hey turny im watching this video again cause its sale right know and i have the 2s38 and 4700 ge should i still buy i it cause it didnt realy go up in br ?
Only real advantage it seems to have that I know of over the T-72 B3 is slightly better armor (same weak spots), and better reload. Still less than the Abrooms. Can be 10.3, but at that point might aswell play the T-90A with I think more than 1000HP from my memory, and even better armor only .3 BR with 3bM60. 10.0 is meh for it, but still kinda low considering the Abrams original is 10.3, and Leo 2A4 being also 10.3. If you wanted to for the sake of parity bring it to 10.3 just cause, that’s fine tbh. I feel indifferent to it, because while I think the Abrams doesn’t pen well, it’s got the best survivability at its BR, and better mobility than anything Soviet in that 10.0-10.3 BR range other than T-80B maybe. Better turret traverse, a real reverse speed (T-80UD is worse than any T-80 on this lol), better gun elevator which is major imo. Even quicker reload. I’d say the Abrams is better than the T-80UD firing Bouncy Mango. 😂
T-80UD is trash at 10.0 as well as TURMS and T-72B. M1s and Leo 2A4s have faster reload, faster reverse speed, better mobility, better gun depression, faster turret rotation, faster vertical guidance, blowout panels. And you are okay with giving it 10.3 when it suffers already at 10.0? By the way T-72B has 43% win rate, TURMS 45%, 2A4 54%, M1 55%
@@gmikay Winrate is mostly about premiums, i.e. players, not vehicles. I have played Germany 10.3, US 10.3 as well as USSR 10.0, and if you genuinely believe that the 2A4 and 105 M1 are better than the T-80UD and Turms, you are completely delusions and I have no other words. The 2A4 is widely considered the best 10.3, yet the T-80UD, which is at 10.0 gets a better gun, better reload (unless max + expert), and WAY better armor. All of these things matter much more than mobility, gun depression, turret rotation and vertical guidance. I mean for crying out loud, your round can go straight through EVERYWHERE on my abrams except lower front plate. That is nearly 80% of what you see from the front of my tank. As for the leopard, your gun can go through EVERYWHERE on the front, including the LFP, UFP and turret cheeks. Stop convincing yourself that the russian vehicles suck at that br, and start realising that the problem is you, not the tank.
@@creepincreepy261 yes T-80UD has better armor, it has less and smaller weakspots but it doesn't have BETTER gun and BETTER reload lol. armor is it's only advantage over NATO tanks and it is completely lost against players who are used to destroy soviet MBTs through weakspots. TURMS on the other hand doesn't have even that, it can be penned everywhere at 10.0. it has gen 2 thermals that's it. how can I be convincing myself if I use facts and personal experience?
you can have a game like this with m60 and a stock apcr round when the enemy team is so bad and they play like a headless chicken.. that certainly happened when the 292 arrived and it doesn't have as much armor as ud
The Object 292 was fine at 10.0 because the reload is 10 seconds, it lacks ERA, it lacks thermals, it lacks an MG, it lacks smoke, and the round is barely an advantage over something like 3bm42. This thing only lacks thermals with all the benefits of higher BR Russian tanks
Round is barely an upgrade? Bro it has 700mm of pen and its 152mm. Because of volumetric you literally 1 shot everything you pen, and you pen everything. Couple that with obviously having a broken fucking damage model where driver sight shots only take out driver and turret ring.
@@ILikeTuwtles the round isn't very good because it can overpen, only way you'll make better use of it is you play at top tier basically, at 10.0 it is good don't get it twisted but most things lack good armor.
@@JetS_Gamer I'm convinced everyone that thinks it's balanced only played the 292 or 11.0s against it. It's armor and mobility compared to other 10.0-9.0 vehicles that face it is blatantly OP

I stopped playing War Thunder after 8000 hours because of what Gaijin does… this tank is beter in every way than the M1 and 2A4 but its BR goes lower than them becasue Russian Bias… I HATE Gaijin and the way they do things… a stupid Russian company
@@patriktoth6258 Its about on par with the T-72B (1989), because you trade thermals for better mobility and reload speed. By the way the T-72B (1989) is very strong for 10.0, so it also being 10.0 is kinda bonkers. All of the USSR 10.0 lineup should be 10.3 except the T-72AV, T-72B, and the Su25K. (yes that includes the strela, bmp2m, obj292, t72b(1989) and 2s25m)
I swooped it and the armor feels good but Its fine at 10.0.. No thermals and terrible reverse speed makes up for it, not everyone has snapshot reflexes either lol
Your video is kind of a meme in itself. If you're used to playing the Russian 10.0 lineup, then you're already aware that every game is an uptier because of the prevalence of the Leo2a4/vilkas, etc. And now with the Fuji, you can make a constant 11.0 uptier. So the UD is actually more of a 10.7 tank...
