I am suffering extremely hard from playing T80UD in GRB

Well from what I know “T series have ban T-80s and T-72AV” is basically all under 10.0. Also T-72s actually have a sturdier upper glacis compared to T80UD from my experience, its only the Kontakt-5’s sometimes being lucky to make it seem that T80UD’s upper glacis is good. Despite your claims, I still don’t see how T-80UD can fit any role in a GRB game properly.

The T-72B’s have a better UFP than the UD but they’re all functionally immune from their contemporaries, however the T-72AV isn’t, M774 in it’s nerfed state can pen the UFP of the AV.

The UD is just another Soviet T tank to bolster the 10.0 line-up with better K5 coverage on the turret. It brings all the same advantages and disadvantages as the other Soviet 10.0’s so I’m not sure how ‘it doesn’t fit any role’.

I often get penetrated by DM23 and DM33 on the upper front glacis of T80UD even when kilometers away from enemy, to the point that I think without Kontakt-5 its always going to be penetrated. T72AV does fit a sniper role for me due to its thermals, but T80UD has no advantage to really do anything is the claim. I already explained my experience and reasoning on why T80UD doesnt fit any role, so maybe don’t ask me how, but if you succeed in any role you can speak it out loud.

Literal skill issue.

T-80UD is easy mode at 10.0

Correct, this is especially an issue in CQC where your idler wheel weakspot is forced to show if you ever push.

T-80UD has good armor and a good round, and that’s really it.
Welcome to 10.0.

It’s also why I recommended NONE of my friends get the T-80UD.
There are better 10.0s in the tech tree.

T-80UD has:

-Better engine than other 10.0 Russian MBTs, good mobility overall. Overshadowed by NATO MBTs but still pretty mobile, especially compared to other Russian stuff.
-Better optics than pretty much any 10.0 tank. Same sight as T-90A, just without thermals.
-Better armor than most 10.0 tanks
-Better reload than any other 10.0 Russian MBT. 6.5 seconds still beats a low level Leopard 2 crew/any manually loaded 105mm armed tank.

Only thing it lacks compared to other tanks is thermals, but neither T-72B has them either.

Your only competitors in terms of your lineup at or around this BR are the T-90A and T-80B which are both higher BR than it.

I play all mbts the same way.

1: flank whenever possible and use uncommon routes/spots

2: aim for the universal weakspots regardless of model. Ex- aiming for the lfp and turret ring for all abrams

3: assume you have no armor

All Russian mbt are effectively the same experience. Same weak spots, no gun depression low crew count etc. Personally I hate playing Russian top tier so so very much

T-72B is far more armored and overall a better tank than T-80UD while being tech tree.

“But muh engine. But much 8x optioc. But muh 7.1 second reload.”
The 2nd one is 100% preference.
The engine has to cope with the transmission that holds it back.
And the 7.1 second reload doesn’t really matter when you one shot everything.

Skill issue my guy, suffering with one of the best tanks in the game is something else lol.

I think this says it all, you want to be able to play around being the best in the game firepower-wise. Either the missiles or the fast reload. The reason I see why you’re performing so poorly with the T80UD, is that you can’t cope with not being able to rush in, get four kills in one second and die. Now you have to take your finger of the W button.

it’s not skill issue, it’s fact.

It has heavy tank syndrome at 10.0.

Its clubs hard in downtiers where the armor works wonderfully. At 10.3+ the armor advantage dissapears and you have no thermals.

Its not like its bad even, just id rather be in the turms in an uptier.
