level Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 from what i can peek, the changes seems mostly cosmetic, and minor.the front mudflaps are angled on the PVthe stowage baskets on the turret opens outward on the PV, vs inward on the FTR, and theres 3 sliding handles vs 2 handlebars on the FTR.PV also seems to have some sort of countermeasure device moved above each smoke grenade array, which is also slightly modified.theres what seems like attachment lugs for equipment on the whole roof above the gun, as well as attachment lugs above the "ammunition stowage" location.PV seems to have an extra slab of armour on the upper front hull.on top of the gun mantle, theres additional protection, and the devices has changed their position, and an extra angled plate seems to have been added at the gunshield.4 attachment lugs in front of the GPS, and some difference in the armour slabs on the left side of the gun cradle extrusion thanks and there are some changes on front hull between two mudflaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

level Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 (edited) The tank can kneel ? Nice feature! that feature is essential in S. Korean Army because more than 70% of our terriotory is mountainous terrains and very steep. tanks should fire from higher grounds toward much lower fileds.

BP Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 The tank crew going to office or will that be their new uniforms? Somebody finally designed a useful urban cammo!

Wiki article also says that it has 400 hp APU, can anyone confirm that? Does not sound reasonable. Even 40 hp is a bit too much.

Catalan Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 Word to the wise, as an editor for Wikipedia and 'author' (main author at least) of the T-26 article, do not use Wikipedia as a source when looking at modern tanks (or most tanks at that) unless the are sourced. The only modern tank article that is really sources, but built on speculation, is the North Korean Ch'onma-ho article, also written by me. Thank God for James Warford's article published in Armor.

JOE BRENNAN Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Word to the wise... do not use Wikipedia as a source ...I edited your comment down to the bare essential If you need to be reasonably sure something is true it's not the place, I don't care if somebody did some study saying it's more accurate than Britannica, I don't believe it. Not for stuff where speculation and misinformation are only natural. But, for lack of any other info it's 'here's what the answer *might* be'. On 16 rounds in XK-2 AL, 40 total, a non Wik Korean language site (page on 'powercorea') said that also, although that doesn't make it a fact either.
