T-80B is genuinely unplayable at 10.7

don’t believe me? check the protection analysis it can shoot through the side of the armor

you NATO mains think everything you have is garbage but in reality yall just have the awareness of a soup can and don’t know where to shoot when you see a tank then you go RuSSiAn BiAs

LMAOOO
You want to be immune from shots at your side?
If your side is exposed its your fault.
Not NATO OP, PLZ NERF.

Yeah thats true for russians actually.
Thats why u need thw whole hull to be in the green to score a hit.
We know to shoot at ur lfp, or ur drivers optics or just below the side era with low pen guns.
T-series are great all rounders…
Except if you try to crest a hill lmao.
Which is. Again. Your own fault.

Show.
With DM23-105

Also quit the ad hominem.

tf you mean show go to the hanger select t80b pick the dm23 and show the protection map of the t80bs ufp

if so why do german mains shoot at the most armored part of my ufp when peaking
that is true for most NATO mains thats why then need a kpz-70 to fight slow t72s
we also know that most of ur turret cheeks are easy weakspots
leos are great for sniping
except when you try to blindly rush to the nearest cap point




This is with the ERA taken off as well.

While the T80B does not have the greatest armor. You make it sound like it’s T64A levels of bad.
The T80B honestly play alot more like 2A4 and Abrams then you’d think. There are obviously differences. But it’s close enough similiar experience.

wait how did you send those pictures i just joined the fourms

You can put screenshots etc into the “comment” box you write in. Either by draggin the icon of the screenshot (from a folder for example) Or by right clicking on the picture, selecting “copy” and then pressing CTRL+V while having the “comment” box clicked on. CTRL + V also works for screenshots that are currently saved in clipboard.

atleast gaijin could change it to the T-80BV so it gets the better hull armor composites (same as on the T-80BVM)

Im not a german main (wrt the usuall connotations) and neither am i a representative of them.
I speak for myself currently.
And i told you where i shoot.

The kpz has no armour, the atgm has a 19s reload and sucks in penetration. The apfsds also sucks despite being a 152mm shell.

As well as the entire hull.

i wouldn’t want to fight a kpz with good armor and amazing mobility i think the armor mobility trade of is good for its br of 9.3s where most tanks have average speed

i beg to differ you are making it seem like the entirety of all NATO tanks are slow poorly armed and very weak leopard1s do have poor armor because they are sniping tanks they are built for long distance engagements same goes for the kpz these tanks can crest on hills and snipe enemies at cap point something russian tanks cant they have to stay low since they are built for flat grounds with little hills but the thing is that there are almost no maps like that best map for these tanks i can think for these tanks are sinai and many NATO tanks are well armored with great turret control something soviet tanks don’t even have such as the leopard 2s in conclusion NATO tanks have great armor (most of the time) decent armament amazing gun handling and mobility while the only thing soviet tanks have going for them is their gun armor and sometimes mobility like the t80b but things like gun handling are very important when the only thing you can do is flank under a tree line the turret traverse on soviet tanks has gotten me killed many times just because i cant turn my turret up or to the side fast enough

Dw, the speed and ridge fighting capavility is mostly all u gotta worry about for the kpz

Uhh i only mentioned leos lol.
Aside from the strv 122 and the 2a7s all leos have bad hull armour and good turret armour.
Theyre no better overall than the T series of their comparable BRs.
If you wanna see weak tanks look at the ariete and sometimes the leKEKs.

Honestly the only t series i have is the GDR t72m1 and i friggin love that thing.
Its a pleasure to play and literally like ur on easy mode.
Maybe its because the overall playstyle is more CHARGE AHEAD TROOPS! Or COD style but the gun is amazing (i could ask for more vert speed and non stab horizontal traverse but thats it.)
Also most t series have good mobility as well.

Oh and i have the t80UD but i havent played that much.

10.7 got murdered by the MM, if there is any russian bias it’s having a 10.3 premium lineup. A lot more 11.x premiums floating around now.

Russian tanks do not play like leopards or abrams at all. If I could take off all the ERA to double my reverse and speed and gun depression/handling I would.

