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.
No T-90A have better armor. And imagine they have only 0.3 br difrence but T90 A have thermal, top tier shell, and better armor only weakness reload speed.
UD has 6s reload, and that’s one second quicker bro. That’s a good enough trade off for the lack of thermals, but for my play style I’ll pick thermals over the quicker reload.
