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.
Yeah, that would practically be this, but it’s T-80U and not T-80UD with uparmoured T-80BV hull (no impact in the game).
IRL T-80UA had the best 1G46 sight ever being the 1G46-2M. Although I doubt thats gonna be anything to the game.
It will practically be this T-80UE-1 in game, but without thermals (IIRC it never recieved one) and with 3BM60.
Even though DM53 fired from L55 penetrates hull and lack of thermals I believe its worth of 11.7 vehicle.
Upgraded T-80U (Cyprus) since 2005 … In 2009, Cyprus bought another 41 tanks based on the T-80U, but the name of the modification is not known for sure, sometimes the name T-80UA is found …
In general, there is a Cypriot website…

As a variant.
Has this variant ever existed in metal?
Then Cyprus T-80UA in USSR TT or just Russian variant if there’s one with Plisa would be great.
Upgraded T-80BA tanks(Object 219RB),T-80UA (Object 219AM-1) and T-80UE1 (Object 219AS-1) were accepted for supply by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 435F dated 04/16/2005, and by Order of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation No. 043 dated 05/27/2005 and into service…
However, due to the changed policy towards the preservation of T-80 series tanks, mass serial modernization of vehicles according to these options was practically not carried out…

About Cyprus -in most sources, tanks of the first delivery (41 units-1996) and the second delivery (41 units-2009) are designated as T-80U/UK…the composition of the modernization of the first batch (2005), except for the thermal imager, is not exactly known, but 3BM60/3BM59 were not supplied to Cyprus for sure…also, I do not think that they installed the Ainet system and changed the gun…
- Therefore, the Cypriot first batch is the T-80U with a thermal imager of the Plisa…
- Practically nothing is known about the configuration of the tanks of the second batch, but what exactly is the 3BM60 projectile offered for export in 2021…
- Russian experienced T-80UA are available with both a Plisa and a Buran-M.
- About the Cypriot second party, of course, the help of the Cypriots
is needed … P.S…so we can offer Developers-T-80UA from Plisa and T-80U (Cyprus) from Plisa…

If there was one to have it installed, sure.
That would mean no Cyprus would be needed.
So in other words they are not T-80UA exactly and probably are not close by configuration.
Although it’s more 40° horizontal stabiliser I care about rather than thermal.
