would be closer to a bvm with T-80U protection. Before decompress to 12.0, I’d say it belongs to 11.7, unless you limit it with 3bm42.
T-80U is at 11.3 with 3BM46, it won’t be limited to 3BM42.
yeah, but this is the only way I know can make it in 11.3.
It’s capable of the 3BM60, its autoloader mod and new gun were designed to allow modern ammo. We’ll see where they place it, maybe 11.7.
It must be, and better with decompress, making bvm, 122, a7v to 12.0

It would make sense, I mean 11.3 and 11.7 with an overall BR shift to 12.0 is fair.
Yes, Gaijin should decompress max Ground BR to 12.0, making T-80UE1 sit at 11.7
I don’t want T-80UE1 added with gimped spec only 3BM42/3BM46 just for the sake to put it 11.3

This refers to the 80bv that has the same basic armor as the 80u in reality or the stitched monster 80bv in the game？
80u, and it upgraded engine, so. you can say they are same thing in game

Its so over.
I’m really surprised they put this premium, it would’ve made really good sense as a cap vehicle for the T-80U. Maybe its a secret different T-80UE-1 than the one mentioned here. (I hope it is, this should be TT, esp if it gets thermals and 3BM60)

I think that a good move since they satified all Gaijin standards:
- Copy and paste model: Literally just T-80UD turret with T-80BVM naked hull slap together with FCS of T-80BVM.
- Not so different and unique charitics and not worth an upgrade from a TT progression since it’s just a “better gun handeling” T-80B and offer nothing unique in the pure “look of a tank”.

i think it still isn’t finished and is using many assets from the T-80-Ud so it should get its thermals in the live

I mean yes, I agree with you, but still the T-80U(D) turret is better than the BVM turret (from memory, irl at least), which is why I think it would good for a tech tree tank. It’s about the same level as the BVM but maybe slightly better due to the better armor of the T-80U turret, but still retains all the functionality of the BVM.
In that sense I would more consider it as a better T-80U than an improved T-80B

They copied T-80UD to create this model and entirely ignored actual specifics of the vehicle.
Not only it should have entirely different engine dwck but the front armour is wrong, no 3BM60, as well as missing 40° horizontal targetting speed, although that one might be not true IRL, has completely wrong “night optic”/should have Plisa 2nd generation thermal.

Almost like it had placeholder stats while the proper UE-1 stats were still being worked on…

it’s still missing 3BM60 iirc.
Gaijin want it at 11.3. It’ll likely be limited to 3BM46 to make sure it stays at that BR.
Not likely to get it as an 11.3 premium.
Would have been nice to have had the T-80UE-1 in the tree instead, but whatever.
Guess there’s still some small hope for the T-80UA in the tree instead in the future.
