I bring this to 11.7 often as 3rd spawn or so, 3BM42 is more than strong enough to deal with whatever enemy is spawning in late game. Especially when it’s time for brawling and 2A6 isn’t the greatest at that.

[@jolivera8451]

I remember when A LOT of players asking russian T80U with only 3BM42 moved to 11.0+, but when the same thing happened to sweden, everyone complaints Double standard

[@blobert62]

XM8 will forever be my favorite looking tank. It’s ok with stage 3 armor but the stage 1 looks so clean. Just wish it had a better round than M774. (I’m of the opinion it should definitely have M833 and possibly M900)

[@sharkk127]

[@sre7271]

The swedish T 80 U definitely does not belong at 11.0 I don't get why they moved it up, it doesn't make any sense. They should move it back down, especially since T-90A is still at 10.7 and the slow the reverse isn't a good enough reason why it should be at 10.7 while everything else is a 11.0 considering armor, rounds, and LWS which will save you many times from drones or helis. Definitely agree with your take. Used to really enjoy it at 10.7 but with its unreasonable uptier it makes me want to get a refund for the ge I put in especially since it's the only tank I ever put a talisman even if it could only grind through 2 ranks effectively. Still hoping they bring it back down.

[@texasthib2029]

It should be 11.3

[@Erika_Itsumi_GUP]

The part where justin talk about hitting the Mi-28 at front or back but still gets damage to tail might be due to the fly by wire system the Mi-28 uses, if you damage that it directly effects the tail controls thus damaging tail, well most helis in war thunder are modeled to be fly by wire.

Just a newer comment if anyone is curious this tank is actually very good great fire power great speed terrible reverse speed but I find myself holding W and getting 5 kills almost every life in this tank does just fine at 11.7 and is easily one of my favorite tanks in the game she can also take a lot of hits sometimes

good video. One problem you say it cannot brawl at this BR for all the wrong reasons. Might I remind you every NATO tank except the leo's are a glass cannon. Like Abrams is sherman of top tier. So, regardless of which BR Russian tanks are in they can easily get 4 to 5 kills before a death. A Russian bias user's rushed shot can kill a NATO player, whilst vice versa cannot.

[@ICECAPPEDSKY]

Getting 105mm rounds to ammorack a T72 or T80 is about as likely as getting struck by lightning.

[@putinpidarasova9576]

The sabot round for the T80 U is pretty bad for 11.0 in my opinion, also the bad reverse speed and turret turn rate really puts this tank at a disadvantage.

[@metalfight1234]

Agreed. No way this thing is an 11.3 when the real T80U is 11.3, M1A1 HC/AIM is 11.3, Leo2PL is 11.3. Unless they decompress top tier to 12.0 then this is a fine BR

[@Kwisss]

Its fine for me, half the time its about aim not really penetration. It just plays like a T-80U without the 3BM46 round so i do well in it just fine at 11.7.

[@VanillaVulporca]

Hey Justin do you like suffering in GRB. Well boy do i have the tank for you. The amx-30 ACRA has 0 speed gun launched atgms the only thing it carrys aprt from HE that does no damage.

28nm flies better, has slightly less armament, though the K150 flies like a brick, it survives more hits and is a bit more capable. Comes down to preference actually

Totally no bias comrades, just keep winning 😂😂 (I pray one day they fix the Soviets in this game), now the Soviets know how it feels to use M774 at 10.3 with 370 pen 😂

[@ICECAPPEDSKY]

The Israelis and Americans had the same low pen sabot round issue from 9.0 to 10.3. Until the Israelis actually got a new round and broke free from the shit sabot shackles for their merkavas and I kid you not at 9.3 got the 105mm M413 round with 408mm flat pen. Which makes a massive difference for their vehicles. The US Abrams tanks just get stomped still because in order for you to be effective with the Abrams against the T72 especially at 10.3 matchmaking you have to have incredible aim and reflexes because not only does M774 not have great pen but also doesn’t spall well even against nato tanks. Against Russian tanks it’s a joke. A majority of the time a perfect lower plate shot against a T72 or T80 will just kill the driver and knock out the engine. Or set the fuel tanks on fire. It is soo incredibly hard to ammo rack Russian tanks with 105mm to begin with let alone M774. I mean 120mm rounds with any pen still almost never ammorack russian tanks so idk

[@LewisB3217]

@@ICECAPPEDSKY yup, despite that, somehow, the abrams is one of my highest RP grinders rn, and the soviet ammo now blowing up is super annoying, especially when you hit their gunner / ammo, then their commander takes over (sorry abrams can’t do that yet) and they 1 shot you, can’t tell you how many times that has happened to me 🤣

I'm a Swedish main and only use this in my 11.7 line up, it has the best mobility and speed of the top tier tree and is perfect as first spawn. The armor holds its own so at 11.0 it is fine. Edit: you fight mainly Russia and China so killing those tanks is easy with only 3 crew.

After this last update Russian tanks a fucking invincible now, tanking several rounds of dm53.........they need to add a auto loader damage already

Gaijin purposely made Russian ammo harder to detonate and turned off internal spalling. This was datamined a long time ago. Which is funny since Russia already had the most broken top tier armor profiles to begin with alongside ERA that eats whole rounds. Literally the only thing nato tanks have is a better reverse gear and moderate forward speed advantage. Also most Russian tanks have better optics than the nato tanks
