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.
Thermals also help in really open and long range maps it makes it to where you can distinct tanks from buildings and at top tier you have a lot of matches in super open and long range maps they are more important than you think
Yeah uh the T-80UM-1/2 series of tech demos or whatever people want to call them never were fitted with thermals since there wasn’t really a point at the time to fit an expensive thermal optic (which wouldn’t have been a 3rd gen thermal sight either) to something that would just be shown off in some expo and that’s it
It’s really not though think about it almost every tank you come across at 11.0 has thermals whether it be generation one through three thermals, I mean hell even de martyr 183 has thermals and that’s at 8.3
How is this the meaning of copium? it’s really just a dude mixing up information due a bad source?
Sure their opinion on it going down in br is uh, certainly something but again, there is muuuuuuch better threads when it comes to the defintion of copium
yeah but the fact he keeps trying to argue and then when he finally accepts he is wrong he suggests that it get downtiered by a bit but currently its balanced where it sits.
It needs to be fixed top-tier needs to be balanced not fucking you know Wolfpack running around the back of a map getting behind a literally the entire enemy team and being able to one tap them because they have the M 900 round which allows them to literally one tab everything because it has 600 mils of pen at 10.3 might I add
Doesn’t matter gaijin need to rework the whole game or do something to balance it because if they don’t they can say bye to the 1.5k I put into the game
3rd Gen TV? If only russia was capable of producing such technology or even buying it and using it on a old tank rather than newer ones.
Do you see the IR light on the left from the gun? There wouldn’t be need for it if it had any sort of TV.
The only source is that text of yours from god knows what site which also does not tell us what generation TV it >>had<<.
