Yeah hes telling that to me, when I used to run it at 10.7 when it was 10.3, and have done exceptionally well with it compared to the other 10.3 russian vehicles.
Okay so let’s start with this mate. read what I said, the T80UD was a 10.7 tank before the reload buff came through, when the T80B had a 7.1 second reload and the T80UD had the 6.5.
Gen 1 thermals, with substantially worse optics isn’t exactly a mega upgrade, I do far better with the UD at long ranges than the 80B.
T80B is not silent, at all.
No, it shouldn’t. It’s got an 11.7 tanks armour (slightly different) at 10.7 , same reload and mobility equivelant to the T90A at 11.0.
The magnification on the UD VS the B is just too much of a difference the 80B has nice optics for the BR but the UD is packing 11.7 optics xD they’ve got great sniping capabilities.
It deserves 10.7 or even 11.0 in RB, sure it doesn’t have thermals but I could fight that thing in a XM-1, and say what you want it’s practically a wall. I played at 10.3 (test drive) and went positive every game. In fact it was barely fun, all down tiers nothing can pen (not even things like 2A4’s when in up tiers) and you just drive forward like a wall. I’d say it’s actually about as balanced as they can make it, I don’t want the tank to be bad, but I want it to be at least semi fair.
Cv 90105 5 second reload time, reverse speed 2nd thermal, still good shell if you know where are you shooting. No armor ofc but with maneuver and map knowloge you can use hill or wall like armor. And I dont say it is should be 10.7 br because premium tanks shpuld be comfortable for grinding and also Turm III monster of 8.3 br, 5 second reload time 30 mm machine gun stabilizer and still i dont say it is should be go higher.
I recently got the 80UM2 and even at 11.7 the no thermals aint a big deal.
At all tbh.
Still spading it right enough so not doing as good as i want.
I use all trees, thw T80UD was a 10.7 tank before it got buffed.
I played the vast majority of my 80UD games at 10.7 with the 80B, nothing for me has changed at all, hell i take it to 11.7
My friend, i play it exclusively at 10.7 and 11.7, the tank is solid.
Its literally a T90A light, better armour, same mobility, worse round but better reload.