You are correct. However that goes for any nation. And i can tell you it’s much easier to fight 2A5/2A6/PSOs and Abramses in a T80B then fighting T80Us and 72B3s in 2A4s and 105 M1s.

Simply because the 3BM42 can still punch through the UFP of a 2A5/6/PSO and abramses at most engagment distances. While M774 and DM23 will strugle against some better armored tanks at their own BR (292, Moderna, T72B [1989] and T90A). Thankfully the weakspots remain the same. But those weakspots are not allways easy to hit.

I didnt say russian tanks. I said T80B does. Has about as weak hull as M1 and 2A4 does. Has better turret armor then 2A4 and 105 M1 does. Is about as fast forward. Is slower in reverse yes and has worse turret traverse and depression. But in return it get’s an autoloader and a shell that has same issues penning 10.7 tanks as it does penning 11.7 tanks.

That’s why i said they play alot more like 2A4 and Abramses then you’d think. Didn’t say they play exactly the same. And i was only talking about the T80B. It’s why i specified the T80B.


I’m sorry but if you have problem penning XYZ-70s that’s on you.

Funnily enough. I hear the opposite complaint from nato mains most of the time. About how gaijin is dumbing down maps and making them about as flat as they can.

It is bias and overperforming lol its the number 1 played nation because its bias as hell. If you suck with Russian vehicles you suck at the game 😂

oh i was refering to the other guy in which a hypothetical senario where the kpz had good armour im not saying it does

Overperforming, I don’t think so, if you’re so sure about that maybe the problem is you. But regarding myself, I may not play Soviet and Russian vehicles as people think they should play, I don’t do overwhelming gameplay, only one vehicle per match.

And to be honest, on you, you particularly isn’t doing great either, first of all you have no experience with Soviet vehicles besides some planes and the Ka-50, your highest battle rating tank is the M1A2 Abrams followed by a few vehicles and even with all this “Haha you suck!” your kill/death ration also doesn’t help your situation neither.

If your main and sole goal in the Forums is just making fun of others and yelling “But this is messed up, because of Russian bias.” or some bull shit like that, put your brain to work and have some value before throwing crap at others like a ape, because this is your profile in the Forums in a nutshell.

And I ask you, if you’re even capable to reply, if Soviet and Russian vehicles are so bad why do you say they overperform? I think the only one here at the moment being positive of a Russian bias is you and only you, furthermore I won’t be replying any of your response to this comment of mine, because I’m expecting you won’t discuss like a normal human being.

While OPs point is absolutely indefensible there isint a hope in hell that RU vehicles have a bias towards em. Tanks are mid, not OP not unusable as a whole just center of the pack. Germany/Sweden hold that trophy. Light/Support Vics Id say america edge out in over all, SPAA till this incoming patch RU held the top spot my money is pantsir staying top 3 in the hands of a skilled player but where I couldnt say.

Air has always been america dominated since we got past the F-4E/Mig-21Bis phase with the occasional couple of patches where some one would eclipse them but it would then return to form fairly quick.

For helicopters USSR have the best airframes but a tier 2 armament (FnF armaments are just that good for helis).

Coastal is where russia excels and thats in spite of gaijins mishandling of things like torpedo loadouts and AA defences on the modern boats.

Blue water has always been a toss up between Japan, Germany and Britain for the most part, with the odd patch cycle or two where things deviate from that.

If we wanted to go a step further because I know someone will wheel out the KH-38 or try to point to Vikhrs in 2025 for the entire lifetime of guided ordinance been in the game NATO and specifically America have had it the best for longest. Outside of now in the post KH-38 era and the addition of the Mig-27K (Which finally brought an amount of parity only to be eclipsed the F-16A’s that would come about a year later) Its been Nato sided. Bullpups had no equal on REDFOR for nearly 3 years and dont get me started on TGPs (while slim there were options like Khod on Su-25TM/39 or the current T-220 pod on the 29SMT).

In conclusion take your accusations of bias elsewhere, it aint productive and is categorically false.
