The BALANCED 10.0 Meta has Returned - T-80B - War Thunder 

This makes me miss the days when the M1A1 and IPM1 with M900 were 10.3

Gotta say, I love the new reload sounds they added, the T- series tanks reload sounds so realistic

10.0 being a thing again makes 9.0-9.3 really painful, especially with the helicopter/drone/premium spam

I had researched all of the T72s first and liked them but when I finally got the T80B with the first game I managed 8 kills and found that the T80s are all super fun.

you should play the object 685, there's not many videos on it and it looks like a really good vehicle on paper

9.3 and 10.7 are incredible brs right now, highest 9.3 can see is 10.3, and the only 10.3 ground vehicles are missile AA. and 10.7 gets constantly downtiered because a lot of top tier players take a 12.0 cas aircraft.

Nice to see this once again, one of the finest 10.0 vehicles, this has a very soft spot in my heart, the turret is just impeccable!

I love my 10.7 american lineup, m1a1, IPM1, merkava mk3d. Then my A-10 Late. I would want top tier america to have the minimum Sep V2 and then V3 since most other nations have their modern day tanks or close to it.

Thank u for the video and your thoughts on this tank, much appreciated

I’ve been playing 10.0, since I got the Leopard 2A4, and I played it a bit before 11.3, it’s so much better now. Especially those downtiers to TURMS tier Also, yes Abrams video?

I have been using the t80b for a bit and it is a blast at 10.0

I love this tank, i usually take off the addon armor to confuse the enemy as the tank without it looks like t72a or t64b

10.0 Russia line up is just incredible now. T-64B, 2 T72B, 1 T-80B, all very competitive tanks, add BMP-2M for SPAA duty and you are good. It's just fun to play 10.0 now

10.0 br is actually incredibly fun right now, the highest br you would see is 10.7.

10:43 I totally agree with you Justin, the enemies engine sound is lower that yours and your teammates After the “Drones” the sound was perfect and good but after few weeks they screwed it again, cuz why not ?😏

Yeah I've noticed that too justin..friendly tanks are louder than enemy

I for one really enjoyed the first clip.

The old south flank Jungle used to have that didn't even look into spawn: blocked off and not allowed Northern flank of fields of Normandy that can look into spawn: allowed and abused

Will we see the t90m or Leo 2a7 which may be a thing for this later

Wow, I should actually start playing Italy 10.0 then. Ariete Preserie, both Dardos, and the SIDAM Mistral, and I can finally use my A129 International. Had the lineup good to go for a while now, just refused to suffer against top-tier constantly.

Jeah I have also the problem that i dont hear the enemy and have a really good head set in other games i hear everything

The 10.0 abrams is really good I recommend that beast

Allied engines are definitely louder. I can hear a teammate's engine as if it was on the other side of a building while they are two blocks away.

Personally love t series tanks that have a lot of ERA slapped onto their turret, sorta like a discount moderna minus the tapna round and cool smoke launcher deployment

you should play the merkava mk4M again, its been a while since the last video and its gotten a few updates. Plus with the possible addition of south korea as a sub tree, now would be the perfect time.

I'm a beginner essentially but for my second tree I will probably grind the Chinese...they basically have a Best Of of all other good low/ mid tier vehicles and their top tiers seem like better version of the Soviets to me...might be talking outta my arse tho. But for all I know it makes more sense grinding that tree insteaf of the Soviets

Hey Justin! GHPC has the T80b as well, do you plan on doing a video on it?

M1 Abrams next ? 👀

Could you do a revisit on the original ztz96 since it's at 9.3?

I feel like now I can actually enjoy playing 10.0 and I rarely get uptiered after the br changes.

I love the look of these Russian vehicles, but I wish they weren’t so bs to kill. (Btw that transition was sick)

One of the my favorites tanks

Thank you :)

I like to start every morning with a nice cup of Justin Playz

Most of the Russian MBTs have the exact same turret composition from the late 70s to now, at least in game.

The T-80B is my favourite I recently got my first nuke with it

10.0 U.S has breathing room now and is fantastic to play.

IMO some level of spawn camp is totally justified. like on fields of normandy when you can look into spawn from the center of map there isn’t much you can do about it. the alternative is to not play the game and just let enemies get out and shoot you. the problem is the maps not the players

Yes DM23 can't pen the upper plate i think most of the time They really should give the Leo2a4 The DM 33

I just got the abrams at 10.0, wild br lmao, and why is the abrams ammo so meh?

Oh my I was just in the same match as you! 🎉 Good win, nice kills with the A-10!

Ariete same BR as this btw.

there are no 10.3 mbt's so 9.3 never sees a full uptier. there are some aa that are 10.3 but not many people would use aa as their top BR vehicle

yes that balance map

9.7 is also getting constant downtiers now, since 10.7 is pretty much nonexistent now

I peffer the moderna. We have a bmp2 for free to attack.

Justin, from your point of view What are the best tanks at top-tier? USA or Russia What should I grind after i finished Germany?

I love this thing tbh

14:39 thats why i never spwn there

They need to change the whole rank system! Not necessarily the Br but the whole classification. A MAUS is a WW2 tank and a Tiger 2 should not be going against a Leo 1. Not too mention the bs with putting older tanks against modern tanks. This going against tanks with thermals and night vision is darn right outrageous!

We need a t80u video pls

please revisit m1 abrams

I now want to play my russia 10.0 lineup, but I'm not dealing with drones and jets

I skipped t80b so it is stock. Oh boy, the fuckinf heat can’t do shit to PUMAs

I need to know why my 11.0 vehicles are facing 9.7

T-72B3 to 11.3 and I'll be a happy man

I still don't get why gaijin gave the T-80B thermals when irl, it never had them.

