I agree. I have been able to one shot them about 97% of the time.
I think so. The HE is pretty good and it allows you to take out tanks that are only showing a part of themselves.

The same way you’d kill the T-64B, T-72B '89, and T-80B.
They’re all at the same BR and have way more armor.

Ammo in the rear of the turret won’t kill as far as I’ve seen.
T-80B, not even a BV.
It is a T-80BV hull
Unlike the T-64B and the BV upgrade kit the BV for the T-80 series is an entirely different vehicle to the T-80B, it shares the composite layout of the T-80U for the hull besides the additional protection to the LFP but maintains the T-80B composite layout for the turret
You can see in game the 292 has the 50/30 composite scheme that the 80U has for the hull but has an 1100hp engine not the 1000 of the B or 1250 of the U
problem is that a lot of times you’re only able to shoot the turret which is pretty much pointless if you’re not using Hesh or HE (and he also has to be standing still or slow)
and 2nd problem is the giant fuel tank in the front usually eats shells
Compared to other IFVs, the 2S38 feels the most RNG wether your shot will actually kill it or not
Edit: and thats ignoring everything it has that makes it better than those other 10.0 IFVs
Also the 2S38 will pen the M1 and Leo 2 in the front effectively at around 800m, could also do 1km but it wouldn’t be that good
So not sure how that’s been working out for you unless it’s a newbie trying to speedrun the tree and not knowing he can pen it

It doesn’t have ERA, nor the additional UFP plate.
The T-80BV was purely an ERA modification that accompanied all 1985 upgrades, ranging from the T-72B, T-80U, T-72AV, and the T-80BV itself.
The fuck are you talking about? The '292 has the 50/50/50 hull of the T-80U… It has a basic '219R turret with the standard T-80U hull.
The T-80B had the 1100hp GTD-1000TF. The only tank to use the base model GTD-1000T is the base model T-80, while IRL the Obj. '292 and T-80U 1992+ used the GTD-1250.
It was supposed to upgrade to either the 1250G or 1500, though neither were ready during testing.
yeah idk who was the mastermind who tought a T80 tank with almost 700 mm of pen would be a good idea at 10.0, the thing has good armor mobility and gun superior to anyone at its BR while people say its bad cuz of bad handling or bad reload as if that stopped it from blasting everything at 10.0 like nothing

That is where the charges are kept, ammo is under the turret and the first stage is on the left hand side
Ive had a leopard bounce a shot

Can any of you see it doing well because i think it needs big maps

People often discuss the occurrences of this matter as if it’s something that happens only once or twice, but I’ve seen that it lives more than what it dies 9.3’s cant kill this thing cuz their shell goes right trough the lower hull without doing anything cuz of the low spalling. People claim that the turret can be penetrated, and while that is true, it’s a situational occurrence. I’ve experienced multiple instances where shots bounced off the turret, making it an unreliable shot. In all honesty, I believe this vehicle should not be rated at 10.0.

Gaijin devs summed up. We dont do vehicles that are prototypes, without proper documentation, unless its Russian. Than all of them are well documented and will be in game.

yeah but as i said before this dosent stop if from stomping everything in one shot, this is a decently armored vehicle with good mobility and an extremely good gun its unbalanced at the BR it is right now
this are all vehicles that have been documented and there is a lot of info about specially the PSO and AGS, there isnt even a single archive stating the penetration of the object 292 shell for my knowledge

Game itself stops you from this.
No, it is not.
I havent tried it myself yet, but already saw plenty of them in battles at 11.7 (considering i heard many suggestions to raise it to 10.7, i think its valid) and they are just another soviet mbt, but with even longer window of opportunity after it fires. And yep, my Type 10 tanked shots from 292 (i havent been one-shotted once yet).

i really doubt this considering i have been 1 shot quite easily with higher tier vehicles such as the Leopard 2A7V wich btw can be pen’d in the turret by the object 292
You free to doubt. But thats what it is. 292 gun is pretty powerful, yes. But you still have to aim properly (and specially because of Gaijinmoments).
Yes. After wedge is destroyed.
