Let’s be honest, it’s extremely rare to see this tank. Everyone is just going to use the BVM because of its somewhat decent reverse gear and better rate of fire. I have the T-80U in my lineup instead of the T-90M simply because I can’t stand a tank with subpar mobility, worse ROF, and basically no reverse. This makes the tank pure garbage in the current meta.
I seriously don’t see the point of using this tank unless you have a lot of lineup slots and keep it as a last-resort option. Even the lower-tier T-80 variants are better just because they have a better ROF and reverse speed. Everyone has their own opinions, but for me it’s literally the worst 12.7 tank at the moment. And please don’t start talking about armor, it still has the same old typical Russian weak spots. If you want real armor, you go for the Leopard 2A7 or the Strv versions that have better mobility, great reverse speed, a better round, depression and a much better ROF.
Much better survibility, good mobility, insane rof like 5sec, great reserve, great depression for hulldown and dont tell me abrams doesnt have great armor at hulldown.
To be fair the other night i had a panzy leopard 2a7 stay near his spawn and even with gen 3 thermals and scout drone with the same thermals i could not spot him they made me quit that match after dying twice to his useless spot
Mid at best it has massive neck and big breech
Also the 5 sec reload is for ace crew which most ppl doesnt have
it also come at the cost of no survivability idk why u think this tank has somwhat kind of survivability beside the turret armor and ofc if u have 2 crew so ur reload become longer
said the guy who never play abrams
T-90M isnt good but it doesnt mean it has no armor, it clearly has more armor than most
u can tap abrams anywhere except the turret cheek and it would be one shot
the cope on ur side is crazy
Chally was nerfed if you ecpose the whole turret you can with ease go straight through the mantlet under the gun and outright one shot the chally ive fone it many many many times against hulldown challies the gun mantlet under the gun is flat not angled and gaijin forcably made that spot specifically have pretty much non existant armor values
