do you guys really think a crappy little badly armored car with one 7.62 MG is better then a moderately armored light TANK with 2 .50 cal machine guns?

the bA64 should be added not replaced. I think T60 is better replacement idea then BA64 anyways.

A BA-64 will be a good reconnaissance vehicle if its early game, built from the support structure compared to a non-existant t-90

yes, t-60 should replace t-90
a 20mm firing 700–800 rounds/min
and a 7.62 mm MG sounds almost better.

This was pre-patch, so it might not count but:

I had my T-90 fire at some Assault Grenadiers. 2 long MG Bursts later only one of them is dead. Then a Tank-Hunter squad came up and shot me once, forcing me to retreat my tank or lose it. I hate the T-90.

Oh, and not to mention that in a fight with an SdKfz. 222 Armored Car, it did almost nil damage, the armored car also did nothing. I suppose that's excusable because it isn't anti-armor but still, even the American Quad can hurt an Armored Car.

sorry I did not explain fully
the T-90 had no panzer shreks or fausts to deal with and if the German soldiers ran away then my conscripts (which were right behind the fog of war) would be ready to take half the map away from the Germans. That is why he did not press the "run away" button

BA-64 is already done, but as you can see its not in the mod at this point... (does not necessarily mean its going to be in)

It may make it in as a reward unit, though.

I never said I knew.  The devs have started talking about reward units recently-you can find posts about them.  There has even been talk about replacing the T-90.

That car would be okay as a scout unit and YES T-90 fulfills the same damn role but you still need to build the tank hall to gain access to it in the first place. Wehr & Americans get scout cars a tiny bit earlier.

But... my scout is a flood of conscripts anyways  ;D
