cool, although 2 links say it will have a 135mm smoothbore and 2 say it will have a 152mm gun/missile launcher. im sure either system will be formidible, the one link is rules for a game.

I was checking out some of the comments being made about in on one of the forum sites linked from those pages and there's a lot of doubt about it's overall combat worthiness and the reliance on that autoloader system the soviets originally developed for their T-80s and the wisdom of having the entire crew down within the hull. The T-95 is supposedly only for export....one has to wonder why? ;D
