| 5s | tanks of the t80 series are probably the |
|---|---|
| 7s | most versatile Vehicles available to |
| 9s | tankers at the highest ranks of the |
| 10s | Soviet Tech Tree these mbts have good |
| 13s | Firepower good armor and good Mobility |
| 16s | all at the same time which isn't typical |
| 19s | for Soviet mbts to put it mildly today |
| 22s | we're going to discuss the vehicles of |
| 23s | the series and the ways you can use them |
| 25s | to unlock their full |
| 29s | potential the first researchable tank of |
| 32s | the series is waiting for you at rank |
| 33s | seven the |
| 35s | t80b it has the signature low profile |
| 38s | which is common for Soviet tanks of the |
| 40s | era a well-designed turret and an |
| 42s | autoloader the main difference between |
| 44s | the t80b and the other members of the |
| 47s | t80 family is that it's noticeably |
| 49s | lacking in the armor Department the 1978 |
| 52s | version of the tank simply can't take |
| 53s | much punishment despite featuring |
| 55s | multi-layer armor it retains the common |
| 57s | weak spots found on Soviet Vehicles like |
| 59s | the driers port and the lower frontal |
| 61s | plate but the upper glacis isn't well |
| 63s | protected either it can stop early 105 |
| 66s | mm subcaliber rounds but 120 mm and more |
| 70s | advanced 105 mm APF SDS rounds can |
| 74s | easily pierce it to increase the |
| 76s | survivability of the vehicle at close |
| 78s | range angle the ufp as much as you can |
| 81s | in all other scenarios the tank is best |
| 83s | used in Hull down positions where only |
| 86s | the turret is |
| 89s | exposed |
| 91s | the 3bm 42 mango apfsds round is pretty |
| 95s | effective against any opponent but it's |
| 97s | still a good idea to aim for weak spots |
| 99s | specifically like the shot trap under |
| 102s | the gun of the Abrams or the lfp of the |
| 104s | leopard 2 keep in mind that the Soviet |
| 107s | autoloader is a bit slower than its |
| 108s | Western counterparts so make every shot |
| 111s | count and it's always a safe bet to |
| 113s | destroy the breach first when fighting |
| 114s | against a solo |
| 118s | Target compared to other Soviet Chinese |
| 121s | and British mbts the tanks of the t80 |
| 123s | series are pretty fast and maneuverable |
| 126s | the gas turbine of the tank allows it to |
| 128s | reach 70 km an hour in forward gear and |
| 131s | up to 10 km an hour in Reverse that's |
| 133s | enough speed to be among the first to |
| 135s | arrive at good firing positions at the |
| 137s | very start of the match some of those |
| 139s | are going to be even more advantageous |
| 141s | to you than to people using Western |
| 143s | tanks one good example is the monument |
| 145s | in the center of the town in |
| 149s | Normandy you can play the t80 in |
| 152s | different ways according to your |
| 153s | preferences it's well suited for quick |
| 155s | aggressive play but it's also a decent |
| 158s | sniper regardless of that you still have |
| 160s | to take into account the traits and |
| 162s | quirks of the vehicle for instance |
| 164s | because of its layout with the turret |
| 166s | placed in the center of the hull the |
| 168s | tank can be at a disadvantage in urban |
| 170s | environments one of the ways to mitigate |
| 172s | that is to be proactive to immediately |
| 175s | get out of cover and destroy the enemy's |
| 177s | gun before they can hurt you being on |
| 179s | the move is actually one of the best |
| 181s | ways to survive it's pretty hard to hit |
| 183s | weak spots on a pretty small |
| 185s | well-protected tank that comes at you at |
| 187s | full |
| 190s | speed another weakness of the vehicle is |
| 192s | that the aiming speed of its gun is |
| 194s | rather slow and the gun doesn't have a |
| 196s | lot of depression to work with because |
| 198s | of that it's a good idea to avoid steep |
| 201s | slopes and stick to smaller terrain |
| 203s | features that can be used to hide your |
| 204s | Hull the t80 thrives in areas that are |
| 207s | on relatively level terrain and offer |
| 209s | Lots of cover options like the southern |
| 212s | part of the village on hutkin Forest |
| 214s | don't worry about losing sight of your |
| 215s | enemies as the tank is fitted with an |
| 217s | experimental agava thermal imaging site |
| 220s | it's very handy for sniping but it's |
| 222s | also pretty useful up close just deploy |