I have 5-1 kd in most of the tanks , but in this thing i cant get that kd, because of the reverse, u are underestimating how frustrating it is to have no reverse and how many times it gets u killed, i dont think it should go up in BR
It definitely should, compare this to turms and t72b, it's faster, slightly better reverse and better armour. If you don't think it should go up it's honestly skill issue
i expected skill issue comments lol thats why i mentioned the 5-1 kd, but ill now explain further, i have 100 Day play time and my kds are alllike 250 deaths to 1300-1400 kills, example black night 285 deaths to 1490 kills, so no its not skill issue, i was just saying my opinion , he has played 2 games and got lucky doesnt mean the tank is OP , he should give it abit more time, and get a few games that are all not full downtiers @@shikikanaz4624

Sry it wont go up in BR anytime soon because of the Premium Tier and Matchmaker and too many Noob Teams playing it. 10.0 Ussr gets mostly uptiers and getting their ass kicked more often than not even though they have like the best lineup around 10.0 by far.
Gaijin makes a dev server to test things out on, so that when it's released on the live server it's in the best condition it can be. atleast that's HOW it's SUPPOSED to be. but yet we have this: Test server: "gaijin this _____ vehicle is OP/bad and needs a nerf/buff" Gaijin: We hear you, we are taking in your feedback, and we will make the necessary changes.

90% of the time every shot in russian tanks ends in breach, barrel damage. begleit, Tam, gepards you name it everything kills breach, barrel. Heat Huge ass weakspot infront that can easily pen it and kill everything.
you really did not do much the turms cant do aswell. I just think that the mindset the tank gave you allowed you to be this good. Afterall, you played really well therefore i dont really think it was the tank but actually you.
Not like Russia needed this or anything, you already have 2 amazing premiums at this br but Gaijin will be Gaijin and I guess they felt like they need the money. lmao
I really don't see why this should go up in br no thermals is a pretty big trade off imo sure the era is better than on the Turms but again it's all about the trade offs
this thing is amazing but I also love facing them because the low levels that bought them have absolutley NO idea how to play, yesterday i decided to play a game and i got 9 ground kills, 1 air kill, 3 assists and one death (usinng t80B) and 6 of my kills were low level t80UD players.
Tbh the Type 90 fuji shitting on the new T-80UD and Turms, who are in perma full uptiers (at least that's my experience while playing 10.0 USSR and my team gets wiped out by 2a4s and fujis by the 8th minute mark) so if I have to guess, neither the turms nor the UD are going up at this stage, their winrate and KDA is kept low by the level 15s that are buying them
In my opinion all of Russia 10.0 is to low, at least they should b 10.3 Edit: at least a cpl of them anyway, bmp2m, 2s38 292😂 n maybe even a few other that should be at least 10.3 in my (opinion)

I think I like this channel so much because you sound like Jeremy Clarkson from the Grand tour
I'm curious what reason I have to play this game when I'm at this exact BR where this and the 292 are squarely at? It really sucks being unable to penetrate through their front plates with an Abrams.
and the 292 can pen any abrams turret cheeck.
Try not to shoot at the front plates, dunno
Hit harder maybe lmao
It has been 5 months and it is still 10.0 BR
I personally don’t have a problem fighting this thing. It’s really easy to pen. Lower plate or drivers port and it’s a kill every time.
t80UD is one of the best at the 10.0 bought it straight away! love ur videos.🤗🤗
but itll be nerfed to shit and slapped up to 10.7 or 11.0
@@thedandy6765I don’t see them putting this higher than 10.3. Look at the 2s38 which is arguably a better buy than this with a great aphe and apfsds with a he-vt for planes and helis and a tracking radar, plus scouting. It’s still at 10.0 when it can very easily uptier
@@thedandy6765it's a t80 it'll always be good.
The t80ud is literally just a t80uk at 10.0 with the contact5 era but the round is different it has 3bm42 but it has the same atgm which is good and no thermals but still it's t80uk chassis but with different engine and round (the reason I'm comparing to t80uk because it literally a free version and cheaper version if your too impatient to wait for the squadron points)
Yeah, but you don't get the one thing that makes T80s playable, Reverse speed. this thing is mid, and I'd take a T72B 1989 over it anyway day of the week.
