are there any russian T80UDs with thermals or is this whole thing just based on a technicality?
as far as I have been able to find is that the pakistani export T80UD and some ukrainian modernizations featured thermal sights. Nothing for the old soviet version tho but night image-intensifiers
10.5 didn’t have mobility nerfs, and its increase in BR was more decompression than anything. Leave that tank out of any ‘woe is me’ discussion. Only thing it got impacted by was some changes to the 10.5 shell that has lessened its post-pen damage a little, but it still gets the job done.
Have you tried playing the game at least once? Aren’t you bothered by the queues at this rank? Or why is everyone so keen to keep playing for the USSR? It must be so hard to understand.
The T26E5 being at the same br as the t29 and t34 and m46 is crazy (in arcade).
The tank is has a lot off armor but its not unkillable.
I feel like the speed trade off for armor is not worth it and fighting anything with apds and heat is a death sentance.(German 8.0,Russsia 8.0,UK 8.0,Israel 8.0 etc…)
Its current br is fine it can be killed with he and heat vehicles at its br and there are many weak spots to one shot it.
Its 6.7 br is fine and balanced,7.0 is too high for the current state of the game.
If the max br was 13.7 in ground i would understand.
