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.

We could argue for naiza if i can manage to find some sources for it

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.

not another damn T80U
I don’t mind it if the BR is 10.3. Please don’t make it 10.7.
I’d prefer the T-80UD 478BE to be placed at the BR of 11.0, this is because the 10.3 lineup is lowkey hit or miss compared to their 11.0 lineup. The Tor-M1 is also going to be moving down to 11.0 yet again reinforcing that BR lineup.
I also highly doubt it would be coming at 10.3 anyways, the lowest BR I see it coming would be 10.7 minimum and China has literally nothing there - as a substitute they could also add the Naiza depleted uranium APFDS, it would be the best penetrating kinetic round China would have making it more than worthy of the 11.0 status.

WHATTTTTT???
That thing is better than 11.0 what are they thinking???
Also i rlly do hope they give us the 478BE-1 as tech tree to follow this up.

Real, the Tor-M1 is my most favourite SPAA for when it actually comes to destroying aircraft, it has a solid 12km of engagement range and the most manoeuvrable missile out of all other SPAA in-game. It was perfectly fine at 11.7 but hey, I’ll gladly abuse it at 11.0 lmao.
The HQ-17 is also going to be 11.3 XD

Yeah, the very least they could do is make the 478BE-1 a tech tree vehicle and move it up to 11.7 or 12.0 depending on how well it performs (it would likely be just a better T-80BVM minus hull protection).

I can totally see Gaijin add the 478BE-1 as another TT 12.0 MBT if they give them Chinese/Pakistani 125mm shells. It will have more firepower but less protection than the T-84. If Gaijin does not plan to add more lines to Ground TT, it can go after VT-4A1 with VT-4A1 moving down to 11.7.
