The T-80UM2 IRL has Gen 3.0 thermals so when you gonna add it’s thermals gaijin???
There’s another tank based on Object 640 “Black Eagle” that was mistakenly called T-80UM2 by western observers. The article is about that tank

The T-80’s all had thermals
All of the info on the tanks is public about the modules and such
The UM2 in-game never had thermals IRL.
All photographed examples only had normal NVDs.
@Imaflyingturkey
T-80U’s thermals are 100% accurate.
And T-80B was given drop-in thermals in real life, and in-game.

Bro it’s documented it has them I legit have proof lmfao
Proof has not been posted on this thread, and if you did have proof it would be a bug report on the bug report site, and not a rant here.

This wasn’t for players anyways it was for the devs so but out
Also look at the very first post I put on the document right there. It says it has thermals so you’re arguing over stupid shit.
The first post isn’t a document, that’s a 3rd party website making a claim, potentially about a different tank.

There are 2 entirely different tanks called UM2 IRL by media.
And it’s typically not the one that’s in War Thunder.

If it’s not called you and to think I should needs to fix the name and lower the BR I’m sorry but a tank at 11.0 that has no thermals is absurd.
The in-game name is correct, and the BR is correct for its capabilities.
It’s still a T-80U, just without the thermals.

Exactly if it has no thermals, it shouldn’t be at a BR where thermals are needed
Thermals are not needed outside forests & looking into forests.
That’s really it.
LRF is more important than thermals.

It seems you get that page from this website. However, that isn’t the legit T-80UM2 in War Thunder. At the start of its page it metion about ‘black eagle’. And ‘black eagle’ is this
Object 640 Black Eagle. It was a privately-funded product of Omsktransmash, which means Russian goverment didn’t pay big attention to it and didn’t give it army designation code. The reason why it called ‘T-80UM2’ is because western medias confuses its name due to their short information about russian tank development at that time(remember it’s late 1990s to 2000s, when Internet is not common as now)
On the other hand, what we have in game is this. Definitely not an ‘Black Eagle’, but an vehicle modified by Russian army and tested for Drozd. This thing doesn’t have thermal, as at that time Thermal Vision is not a common thing for Russian army. At the time of T-90A Russian army become familiar with thermal vision.
