That's the production version of the T-90M prototype.

It gives the commander a thermal sight, GPS, and Relikt ERA along with other things.

As of January 2012, 95% of T-90s in the Russian ground forces were T-90 or T-90A, so the T-90MS is in very limited production.

Right now the main Russian battle tanks are still the T-90, T-90A and T-80U.

look heaney i was thinking of getting world in conflict just so i could play your mod but then i saw nato was not in and would never be.
well lets just say i lost interest and the reasons why are the following:
1 im portuguese and i am a patriot and since nato is closesd thing i would get i got my hopes down
2 (this one is kind of an idea) if your are not going to add nato then please just please ad portugal for one its part of nate second it is more powerful then the USMC. the USMC is only a bit better brcause they have more numbers

so i hope you have taken these in mind and please respond quickly

in advance

thank you

Please firstly note that it is not my mod, it is the mod of the WIC : Modern Warfare Mod Team which I am a part of, however the main developer is blahdy.

I am a patriot too (but from the UK) and although it would be great to add NATO, we simply don't have the time. Adding NATO would take LITERALLY YEARS.

Also, we don't have enough unit descriptors left.

Oh and in the mod it is not the USMC, it is the entire US military, IE the Army, Navy, Air Force & Marines.

Portugal individually will not be added, because on a global scale it is insignificant. It's not even in the top 10 most militarily powerful countries in the world.

Sorry for getting your hopes down, but really the mod is great regardless of NATO being in it or not.

now i wasnt comparing entire armys and i wasnt comparing the entire portuguese military with the us army i was just comparing the fuzileiros (marines in english) with the usmc and thank you for your reply

on a further note portugal is not a very agressive country it only some soldiers go to paquistan and iraq with because we are a part of NATO while america has been at war for the last 2 decades also the portuguese army does actually teach the usmc and other devisions of the us army

again thank your for your attention