| 225s | a smoke screen back up a bit and then |
| 227s | simply look for targets through the |
| 229s | cloud if you're in a hilly area and have |
| 231s | no option but to engage someone you can |
| 233s | still hit them with a well-timed |
| 235s | suspension shot get in position wait for |
| 238s | your gun to dip below the regular level |
| 241s | fire and then go back to |
| 249s | cover the Soviet and the Swedish t80u |
| 253s | the commander version known as the t80 |
| 255s | UK the experimental |
| 258s | t802 and the Russian t80 BVM play pretty |
| 262s | much the same way as the bass model it's |
| 264s | true that late vehicles of the series |
| 266s | received a more powerful engine but they |
| 268s | also became considerably heavy heavier |
| 270s | late t8s have thicker composite armor on |
| 273s | their ufps and the contact 5 ER on the |
| 277s | t80u and The Relic on the t80 BVM are |
| 281s | pretty effective against both heat and |
| 283s | subcaliber projectiles basically the |
| 286s | only flaw that newer models inherited |
| 288s | from the t80b is the gun's aiming speed |
| 291s | to put it bluntly all variants of the |
| 293s | t80u have a slower vertical and |
| 295s | horizontal aiming speed than any other |
| 298s | high tier MBT the good news is that you |
| 300s | can mitigate some of that by turning |
| 302s | your |
| 305s | Hull the premium t80 UD and the event |
| 309s | t802 are well suited for daylight |
| 312s | engagements at Mid to close range the |
| 314s | t80 ud features a more powerful diesel |
| 317s | engine and a t64 style transmission it |
| 321s | should be played just as any regular |
| 323s | Soviet MBT by making careful use of Hull |
| 326s | down positions the turret of the t802 is |
| 330s | fitted with the dro hard kill APS that |
| 333s | reliably takes care of the tow and |
| 336s | hellfire missiles the losat the adats |
| 339s | and some special projectiles can still |
| 341s | hurt you but in most cases the um2 is |
| 344s | well protected against missile attacks |
| 346s | coming from helicopters drones and pesky |
| 349s | ifvs try to take as much advantage of |
| 352s | the aps as possible Dr launchers have a |
| 355s | lot of ammo and every intercepted |
| 357s | missile is a huge loss for the enemy in |
| 359s | terms of time time and resources sadly |
| 362s | the t80 UK can't do quite the same as |
| 365s | its sta soft kill APS can't really deal |
| 368s | with most high rank missiles but at |
| 370s | least you get an lws that'll warn you |
| 373s | about the danger so there's |
| 377s | that the most advanced vehicle of the |
| 379s | series is the t80 BVM it received new |
| 383s | front side ER packages and better |
| 385s | thermals but most importantly the aiming |
| 388s | speed of its 120 5mm gun was finally |
| 392s | brought on par with the Best Western |
| 394s | mbts it's an almost perfect tank for |
| 396s | high rank aggressive play that doesn't |
| 399s | have most of the flaws commonly |
| 401s | associated with Soviet mbts another |
| 403s | thing is that the t80 BVM can fire the |
| 406s | topnotch 3bm 60 settes APF SDS it's |
| 412s | fairly similar to the mango in terms of |
| 415s | use but deals more damage when hitting |
| 417s | weak |
| 419s | spots |
| 421s | one special case is the experimental |
| 424s | object |
| 425s | 292 it can't deplo smoke screens and is |
| 428s | not equipped with machine guns or ER |
| 431s | what it does have though is a monstrous |
| 434s | large caliber gun the 152 mm LP 83 |
| 438s | Cannon is the most powerful tank gun in |
| 441s | War Thunder if we're talking about sheer |
| 444s | Firepower the only thing that hits |
| 445s | harder is probably just the losat |
| 448s | anti-tank missile system heavy APF SDS |
| 451s | rounds used by the object 292 easily |
| 455s | punch through many mbts including the |
| 457s | modern ones and your H shells are |
| 459s | powerful enough to KO about anyone with |
| 462s | a single shot to the roof this insane |
| 465s | Firepower doesn't mean that you can act |
| 467s | with impunity though the gun takes ages |
| 469s | to reload and aim not to mention that |
| 472s | there's always a tiny chance that the |
| 474s | enemy might survive the hit due to some |
| 476s | sheer |
| 478s | luck tanks of the t80 series are true |
| 481s | Soviet all-rounders that will work well |
| 483s | regardless of your preferred play style |
| 486s | how do you play them share your stories |
