Neat looking tank, shame the T-80U’s and BVM make it irrelevant.

I strongly disagree with that statement. My experience with all the T-72s in the game has been really good and it really just comes down to knowing how to play them. The B3 is an excellent vehicle, and the fact that we’re getting another version with Arena APS is a fantastic addition. Having said that, it’s definitely not an irrelevant MBT.

T-80BVM, T-80UE-1, T-80UK, T-80U. Followed by the T-90M, T-72B3A, T-72B3.

A 6th spawn tank is pretty irrelevant, and that’s if you don’t use backups on the T-80’s.

Even if you don’t own the premium T-80UE-1, its still way down the list.

I personally prefer T-72/90 over T-80 due to better survivability so for me its great addition. But I am arcade player so there are some differences in play style.

T-80s are overall better, if you can perform in the T-72s, you will most likely perform even better with T-80s. Do you happen to use multiple accounts? because your record says all your T-72s still in stock form lol

Most likely lucky, I also got 8 kills in my first match in TTD with stock HEATFS, it was 130sp partial downtier, and enemy are a bunch of BMPs, the nuke icon even shows up

I usually play at my buddy’s place since he’s always hooked on the game. Most of the time I’m playing lower tiers on my shit, but whenever I do use the T-72s, I’ve never had a problem with them.

Its coming

Your experience in the T-72B3? You have 3 matches…

Like I mentioned before, I mostly play at my buddy’s place on his account.

I’m looking forward to this regardless of how useful it will be, I’m going with the Rule of Cool.

Now that the t-72b3a is coming to war thunder, why not also add the t-90m with arena-m in the future? Also the vehicle being 12.0 is kind of a downer 😔

It’s a T-72B3 with an APS why shouldn’t it be 12.0?

Aps doesn’t give that much protection against common munitions: apfsds. Sure, the heli atgm’s and spikes would be neutralized but those aren’t common

Wouldn’t be surprised. Still, also, would love the actual T-72B3A (the one with Relikt ERA in hull), preferably as a module

Also airborn ordinance. Although those more angle sensitive - Arena-M’s +100 degree should cover this nicely
Edit: Whoops, correction, vertical is -20/+40

So, it can counter mavericks, brimstones and hammers?

Also what was the horizontal coverage of the aps?

It should I think. At least per game logic if speed allows. At very least I know GL6 (the APS of VT-5) can intercept Kh-38 (I know it anecdotal, but I did survive the few times those things were raining)

Full 360 in 4 sectors with 3 uses per sector
Edit: just adding the picture from dev-stream

Ah, I meant vertical coverage sorry

-10/+40

Yeah, my mistake, mixed horizontal with vertical. Still, +40 is pretty nice (for comparison: GL6 is -10/+50 and Iron Fist is -15/+55)

Not bad aps tbh, compared to trophy this has 6 more charges with better reaction speed and vertical traverse
