Т-80: The Soviet All-Rounder

Tanks of the T-80 series are probably the most versatile vehicles available to tankers at the highest ranks of the Soviet tech tree. These MBTs have good firepower, good armor and good mobility all at the same time, which is not typical for Soviet MBTs, to put it mildly. Today we’re going to discuss the vehicles of the series and the ways you can use them to unlock their full potential!
Subtitles are available in the following languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Polish, Turkish, Chinese, Portuguese.

Why NAFO bots bringing politics into a War thunder video? just appreciate the tank and video! I never saw anyone commenting on a M1 abrams video how they are easily stuck on mud and other flaws.

[@thanatosstorm]

You weren't looking closely enough.

[@danh7411]

Sorry but bots from both sides comment negatively on the other.

[@T2002W]

It is not the flaws of the vehicle that matters to people. It's the country that uses them and what it does with them. Russian T-tanks are forever linked to the Russian regime and the war in Ukraine. In the same way, the Abrams is symbol of the Gulf war.

[@T2002W]

Games about war and the weapons of war in general occupy a bit of a weird position. Perhaps we are used to it, but there are people who think that games like these glorify war and that is is not moral to make games about war, especially ongoing wars.

[@FrostOperator90-YT]

I see so many people here saying that Russia is an OP nation. I would appreciate if you come to the realization that Russian Bias is a meme. Whenever I play the leo2PL I have no issue going against Russian teams; other western mbts usually kill me. Yes, Russia has its powerful tanks, but they aren't biased. Please, stop being salty over a meme. Thank you. Btw, nice video, Gaijin, as always :)

[@NathanLecamp]

2s38, bpm2m, object 292 at 10.0, ammos not exploading, no shrapnell inside Russian MBTs, broken FM of Kamov helis, su 25 and su 27... I play Germany too and I think it's a strong nation especially/only at ground, I even have pretty good stats with German vehicles but I can't say Russia isn't OP, they are far from being balanced, thanks to Gaijin...

[@FrostOperator90-YT]

@@NathanLecamp say what you want about the topic but most of what you mentioned are just stereotypes that happen rarely, though they seem to happen more often if you play an opposing nation, naturally. And the vehicles: the 2s38 is just a (much) worse HSTVL, and the object 292 is a tinfoil tank with a big gun. This isn't Russian bias, its just that Russia, as many other nations, has its own strengths, as well as weaknesses. Gaijin doesn;t make Russia more powerful cause they are russian or any other ridiculous reason. Its just that the USSR tech tree is the more envied one because its one of the better ones. Doesnt make it op or biased. I mean, just take Sweden for example. They are extremely powerful yet no one, or very few say Sweden bias. War Thunder, though a work of art, is inherently unbalanced, because there is no way you can balance something perfectly and try making it realistic. I appreciate it for what it is, though my only wish is the playerbase knowing what a meme is from what is actually happening inside of the game.

[@priyansnhughosh4431]

well most of the audience which plays this game is western so its common for them to hate on russsians,sure the ammo vanishes sometimes but that happens with any other tank,not only russian.yesterday my 3bm60 ricochheted off of a hstvl,and according to the american mains,it was "skill isuue" and not "american bias" well i have gave up on that trying to prove that game is broken not that russia is biased@@FrostOperator90-YT
