The Russian T-80U is placed at a battle rating of 11.7 while the swedish version is placed at 11.3,
The reason for this is because it doesnt have the NVD upgrade and the 3BM46 (which has 532mm penetration) now, i think that it should be moved to 10.7 or 10.3 because (ill take the T-72B for an example) it has the same round with 457mm pen, doesnt have NVD, quite similar armor and is placed at a BR of 10.3. 10.7 would be the perfect br for the Swedish T-80U.
Sweden does not have any 11.0-11.7 tanks so its very difficult to have a good lineup of tanks where one of them is 11.7, so there are two options,
Move the Swedish T-80U to 10.7 or
Add more modern swedish tanks to the game (at 11.7)
What in the actual cope, I’ll not have you slander the T80 U it’s excellent and imo my more pulled vehicle at 12.7 over the last 2 years, not that I play top tier that much but I just like it’s mobility over the Leos
UD lacks one 15mm layer on its UFP which matters when engaging tanks like Sabra (as ive been told) and UD also has different engine and transmission leading to worse mobility and lacks thermals.
I read very well. That sentence i quoted refers back to the T-80U as you never mention the T-72 at the start. You cannot refer to something you have yet to mention.
One of a kind comparing T-80U to a T-72B calling it fair comparison and reasoning to move a T-80U to battle rating 10.7. The only thing that justify this battle rating difference between the swedish T-80 U to the russian T-80U is the lack of 3BM46 which is more than fair, 3BM42 is very reliable despite the armor penetration values. T-80UD and T-80UD/BE is at lower battle rating due having worse mobility.
