If you are looking at from a weird angle to judge which turret it is (the rubber flaps are deceptive) … always check the smoke launcher array. Cast turret will have at the front like T-80U but the welded turrets will have them on either sides.

I have theory.
They mentioned the Obj id in the name i.e 478BE … which they dont have to coz its just a T-80UD within the Chinese tree area. Like any other tree an extra symbol would have sufficed.
As well as ‘slow reverse speed’ in the feature list.
I think they’re planning two variants. Hope-wishing here.
For events it’d be this standard T-80UD but with thermal.
But later they’ll introduce the “later” Object 478BE-1 variant, with better welded turret and 6DT-2E engine, as a premium.
What say?

Spoiler
again, the Oplot-P project and designation as compared to the Pakistani T-80UD (latest and greatest with welded turret) are still two different tanks
At the very least they could also introduce a domestic APFSDS making it more distinct from the regular T-80UD as the only difference so far in-game will be the slightly better ERA coverage and thermals.

T-80UD Bug Reports For Munition
Community Bug Reporting System - [DEV] T80UD/obj478BE should have chinese 125mm ammunition
Community Bug Reporting System - [DEV] T80UD/obj478BE should add 125mm DU APFSDS “naiza”
It should also have access to Chinese munition due to compatibility between Chinese 125mm and the T-80UDs 125mm.

Okay. In text we have upgrade T-80UD to Oplot-M version. Oplot-M it is BM Oplot.
Other variants of upgrade idk.
brother i admit im a patriot but that pargraph says could.
while it can be comparable in capability imnot sure what could be meant by T-84 standards. as far as i know, none of our T-80s have a CITV nor duplet
AFAIK As a result, modernization was abandoned.
What type of ERA would the T-80UD have? Would it be Nizh or Kontakt-5.
yep, at least partially as some sensors were modernised but not others case and point to the gunner TVD.
Im pretty sure its Kontak-5
Kontakt-5

This car will probably serve as the last car on the Pakistan subline. Because if you take Pakistan as a subline, a T-80UD that is also equipped with K5 will not actually be able to participate in the 12.0 battle. My guess is that gaijin will put it in China, and it will play a very big role, just like L2A7HU will go into Italy.
I’m hoping that with the addition of the T-80UD for China, Gaijin considers a Pakistani subtree. I also think it would be interesting if Pakistani T-80UDs received Chinese ammo (125-I probably, or maybe even the Naiza DU round), though realistically I’m sure Gaijin will just give the Pakistani T-80UD 3BM42.

Bad news, the current best munition Gaijin plans to add onto the T-80UD 478BE is the 3BM42 and almost all engine/transmission bug reports have been rejected. By the current look of things this will unfortunately turn out to be a straight up copy and paste in most regards.