@@kaiserwihelmvonfluff1000 yeah the one with contact 5 era isn't it? That's a really nice tank and even better in looks but in gameplay idk the t80 always had better armor
Are you kidding me? How is this thing good? It has NO THERMAL, shit turret traverse, no backspeed. HOW IS THIS TANK EVEN COMPARED TO TYPE 90?
Hero at 10:42 , killed a Abrams with a IS-2
Shell guided by Stalin himself
Yeah in real life the t80ud is a t80u made in Ukraine in the Soviet Union times but with a desal engine and not a turbine like the t80 normally had
Not only the engine but the transmission is also one out of a t72 hence why it's reverse speed sucks the same
hey turny im watching this video again cause its sale right know and i have the 2s38 and 4700 ge should i still buy i it cause it didnt realy go up in br ?
dont know if you will read this but maybe anotherone can help me
Only real advantage it seems to have that I know of over the T-72 B3 is slightly better armor (same weak spots), and better reload. Still less than the Abrooms. Can be 10.3, but at that point might aswell play the T-90A with I think more than 1000HP from my memory, and even better armor only .3 BR with 3bM60. 10.0 is meh for it, but still kinda low considering the Abrams original is 10.3, and Leo 2A4 being also 10.3. If you wanted to for the sake of parity bring it to 10.3 just cause, that’s fine tbh.
I feel indifferent to it, because while I think the Abrams doesn’t pen well, it’s got the best survivability at its BR, and better mobility than anything Soviet in that 10.0-10.3 BR range other than T-80B maybe.
Better turret traverse, a real reverse speed (T-80UD is worse than any T-80 on this lol), better gun elevator which is major imo. Even quicker reload. I’d say the Abrams is better than the T-80UD firing Bouncy Mango. 😂
i agree for no thermals 10.0 is fine
T-80UD is trash at 10.0 as well as TURMS and T-72B. M1s and Leo 2A4s have faster reload, faster reverse speed, better mobility, better gun depression, faster turret rotation, faster vertical guidance, blowout panels. And you are okay with giving it 10.3 when it suffers already at 10.0?
By the way T-72B has 43% win rate, TURMS 45%, 2A4 54%, M1 55%
@@gmikay Winrate is mostly about premiums, i.e. players, not vehicles. I have played Germany 10.3, US 10.3 as well as USSR 10.0, and if you genuinely believe that the 2A4 and 105 M1 are better than the T-80UD and Turms, you are completely delusions and I have no other words. The 2A4 is widely considered the best 10.3, yet the T-80UD, which is at 10.0 gets a better gun, better reload (unless max + expert), and WAY better armor. All of these things matter much more than mobility, gun depression, turret rotation and vertical guidance. I mean for crying out loud, your round can go straight through EVERYWHERE on my abrams except lower front plate. That is nearly 80% of what you see from the front of my tank. As for the leopard, your gun can go through EVERYWHERE on the front, including the LFP, UFP and turret cheeks. Stop convincing yourself that the russian vehicles suck at that br, and start realising that the problem is you, not the tank.
@@creepincreepy261 yes T-80UD has better armor, it has less and smaller weakspots but it doesn't have BETTER gun and BETTER reload lol. armor is it's only advantage over NATO tanks and it is completely lost against players who are used to destroy soviet MBTs through weakspots. TURMS on the other hand doesn't have even that, it can be penned everywhere at 10.0. it has gen 2 thermals that's it. how can I be convincing myself if I use facts and personal experience?
At their respective br between the T80UE1 and the T80UD which one is better?
you can have a game like this with m60 and a stock apcr round when the enemy team is so bad and they play like a headless chicken.. that certainly happened when the 292 arrived and it doesn't have as much armor as ud
Most of the other 10.0 Russian MBT's get 3BM42 so other than possibly the armor I'd say its right in line.
This is my favorite tank in game solely for that diesel turbo flutter 💦
If they are gonna raise it’s br then they have to add thermals and probably something higher then 3bm42
No, its already too low for what it is, it should be 10.3 or 10.07 without changes
Ah yes let me just put this 11.0 tank at 10.0
Well now I have to buy it
The Object 292 was fine at 10.0 because the reload is 10 seconds, it lacks ERA, it lacks thermals, it lacks an MG, it lacks smoke, and the round is barely an advantage over something like 3bm42. This thing only lacks thermals with all the benefits of higher BR Russian tanks
Round is barely an upgrade? Bro it has 700mm of pen and its 152mm. Because of volumetric you literally 1 shot everything you pen, and you pen everything. Couple that with obviously having a broken fucking damage model where driver sight shots only take out driver and turret ring.
