3BK12M: this is the stock ammunition which can be seen as poor when in frontal engagements against modern MBTs.It has a powerful selection of rounds, each with different uses and similarities between same types. The T-72A has the powerful 2A46M 125 mm smoothbore cannon. Suspension wheels and torsion bars are 20 mm thick while tracks are 30 mm thick.The driver should also be aware of having only 3 crew members if one is knocked out they should be sure to return to an objective point as soon as possible to get a new one.Ģ00-280 mm Turret front (variable angles)ġ50 - 400 mm Gun mantlet (variable angles) It doesn't take much to realize that like most Soviet MBTs, the T-72A is rather explosive if extra ammo is taken, so great care is needed when showing the hull. There are two diesel tank ammo racks within the tank - one to the right of the driver and one between the engine and fighting compartment (with some loose ammo above it). Therefore, bringing only 23 rounds (for 1 in the gun and 22 in the carousel) limits the chance of the spare ammo detonating in the case of a turret hit. Spare ammunition not inside the 22 round carousel is however spread more randomly around the fighting compartment. This is however slightly less likely to happen with the T-72As type of autoloader, where the charges are stored horizontally (as "=") in comparison to the T-64/-80 type, where the charge sits vertically and is easier to hit. This means that a penetrating hit to the centre of the tank has a high chance of leading to an ammunition detonation and subsequent launch of the turret. Like the T-64 and T-80 line, the T-72A has a carousel-type autoloader centred under the turret. The difference is that the T-72As upper glacis is angled at one degree further back than that of the T-64A and the use of Quartz core instead of High-Hardness Rolled Armour (HHRA) in the turret. The T-72A's hull armour is practically the same as the T-64A's textolite middle sandwiched between two RHA plates.
