LFP and mantlet.ģBM46, Tier IV, APFSDS- if players are not satisfied with the penetration of 3BM42, the 3BM46 now has over 530 mm penetration point-blank and enjoys the same trajectory from its predecessor. ![]() It is always a good idea to bring some HE alongside other ammunition of your choice.ģBM42, Tier I, APFSDS- while it is not the best APFSDS at its calibre and tier (Chinese 125-I has 466 mm penetration point-blank at a much lower BR), APFSDS does help ease the stock grind extensively with its flat trajectory and better post-penetration damage but make sure to aim for the parts where it can penetrate enemy tanks ie. This round is also extremely lethal to light vehicles. Due to the overpressure mechanic, tanks will have a bad day if hit in their less-covered parts such as gun optics or CITV cameras. So either take the enemies from the flank or aim carefully to disable enemies with the first shot.ģOF26, HE-FS- the other stock HE-FS for Soviet tanks since the T-64B, a doctrine for Soviet tanks using HE shells to doom armoured targets with its explosive contents. However, in most cases shots that fall on parts covered by composite armour will do no harm to the target, though it is still lethal to light vehicles. The shell options on the T-80UM2 are totally identical to its tech-tree variant: while not having the highest penetration among tanks of its tier, it can still serve its purpose in taking out enemy tanks.ģBK18M, HEATFS- the most common stock HEATFS for Soviet tanks after the T-64B, although composite armour and ERA are commonplace at its tier, it has higher penetration than its NATO/Chinese counterparts at 550 mm, so it will have better chance to penetrate the sloped parts of MBTs of the same tier. While late/post-Cold War missiles are a major threat for the T-80U as they now have more than enough penetration to take out the tank, the Drozd APS of the UM2 gives it the chance to intercept 4 missiles in total (8 rounds, 2 per salvo) before it has to be rearmed, making T-80UM2's overall survivability better. Due to the cramped interior layout caused by the design philosophy of being low-profile like most other Soviet tanks, while this lowers the chance of being spotted behind terrain, if the tank is penetrated by enemy shots, chances are either the explosion from fuel tank or the 6ETs series autoloader will instantly knock-out the tank. ![]() The base model of the T-80U is infamous for its well-rounded protection against both kinetic and chemical projectiles with up to 600 mm KE protection up front the sides are also partly covered by extra armour. However, the UM2 installs 2 pairs of Drozd APS launchers with 8 rounds of interception projectiles. From its appearance and by the name itself, T-80UM2 looks very similar to the tech-tree variant with its iconic rubber applique armour on the turret and its Kontakt-5 ERA blocks on the hull.
