Agree with Brock, very impressive .......
BUT
i wonder why this tank will be developed without WW2. No war showed that the other tanks aren't sufficient against the other tanks.
In OTL the Panther was the 1:1 answer of the T-34.

It is expected that mild-steel prototypes will make their appearance some time next month. Under optimal circumstances, low-rate production might commence in September, but that presumes no issues in testing. I'd expect no large-scale production before 1943.

Though I've not released the full specs yet (nor indeed fully decided on my specs), it'll make for an interesting comparison with the new Panther - comparable vehicles that are the result of different national theories about tanks.

While there is no combat experience to demonstrate that the current Panzer IV could not deal with the AT-36 or AT-37, the question is not so certain for the Bharati Arjun tank, and the Standardpanzer is expected to be able to cope with the next generation of tanks - like the French Montbrun and the expected Char-13.
If one waits for a demonstrable need for a weapon on the battlefield - to counter one the enemy already has in numbers - it is too late.

Thank you; it makes the point quite clear. While good training and good doctrine can outweigh technical factors (ie. IDF Super-Shermans versus Egyptian T-54s etc) to ignore technical developments elsewhere is unwise.

Tanks seem rather well along for early 1942. Ironically, while my 'military equipment progression' is mostly complete, if there is already a 90L50 gun in service, it looks like I'll have to add yet another tier for the late 1940s.

The Argun is just further in advance. This leads to such things as the Irish considering the 57mm obselete in their RFP. It's a rational evaluation given the "medium" tanks out there.

I fear you misunderstood the reason the Irish asked for a 75mm gun. They don't think the 57mm is obsolete - it's just that their experience has de-emphasized tank-versus-tank combat.
