Gaijin Double Standards
you mean that experimental thermal sight? that was only on a single tank? oh and BTW the T-80UK /T80UM was the one with the thermal sight, not the T-80U. If we follow this same logic those abrams with the D.U Hulled at the army school " should be baseline in the tech tree.
If they going to do anything first, they need to correct Merkavas and leave the Abrams the way it is just to troll USA mains because they’ve been talking too much smack lol
I know f-all about specific traits of tanks but I mean if that’s actually true, it’s more than enough to give the hull upgrades. Still won’t make play Abrams again though lol
That’s because the T-80UM was a test bed for drozd on the T-80U, it could easily fit a thermal but as it was a test vehicle they aren’t totally kitted out
anything without it and its not going to stop anything. that why everyone laughed at gaijin when they said M829A3 wouldn’t work, Gaijin just making up more stuff.
I mean… that document isn’t very specific and just says it can’t be penetrated at 1 km… doesn’t say anything about shorter ranges. 1 km might just be used as a benchmark for a standard range of engagement. Contrary to War Thunder, most engagements between tanks (which rarely happen to begin with) happen at or well beyond that range.
Also is this from an actual test of a real M829A2 shell being used against a T-90 with Relikt? Becuase if its not and just a calculation it just becomes a “he said she said”
I mean, even without a translator you can tell roughly what it’s talking about.
I’m 99% sure DM53 can UFP a T-80U, at least last time I checked.
It’s a T-80BVM according to the diagram. (Which has an upper plate = 425ishmm, add in the 260mm relict in game, and presto, you have the number why it should stop DM53. It just barely is over the mark when it comes to stop point blank DM53 but in game it still has a low chance to pen.
But relict is very minorly under preforming from the last technical data I laid eyes on, it should be stopping 280mm kinetic, not 260mm.
Just as Kontact 5 should be 140mm not 120mm, but whether it’s gaijin balancing or what not I don’t know.