@@ILikeTuwtles the round isn't very good because it can overpen, only way you'll make better use of it is you play at top tier basically, at 10.0 it is good don't get it twisted but most things lack good armor.
aswell the fact that many other 10.0 vehicles cannot pen it frontally except for the lower plate, which only takes out the driver
@@JetS_Gamer I'm convinced everyone that thinks it's balanced only played the 292 or 11.0s against it. It's armor and mobility compared to other 10.0-9.0 vehicles that face it is blatantly OP
Lacks thermals, has worse armor values than the T-80U on it's upper front plate, shit reverse speed, so idk seems fair
if it gets moved above 10.3 it should get thermals even if it didnt have it irl, if it gets moved to 10.3 then Im okayish without thermals but full uptiers(11.3) without thermals is gonna suck.
This guy always faces m1s and Fujis. It never sees tams or leo1. It has already 10.3.
Thats all we needed, a new 10.0 premium for the russian….
Yea, everyone saw it coming. Putting it at 10.0 was just sales bait.
I stopped playing War Thunder after 8000 hours because of what Gaijin does… this tank is beter in every way than the M1 and 2A4 but its BR goes lower than them becasue Russian Bias…
I HATE Gaijin and the way they do things… a stupid Russian company
No thermals
Slow reverse
No gun depression
Slower speed
Its a slightly better 72B(1989)
@@patriktoth6258 Its about on par with the T-72B (1989), because you trade thermals for better mobility and reload speed. By the way the T-72B (1989) is very strong for 10.0, so it also being 10.0 is kinda bonkers. All of the USSR 10.0 lineup should be 10.3 except the T-72AV, T-72B, and the Su25K. (yes that includes the strela, bmp2m, obj292, t72b(1989) and 2s25m)
So far its still 10.0 and im loving it in my line up.
The fact this can go up against leopard 1a1 is stupid tbh
Turny can you please make a guide on how you play, would love some tips.
The fact that at 10.0 as a rus MBT you will fight Leopards 1 with thermals and other tanks
So if you use T-72B 1989 its almost the same
since 2S38 is also 10.0 I have a feeling Gaijin will keep it there :S
I am so disappointed that it is a premium. When the leak list looked trustable i was really excited for a researchable 10.0 t80 for the lineup :((.
I swooped it and the armor feels good but Its fine at 10.0.. No thermals and terrible reverse speed makes up for it, not everyone has snapshot reflexes either lol
ahhh yes and next patch add the Greek 2A5 with an 105 at 10.0
Your video is kind of a meme in itself. If you're used to playing the Russian 10.0 lineup, then you're already aware that every game is an uptier because of the prevalence of the Leo2a4/vilkas, etc. And now with the Fuji, you can make a constant 11.0 uptier. So the UD is actually more of a 10.7 tank...
It’s pretty much between a 1989 and a T-90A… it should be 10.3 like the T-80B is. I think that’s fair
I have 5-1 kd in most of the tanks , but in this thing i cant get that kd, because of the reverse, u are underestimating how frustrating it is to have no reverse and how many times it gets u killed, i dont think it should go up in BR
It definitely should, compare this to turms and t72b, it's faster, slightly better reverse and better armour. If you don't think it should go up it's honestly skill issue
i expected skill issue comments lol thats why i mentioned the 5-1 kd, but ill now explain further, i have 100 Day play time and my kds are alllike 250 deaths to 1300-1400 kills, example black night 285 deaths to 1490 kills, so no its not skill issue, i was just saying my opinion , he has played 2 games and got lucky doesnt mean the tank is OP , he should give it abit more time, and get a few games that are all not full downtiers @@shikikanaz4624
@@shikikanaz4624 it does not have better reverse, and no thermals.
@@shikikanaz4624To put this into perspective. The Leo 2a4 is 10.3. the round is slightly worse the gunhandling is much better. It has thermals (t80 don't). It has insane mobility. It also has decent armour and very good survivability. I have like a 2.8 kd in those things and a 78% winrate. From my pow, the 2a4 fits right in my play style and this t80 is not really that strong. The 2a4 even reloads faster than the t80 and JustinPlays mentioned he thinks the 2a4 is kinda weak with its round at 10.3. so compared to thinks like that and the leo 2k or something, I don't think the t80 should or could move up in br.
dude reverse gear it's not something that should put a WHOLE br down, i mean it's a skill issue.
Russia already has a stacked lineup at 10.0, no reason for them to add a GE alternative to the TURMS
This thing face centurions brother wtf is going on.
The russian 10.0 line up just gets stronger and stronger
idk if its just me but for some reason this video feels very laggy
7:18 an is2 destroys a Puma, no more to say xD
I most of the time use hesh against this thing
So the only advantage is armour, slightly better than 9.7 t64b. No it should not go up in BR
T-80UD is better than T-72AV in any way possible. People gotta stop glazing thermals so much.
