T-72B3, main battle tank, USSR/Russia, VII rank

Pros

Up-to-date sight with thermal imaging


All-sector protection from HEAT rounds


Good mobility

Cons

Slow rear speed


Low vertical aiming angles

A basic modernization of the T-72B tank, issued at the beginning of the 2010’s. The major difference here is a new sight with thermal imaging, which makes night battles much more comfortable; no advantages in mobility and protection though.

In the second half of 2010’s, a new modernization program was initialized, the T-72B3 (2016), often called the T-72B3 UBH (abbreviation in Russian for “improved battle characteristics”). This modification is researchable for the T-72B3 in the game, and it improves the combat potential of the vehicle greatly.

First of all, it features a new powerful 1130 hp engine, a new gun stabilizer, as well as advanced “Relikt” protection with ERA elements. The hull and turret sides are additionally covered with anti-HEAT screens. These improvements bring the old good T-72 to a level with the most advanced MBT’s in War Thunder.