CV90105 WANTS TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION!

9.7/10.0 bracket, I call the premium bracket. It's just festered with premiums! Which makes it horrendous to play, purely on the basis of new players coming in with one vehicle and leaving. On top of that, because they have one vehicle there's a massive overuse of drones compared to 11.3. Then you get the ka50 downtier and there's hardly any AA at that BR that can match the range if the KA stays at 10km. It's basically a cluster fuck!

BRS of GAIJIN are RIDICULOUS!!! THERMALS VS NO THERMALS, JETS VS PISTON PLANES... PATETHIC

❤️

Leo 2A4/Strv 121 is at the same BR and is better in literally every single way

Play the M1 Abrams, I think it could use the M833 round. What do you think?

T-80B, 2S25M are doing so well. I'm loving 10.0 Russia.

We love our russian MBTs

Strela vid?

well i guess 10.0 is fun for everyone except germany because of pzbtl 123 😂

Why Is everyone In the comments saying that the Russian Armor Is OP It has It's strong points like every other tank, It isn't that hard to aim for the weakpoints especially for how many there Is

The m1 was good before because insane mobility but now its even better

sweden bias !!!! LOL :P

Trust me when I say this as an American Main who firs the Silver bullet more often than not in to the front area of the T-80... That "KONTAKT" armor, no matter what grade, for some reason stops all APFSDS rounds. It shouldnt be, but it does. While better Explosive-Reactive-Armor on other nation tanks it does jack shit. So yes, there is definetly a strong hint of Russian bias with these tanks. Also, more often than not, the caroussel rack which has all the ammo... I've shot it so many times and it didnt do shit. Make 3 shells black "nope". Tank turns around and kills me in one shot. Sure Gaijin. My "gaijin bullshit" saved clips folder is overflowing with nonsense like that.

Tank BRs should always follow the aircraft ones, at least for the MBTs. I know CAS is pretty insufferable at the moment but it doesn't make much sense to leave 11.7+ aircraft without a ground lineup imo. To fix CAS at the higher tiers, maybe different BRs for aircraft in ground RB would help, or being forced to spawn on the airfield, or having (destructible) AI AA units around the map... But idk, maybe expanding the ground BRs to 12.0 could also help a bit with decompression as well...

i can;t believe you say that with a straight face is not really that good.... everyone has to aim for your weakspot while you just aim at them and they die how is that not good???

here we go again. comments throughout the video as i watch. lets go 1:12 yep alright so im not gonna be playing 9.3 for a bit, this is gonna be a bit annoying and honestly, don't wanna deal with it. the russians already have a massive lineup from the looks of it, and the finnicky way russian armour acts as seen from the intro... hhhhh 2:33 watching ads for you 🙏🙏🙏 4:54 impossible. they're supposed to just hold W and click occasionally, wth is all this??? remove the reverse gear, add more armour and tape your finger to the W key! 6:39 you know what, seeinf the actual gameplay, maybe i was a bit tooo dramatic in my first assessment of how these vehicles will perform. although damn are the light vehicles and aircraft that russia has around this br annoying.. however, that applies to a lot of nations. seems pretty alright. 9:35 man the fact that fpe runs out like that us pretty annoying. i get why it'd be a bit silly to have infinite fpe, but i mean you'd think you could at least put a fire out on a cap??? 10:05 two birds in one stone. tanks at way higher tiers than they should be and small maps at high tiers... yeah. i always liked fields of poland and other similar maps like that because it fits with the fact that, well these tanks have laser range finders and thermals with powerful, high velocity guns built for long range engagements. however, it would be annoying with just only massive maps, especially for people who haven't unlocked APFSDS, thermals, nvd and a LRF. though, gaijin maps in general are just.. ehh.. most of the time. 10:33 YES, damn my teammates engines are so loud that i start fearing that there's an enemy coming towards me... nah, it's my teammate KnobCock1984 rolling up behind me. and then ill turn the corner and get killed by something I couldn't hear over my teammates engine... 10:57 tanks in russia always happy. no depression. 11:43 another man lost in the hunt for the Justin 😢 13:02 brah i swear, American teams around this BR are just LAVs, XMs and those horrid, ugly, wolfpack-looking things. 14:13 gaijin when you tell them that being able to see into the enemies spawn in the first 30 seconds isn't a good thing: 17:00 my heart bleeds for the frenchie tanks, the 7.7 lineup is just so wonderful, then it just ses to go to THAT.. peace be upon the French mains, because they're being fried 18:39 although I don't play towards the top tiers a lot, so this change doesn't affect me too much, I can definitely say that this is a step in tje right direction towards decompression, which would give a lot of vehicles the breathing room they really need to be moved up or down. hope to see more changes like it, even if it's little by little. I'd hope this is a new chapter for Gaijin and it's balancing. 18:57 hey, sure. go for it. delivering some 120mm freedom would be wonderful.

Russia 10.0 is amazing to play. Helps to take Uralvagonzavod into every battle

T80B need A NERF! ITS RIDICULOUS HAHAHA

"imagine not fighting russia" - every other nation

I'm one of the first watching yes.

First

Russian bias always exsisted.

russia suffering? thats a hilarious joke. i've been playing 10.0 constantly lately and russia has been winning almost every game.

Russian bias definitely exists lmao. Don't listen to anyone that says it doesn't

All T series should be upped by 0.3 to 0.7 BR

Russian armor is so damn ridiculous. The amount of shots you took in this video is absolutely wild. Aids to my frustration when I shoot t series mbts with dm53 and rarely find success doing so. Literally stopped playing my only top tier country because of Russian tanks
