You can use the HE shell without time fuze. Just lase it, wait for the ballistic correction to be set and then switch shells to and back. Then fire. Only thing to do is to press 2 different numbers before firing, then it is a normal russian HE bomb and very good. NATO roofs really love it.

US Mains trying to explain how a TUSK package will make the Abrams more competitive It wont, it adds ERA to the sides of the tank that is only meant to protect against shoulder launched RPGs, have poor coverage in a Tank Vs Tank engagement, and adds weight.
@@hex6970 Fr, At least from my knowledge SEP wont really make the abrams more competitive in warthunder it just improves thermals etc. Nato ERA isnt maid for kinetic rounds like Russian era so even if nato tanks got it, it wouldnt do anything
It should have been an optional sub tank to the T-80U. The T-80UD would be a good add to the game. Less mobility with a diesel engine but turret cheeks are even better and still have the Kontact-5
There are a shit ton of possible addition of Russian MBT's alone, not only that you have a shit ton of prototypes and stuff like the Belarusian T-72 B3 with relikt, yugo M84'S
T-80UK is quite a upgrade. Shtoras IR jammers might be useless but the LWS is part of the system too and very helpful at toptier. 6 smoke drops instead of 4 did help too. The time fuzed Ainet shell isn't needed but can be used like a regular russian 125 mm HE nuke. I have a fully spaded russian top tier lineup and probably would use this instead of T-72B3M when I have researched it in a few months. Using it only in CQB makes the grind less annoying. Then I have 3 modern T-80s and thus no MBT with the lackluster 7.1 sec reload. I would like to see them fix the Sprut SDM1s targeting speeds and the T-80UKs thermal generation (Agava-2 had double the identification range) or atleast lower the quality of T-80U and T-80B to a new category of 0.5 generation because it can't be compared to T-80UKs or Leo 2A4s thermals.

He talks about the programable HE being a gimmick that cant be used against anyone and that heli will be moving around too much for it to be ever useful then at 9:45 the exact use for that shell is just staring him in the face as he misses shots on it.
I really wish that the Shtora system wasn't just a dumb gimmick because if it actually worked as intended then this T-80U would have something special going on but its most useful feature is the laser warning system, that's it, you spend a shitload of money or a lot of time to grind just to have a T-80 with a lasern warning system. 🤣🤣 Someone actually suggested that this could be a researchable modification which let's be real sounds great but the snail wouldn't be able to monetize that so obviously they bring this out.
Nice, a 7th Top tier MBT for Russia! And its literally identical to the tech tree one! Just like their new SU-25K, a copy paste of something you can get for free. Truly a wonderful dev team.
better coverage of ERA on front of the turret (breach area) 30 rounds in total instead of 45 like t80u a *cover* over the thing on the back of the turret and pretty much thats all
People say that this tank will make the russian top tier win rate drop by a lot, but i just dont see it. Same thing with the Abrams AIM, there wasnt much of a drop. I hope in the future some other minor nations could get some cool tanks. Right now china around 8.3 has better stuff than america lmao

The T-80UK is literally just a better T-80U. You would expect that there would at least be some draw backs considering their same BR (though I admit comparing BR ratings after 10.0 is sort of redundant), like at least the AIM and the Leo PL are sort of "unique".

Hope you’ve found out, but squadron vehicles are similar to tech tree vehicles, no SL or RP bonuses, and you need to grind it to stock, so nothing like premium, you’re just paying 7800 for a tech tree vehicle basically, best way is to just grind a tech tree in an active auto accept clan and you should get it after a while
To give players another vehicle to their lineup, all you guys say that Russian tanks are bad so theres no problem with the Russians having 6 MBT's in their lineup, cope harder.
imagine adding new vehicles that aren't needed to tech trees that already have plenty of vehicles and just ignoring like the other 4 nations that have far less vehicles. Oh wait, don't need to imagine it. They just keep adding more fucking USSR and german vehicles. Israel, Sweden, Italy, Japan, all of them have fairly large holes in their tech trees but gayjin would prefer to add another copy pasted USSR tank.

Boom! Right in the kisser
why did they add this? -> M1A1 AIM
