It using 1st gen gunner thermals vs 3rd gen gunner thermals could maybe be justify adding it at the same BR (tho I’m not a big thermal player anyways), but I feel like those other points certainly make it just noticeably better in vehicle characteristics. The main thing I feel like that matters the most is if the reverse speed is better, the same or worse, since that’s the main weakness of the Russian tanks.
Would it have the same gun handling (elevation and traverse speeds) as the BVM, UE-1 or the basic U?
Give me this

Would be a follow on upgrade but prob BR higher?
PS where are the frontal coverage Arena launchers? Noticing side and rear coverage on rear of turret
Are they built into/underneath frontal ERA arrays??
It does have a active protection system as you can see in the rear section and likely a passive protection system with laser signal receptors.
The small tubes in the front and sides are 81 mm Tucha smoke launchers, which likely works with the laser signal receptor and the active protection system offering cover when a threat is detected.

“The T-80BVM’s superior precursor” doesn’t narrow things down like a example i could think of right now is the Object 640 black eagle i bet there is allot more T-80BVM alertives we never got because of a certan man

Object 640 is relative to the T-80U, Object 219M is relative to the T-80B, since the T-80BVM is a heavy modernization of the earlier T-80 modifications.

Nice suggestion. The amount of T-80s in the USSR tree is a bit ridiculous atm tho.

Better go with the Burlak module. Otherwise, it’s just a regular T-80BVM, with the only real difference being the APS. The Burlak, on the other hand, is a whole new turret with a bustle autoloader that can load longer APFSDS. We already have another T-80BVM in the game files. we don’t need a third BVM. Even if the Burlak will still technically be a BVM, it’s got a way better turret
Both can be added

Hence we dont need Eastern European Soviet derivatives in the Ru tree … coz there’s already so much left still to be added.
How is it? if you didnt grind out events you get a maximum of three in the TT.
One of which is at 10.7, the other two are closer in BR but hte T80U really does suck for its BR, this thing would and could be a welcome change ot the USSR top tier tedium.
Much like we should see more of the earlier prototypes.
hell id love the object 277 in game!
Yup, it is sad for it’s br because of the FCS, (ESPECIALLY the vertical traverse speed and it being limited to 14°) and reverse speed. Otherwise it is a good sniping tank

I do wish it had a better round but yeah agreed
Its a pretty solid backup to the T-80BVM
