Wrong model !!

[The Socialist]

Hi, the T-80U tank's model in armory is totally incorrect. why is that ??

Article from 2022 using a mini scale does not mean ♥♥♥♥ when the context is 1989 early ERA designs.
Also it's all simulations and nothing real.

>all simulation and nothing real
Numerical simulations are accurate enough. I do CFD-analysis sometimes as undergrad student.

Without supporting some really shady claims of soviet general superiority in regard to technology and speculative war scenarios, given the cited article it seems true that versions of ERA are able to be effective against kinetic force. So please don't move the goalpost by saying that produced ERA plates never had the quality to defend against kinetic rounds in the first place. The original claim was a general claim not a logistical or quality claim. This said it may be the case that the cited article could be wrong, but to this point I have no reason to think otherwise, especially without good counterevidence which doesn't rely on anecdotal evidence and vast generalization.

Nato dogs will not win. T-80U built from mighty Stalinium ERA. Europe would have been blitzkrieged in weeks if the cold war had kicked off. Glory to the USSR, Eugen has closely refined the brilliance of the T-80U but it needs more HP buff. +2 for this amazing ERA is not modeling history correctly here.

I can't tell if you're role-playing Tim Curry's character from Red Alert 3 ("SPESS!!"), or if you're actually being serious.

The T-80U in-game is supposed to represent the early variant with Kontakt 1 ERA.

The T-80UD is the one with Kontakt-5. Hence the models and different armor values.

the K-1 verison is very rare, K-5 used in common so it's nonsense to put the K-1 verison

In contrast to the original, or 'light', type of ERA which is effective only against shaped charge jets, the 'heavy' Kontakt-5 ERA is also effective against the long-rod penetrators of APFSDS tank gun projectiles, anti-tank missiles, and anti-armour rotary cannons.

Yeah. T-80U has K-1 not K-5.

T-80U has Kontakt-5 not Kontank-1, the K-1 version was uncommon

The Soviet Union fell more than 30 years ago dumbass.

Did it ? Evidence? Sources?

Didn't realize Russia doesnt use Soviet weapons/equipment...

Yeah, ♥♥♥♥ doesn't tend to pan out exactly as calculated at times because there are a million variables.

The K-1 version is the only T-80U by 1989 as far as I know, so yes, it's uncommon but by comparison the K-5 version is nonexistent.

T-80U with K-5 existed in 1985 and was introduced for T-80U specifically, later they gave it to T-72B Obr. 1989

I'm sure you're able to provide a source for that. Early T-80Us made in Kharkiv were not equipped with K-5 but rather with K-1.

Come on kid, at least read the comment. Also, World of Tanks?

Still waiting on a source or a picture or something of a T-80U (not UD) with K-5 prior to 89
