T-14 stats

As the T-14 has supposedly been tested in Syria what do folks think its stats and that of the T=15 might be? Will it be in CWC 2?

As we don't have the CWC2 stats yet anyway, that's a bit problematic to work out by comparison.

As has been discussed before, CWC2 doesn't really work for post-1991 vehicles, as most of the top notch MBTs would be 8 hits at 2+ to save with 8D6/200 attacks or similar. Then you'd need rules for various APS systems as well. Within the breadth of stats available, they would lead to unbalanced or even boring gameplay.

Has anyone seen any evidence of T-14 being tested in Syria?

Core CWC II is likely to go up to 1st Gulf War.

There will then need to be supplements going forwards. As Sultanbey states the time range becomes too broad and we start to see new weaponry appearing that significantly change the shape of the game. Effectively trying to cover a period that encompasses Pattons at one end and Abrams at the other is hard enough 

I had looked at limiting CWC II to the end of the Cold War, with supplements there after, but there seems to be a demand for the core rules to run longer.

Mark be carful about how far up you go, we really only know about equipment up to 20 or so years ago. The military like to keep their kit secret. Remember the ability of $£^'s to inject viruses into ACRV software.

I always leave the hits on so I guess this changes the game. War gamers have always wanted to game the present time. I guess there is a case to have three grades of kit advanced, contemporary and obsolete.
