fun fact, the t80uk is the command variant of the t80u, u can see it has 2 antennas instead of one because of its radio layout also, it has a -6 degree gun depression because the turret ring is mounted in a -1 degree position, which also makes its gun elevation +14 instead of +15 degrees
@Number7Red Sure, which makes sense. OP just said squadron vehicles and not anything about prems so I was wondering if there was a squadron MiG I hadnt heard about.
Which would you recommend me getting first: the BMP-2M or the T-80UK? I currently have about 40k squadron points on the BMP and I’m thinking about getting it first. But I always feel somewhat disappointed in its performance in test drives. It seems that the only way to deal actual damage is with the ATGMs but you only get a limited number of them. Every video I’ve seen of it just shreds everything it comes across and it’s been ranked as the most overpowered vehicle in the game, but at the same time it’s performance with the autocannon against the Leopards the test drive gives you is always so lackluster. I just recently dropped sixty dollars into the game to buy the SU-25K and even that isn’t what I expected it to be. It’s way too slow for my tastes even if it has great armor and a great assortment of weaponry.
I can agree there. T-80UK is a good tank. It’s armor is impressive for a tank at its BR until it gets up-tier and dies. And at 11.3 it is a monster among MBTs and have a play style of both a normal T-80U and T-90A. Because it’s quick in reverse and can be played both offensively and defensively But most importantly… it has the red eyes of doom.
this tank is a total beast, fast and durable. If you are not mindlessly rushing and play smart, you can do a lot of damage. I have games where 3 or 4 guys are shooting at me at t he same time and cant kill me while my teammates are picking them out.
I would love a challenger series as a squad vehicle challenger 2 a1 the brits need an upgrade or a modern centurion with era or vickers mk6 tank or even a malkara atgm carrier or perhaps a land rover with tow atgm, recoiless gun
Not bad tank, but happend several time that getting shot full front at the fender with dart, projectile not even enter the tank and crew knocked out. And of course if the enemy shot first, your breach is gone all the time, so armor irrevelant in this game :D
The T-80UK seems great, however, I would strongly argue that the free aus abrams is def the best squadron tank, as it offers gen 2 thermals while not sacrificing much in terms of lethality while compared to the HC, and its protection is also extremely good against anything short of a kornet, some even argue it is the best abrams, while the T-80UK is already quite great, I dont see a point where it made a significant enough difference with other tanks of the Russian federation(USSR top tier)
@@thenoobgamer95 Its more the shape of the turret and how there's a load of things strapped to it on all sides, makes it look like someone is actually using the tank, abrams just looks boring

Hey Tankenstein, new BR changes are underway! I'd like you to give your thoughts on it. The TV which is essentially a Panther A is going to 6.0 BR in RB while its German equivalent remains at 5.7.
it cuz gayjob is balancing vehicles based on their performance not their actual capabilities.

There is perfect example - btr-zd at 5.3 and its chinese copy at 4.3 meanwhile chinese is even better since it has armour to protect the crew against 7.62 mm at least while soviet one can be MGed to death by anything

Russia has good squadron vehicles imo. You can take out a lineup with the BMP2M, T80UK and the MiG without even playing the nation.

Why do gen 1 termals look so good in your videos but in my game they look so bad.(1440p)

question can you combine with bmp2M or not?
Another thing nowadays is the Russian survivability of their MBTs everytime you get hit in a fuel tank you immediately die
in my opinion, squadron vehicles are pointless if you don't have a complete line up beside them, they are terrible for grinding.
Can you make video T-80UM2
is there a range finder on this t80?????
