T-80 tank guide World of Tanks

Review video guide on the T-80 tank

In WOT, the T-80 is the representative of the 4th level of the LT class of the Soviet development branch . Has a unique structure of the structure of the model. In the Second World War he took part in hostilities, but because of poor combat effectiveness was withdrawn from production one year after its implementation. Having pumped T-80 there is no special choice in further development, there is only one transition on ST -34 .

General information.

The T-80 tank, classified as LT , is not at all suitable for carrying out the main function of this class. This model has a poor maximum speed and review, which does not allow it to be used as a scout. But this machine is armed with a powerful 45 mm gun named "VT-43". This weapon has a penetration of 75 mm and damage of 55 hp. The rate of fire of the gun reaches 29 rounds per minute. In the branches of the development of the T-80 there is a similar weapon "VT-42" with practically the same indicators of combat effectiveness, but it has a much larger spread and it is reduced for a long time. Therefore, it is recommended to install "VT-43".

Despite the fact that the tank is rather dynamic, its maximum speed is 45 km / h, and the reserve of reverse is equal to 18 km / h. These indicators are not suitable for reconnaissance. Moreover, a review of 330 meters is clearly not enough for a successful dawn of enemy forces. The weight is 14 tons, and the engine power is 210 hp.

Armor is:

• Body: forehead - 35 mm, sides - 25 mm, karma - 25 mm.
• Tower: forehead - 35 mm, side - 35 mm, rear part of the tower - 35 mm.

Recommended modules.

Despite the small level of this firefly, it also needs a good set of modules:

• Springs - take on the added weight from the modules, without reducing the speed;
• Enhanced aiming drives - allow you to aim shooting at a quick recharge;
• Improved ventilation - improves the crew's skills, which has a positive effect on combat effectiveness.

Equipment is recommended to install the standard:

• Repair kit;
• fire extinguisher;
• First aid kit.

Crew.

Properly trained crew, allows you to perfectly use the full potential of the combat unit.

So:

• Commander: repair, eagle eye, radio interception, battle brotherhood;
• Mechanic driver: repair, off-road king, virtuoso, battle brotherhood;
• Gunner: repair, smooth turn of the tower, sniper, battle brotherhood.

Weak places T-80.

Perhaps it is inappropriate to treat the T-80 to weaknesses, this combat monster has a fairly high balanced weight, which is the reason for frequent hit in the battle to 6-8 levels of technology. In these battles, the T-80 will not save its booking. But getting into small-scale battles was not ruled out.

For its level, this model has quite good rates of booking. Therefore, in the frontal projection it is recommended to attack the area of ​​2 hatches. They are excellently distinguished and easy to hit on them, this will allow you to carry out the damage and concussion of the driver-mechanic. It is also recommended to fire at the bottom, this area is rather weak for armor. You can also try to get into the hatch on the tower, it's guaranteed to cause damage and a crew commander's concussion.

If we consider the lateral projection, then it is recommended to shoot at the tower. The body will be quite difficult to get, but the tower is quite large, and is open for shelling. It is best to fire strictly in the center of the tower, this is a shock as a commander of the crew, and will damage the combat.

The aft projection penetrates absolutely into any point of the region. The priority is the bottom of the tank and the tower. Successful shots on the turret can blow up the ammunition, and a shot in the bottom ignites the engine.

Tactics of combat on the T-80.

The tactics mainly depend on the location of the T-80 in the team and the enemy combat units. If the enemy team contains tanks from 3 to 5 levels, you can safely break through one of the flanks, but only as a support for the allied equipment. Thanks to its gun, this fighting unit excellently punches any class of tanks up to level 5.

If it turned out that you are in the team in the last place, then the main task is the destruction of enemy aircraft and the protection of artillery. You can also actively shine the base area for Allied artillery.

For the T-80, World of Tanks has become an excellent option for realizing its potential. In the game, this tank is slightly modified in terms of technical characteristics, which does not betray its huge disadvantage in using such a low-quality engine, which affected the fact that the tank simply disappeared from production.