Yeah for like 95% of the time I agree, if you get a nice big map though, the Turms is definitely the choice
if that thing is so strong then why dont people run the T72B 1989 like crazy then?
its the same tank with a slightly shittier engine.
Man this is exactly what Russia needed at 10.0 to be more competitive. I mean if they had an MBT, Light tank and CAS premiums at that BR I would understand why this vehicle wouldn't get added but I'm glad it was.
7 months and has gone up .3 br XD
Is good enough comrade, da?
whole update was scuffed lol. the new buccaneer shouldnt be 10.3 it should be 9.7 max. the fox is way too low and so is this. they need to sort this out lmao
na 10.0 is fine
@@everblades4 why tell me why this should be 10.0
Cause he paid 60 bucks for it
Buccaneer is good there.... 9L and guided stuff. You can forget 9.7
a russian vehicle with low br, coloured me surprised
thats 10.0 premium russia
they will never touch that broken shiet
Just curious, what server do you play in? Cause the players in there can't aim for shit, and has the awareness of a blind fish
Sry it wont go up in BR anytime soon because of the Premium Tier and Matchmaker and too many Noob Teams playing it.
10.0 Ussr gets mostly uptiers and getting their ass kicked more often than not even though they have like the best lineup around 10.0 by far.
no joke ???? the tree its at 10.3 and it still < the prenuin one
Gaijin makes a dev server to test things out on, so that when it's released on the live server it's in the best condition it can be. atleast that's HOW it's SUPPOSED to be. but yet we have this:
Test server: "gaijin this _____ vehicle is OP/bad and needs a nerf/buff"
Gaijin: We hear you, we are taking in your feedback, and we will make the necessary changes.
After dev server: does nothing
Live server: "gaijin this same ______ vehicle is OP/bad and needs nerf/buff WHY didn't you do anything
Gaijin: everything is fine! have a fun update everyone and we look forward to hearing what you think of the update we worked so hard on! :D
Community: B R U H
If it's so good why did you have 4 matches in a row with 4 kills total?
why should the T80UD go up in BR? The 2s38 and BMP2M are still at 10.0. So nope all is fine with Russia at 10.0, the most broken Lineup in the game.
the BR is perfect maybe 10.3 but it should stay where it’s at
Meanwhile me with Sweden T-80U squadron tank BR 11.0 k
Just such bullshit🤦
With 3bm42 (for historical reason)
90% of the time every shot in russian tanks ends in breach, barrel damage. begleit, Tam, gepards you name it everything kills breach, barrel. Heat Huge ass weakspot infront that can easily pen it and kill everything.
you really did not do much the turms cant do aswell. I just think that the mindset the tank gave you allowed you to be this good. Afterall, you played really well therefore i dont really think it was the tank but actually you.
Not like Russia needed this or anything, you already have 2 amazing premiums at this br but Gaijin will be Gaijin and I guess they felt like they need the money. lmao
Dont worry its just Russian bias at play as always, Warthunder is pretty much unplayable due to it.
The whole russian 10.0 line-up is too low. Everything at 10.0 should be 10.3, at least. The 2s38 needs to be 11.0.
First m1 Abrams is 10.3 with worse sabo and hull armor but this is 10.0. Pure Russian bias present
Fox Time😁
I really don't see why this should go up in br no thermals is a pretty big trade off imo sure the era is better than on the Turms but again it's all about the trade offs
Still don’t know how this is a premium. The only unique thing is the diesel engine but that’s all I know about it
this thing is amazing but I also love facing them because the low levels that bought them have absolutley NO idea how to play, yesterday i decided to play a game and i got 9 ground kills, 1 air kill, 3 assists and one death (usinng t80B) and 6 of my kills were low level t80UD players.
Day 209 of asking for some juicy black prince gameplay 👾
So essentially the swedish equivalent is 11.0 but the ussr premium is 10.0?
Tbh the Type 90 fuji shitting on the new T-80UD and Turms, who are in perma full uptiers (at least that's my experience while playing 10.0 USSR and my team gets wiped out by 2a4s and fujis by the 8th minute mark) so if I have to guess, neither the turms nor the UD are going up at this stage, their winrate and KDA is kept low by the level 15s that are buying them
too low? absolutely not, less mobile T80 with bad optics
In my opinion all of Russia 10.0 is to low, at least they should b 10.3
Edit: at least a cpl of them anyway, bmp2m, 2s38 292😂 n maybe even a few other that should be at least 10.3 in my (opinion)
You're too low Turny.
