret protection against attacks.
Nevertheless, the T-90 Bhishma offers good protection thanks to its modern design, including Kontakt-5 ERA and an advanced fire control system. However, be cautious: the T-90 Bhishma also has a poor reverse speed, an unavoidable legacy of the T-72 series.
Get the T-90 Bhishma - for free or with Gold Eagles
Just like other squadron vehicles, the T-90 Bhishma can be obtained for free by earning enough squadron activity points. Alternatively, you have the option to purchase it with Gold Eagles.
