The lfp of Abrams is a no-go for me, why? because the 3BM42 will more likely be taking out the driver only which allowing the Abrams to return fire, I would always go for the turret ring area which is a reliable weakspot, the turret ring area doesn’t seem any bigger than T-80B lower plate if you take the zoom level of both tanks into account, the lfp of rusky is a kill shot in 7/10 times based on my experience, also you only has to kill two crews which always the case should a shot goes through the hull section.
And zoom doesn’t mean that there’s a bigger weakspot. Sure, the weakspot may look bigger, but it doesn’t mean it is bigger.
In that case, you could argue that bigger magnification also means bigger strongspots as well… which clearly isn’t correct.
From what i heard some prototypes of the T80B had thermals, so in theory it did actually have thermal imagers, allbeit not something fancy, so gen 1 is pretty accurate
It was a serial T-80B that was used as a test bed for Agava 1st generation thermal. KMZ (developer of it) mentions some T-72 also carrying it
As i understand it might be not the only one to carry it.
