Why is T-72A still 9.3?

This tanks is like a 39 year old kid that still lives at home and refuses to grow up 😂

It needs to be 9.7 all day

Meanwhile T-64B is now up to 10.3
T-55’s are 9.0

Make it make sense…

Half of 9.3s would need to be moved up though.

Say that to the Turm III that decides to abuse senior tanks.

I can’t think of any 9.3 as strong though, some might have comparable firepower but nowhere near the armor, especially for 8.3 tanks to be fighting

ZTZ96, OF-40 MTCA, AMX-30 Super, Kpz-70, Gal Batash.

Literally none of those are as strong as the T-72 lol

Nah push the bias envelope as far as it will go and move it to 3.7

Kpz-70 has an apfsds round that’s half the pen T-72A has. I don’t think mobility alone is a reason to push it 9.7 when it even has less armor than the T-72A.

Yes they are.

It also has much better mobility, gun handling and reload speed.

You act like the T-72 has bad mobility and gun handling, it will 1 tap a kpz and any other tank you mentioned anywhere it aims, good luck doing that to the T-72, especially with the kpz

The kpz has 14x gunner sight magnification, you can choose to camp at the corner of a map and there is nothing the t-72 with 8x gonna do anything to you bro

Welcome to russia Thunder.

In all seriousness, all the old 9.3s need to be moved up as part of some major decompression

Any tank camping a corner is gonna have an advantage. The kpz70 has to hit the LFP, driver port, or side of the T-72 to kill it while the t-72 can pen the kpz70 anywhere. I even kiled a kpz70 with one 35 mm APDS shell. t72 hull down in a corner is insane cause it doesn’t have to aim for a specific area of a tank with its great apfsds shell. Turret armor is also strong enough to block most apfsds shells at that br.

It’s definitely a disadvantage when compared to tanks mentioned. You choosing to ignore it is your own problem.

literally most of them are. T-72A might not be worst 9.3 only because there are leopard 1a5 and amx-32

you shoot, you cant move to cover, you get your gun shoot out and then MBT-70 with 80km/h isnt that harmful anymore
