Description:
TR-85m1 is a MBT used by the Romanian ground forces.

This is a weaponized MBT with a 2 plain stabilized which can also lock on using a radar gun and a 50caliber machinegun on the top. This tank in real life is considered to be one of the worst MBT’s sadly because it’s based on a 1985 model, however in stormworks this is a beast. It can reach 57kph and around 120kph in reverse don’t ask why, like Todd Howards said "It just works." :). The ammo racks are placed under the turret and inside the turret. The commander can use the 50cal and also control a stabilized camera. Almost the whole tank is a weight block except the engine which is jet because the modular engines produce some strange noises at 50-100 throttle. For now this is all what you need to know about this tank if you want to find out more scroll down! This vehicle is 0.75:1 recreation (75% exact measures, less wheels).

Stab camera guide

When activating stabilizer rise the camera do not move it left or right otherwise it will go back to it’s original position.

Ballistic computer

-Use keypad [left in the floor for pitch]
-Activate ballistic computer

How many crew members are needed?

Only 2 if the gunner can also manage to load the gun if not 3.
The max crewmembers this tank can fit is 5:
1 Commander
1 Radio operator
1 Driver
1 Gunner
1 Loader

How does the radar tracking works?

It will track anything detected by the white big static radar.

How does the ballistic computer works?

Well you activate it and if you are not super far you can hit the target.

How does the APS/RWR works?

The RWR detects radar lock, APS fires chaffs if something locks on. Aps also activates a nice radar that can see up to 2000m away from the tank. Note mach 3 missiles that are launched from near ranges can get past the system. However normal mach 1/2 missiles can’t really get past the shield.

Testing stats

-Usual missile fail rate [range 800m]: 98%
-Mach 3 top tier missile fail rate [range 700m]: 95%
-Conclusion: The more range the better chance of not getting hit but also consumes more chaffs. Driving while having this protection, reduces a lot the chances of getting hit.
-After firing 8 top tier missiles the tank remained with 2 chaffs, but it didn’t got hit once.
-On 800m it consumes between 1-3 chaffs at once.

History

The TR-85 is a third-generation main battle tank designed for the armed forces of Romania. Based on the TR-77-580, the TR-85 tank was developed from 1978 to 1985 and produced from 1986 until 1990. A modernization program was initiated in March 1994 in order to upgrade the TR-85 tanks to NATO standards. The result was the TR-85M1 Bizonul ("Bison") main battle tank, currently the most modern tank in service with the Romanian Land Forces. Although a further development of the T-55, the TR-85M1 uses a T-block powerpack (similar to the one used in the Leopard 1) based on a V8 German 830 hp (620 kW) diesel engine, an improved turret, a locally-designed "Ciclop" fire control system (with cross-wind sensor, laser rangefinder and night vision), new 100 mm BM-412 Sg APFSDS-T projectiles and a completely redesigned suspension with 6 road wheels on each side, protected by metal side skirts. Combat weight is 50 tons.

Development

While the TR-77 was developed, from 1974 the Romanian engineers continued work on a reverse engineered version of the 800-horsepower MTU Leopard 1 engine and transmission. The work came to a halt, as the engineers lacked the experience to reverse engineer such complex designs. By 1976 however, Institutul Național de Motoare Termice (National institute for thermal motors) stated that it could design an engine based on the Leopard 1 diesel engine model using available technology and solutions. Also, the hydromechanic transmission was designed by the ICSITEM research institute from Bucharest based on an available model and produced by Hidromecanica Brașov factory, thus completing the T-block powerpack. The engine and transmission were designed between 1974 and 1982, using foreign technology. Ion Mihai Pacepa, a two-star Romanian Securitate general and the highest-ranking intelligence official ever to have defected from the former Eastern Bloc, later asserted in his book Red Horizons: Chronicles of a Communist Spy Chief that the engine technology was obtained using spy rings and confidential assistance from the Federal Republic of Germany.

The new tank was officially known as the TR-85-800 (Tanc Românesc model 1985 cu motor de 800cp – Romanian Tank model 1985 with 800 hp engine) and was designed between 1978 and 1986. The engine had a maximum output of 830 horse power. The suspension was redesigned and the turret, while bearing a strong resemblance to the T-55 series, was actually different.
