Available to PACT forces, the T-80B is the first unlockable variant of the Soviet T-80. In-game the T-80B is just an ATGM upgrade to the baseline T-80, and is 20 points more expensive. The chosen ATGM was the 9M112-1 Kobra (AT-8 Songster).
The T-80B main battle tank is a further development of the original T-80, which was produced only in small numbers. The T-80B is the first variant produced in quantity. It entered service with the Soviet army in 1978.
History[]
In 1978 the T-80 tank was upgraded with a new turret, fire control system, rangefinder and autoloader. Also this was the first T-80 ATGM capable. The 9M112-1 Kobra (AT-8 Songster) was the gun launched missile mounted in the B variant. This missile has a range of 100 - 4 000 meters, but can be fired when the tank is stationary only. It has a hit probability of 80%. In 1980 a new engine (1000 hp) was also fitted.
Protection of the T-80B was improved comparing with the T-80. It is also fitted with NBC protection and fire suppression systems.
Further development of the T-80B was the T-80BV. It features radically improved protection. The T-80BV was accepted to service in 1985 and production began the same year. All operational T-80B MBTs were upgraded to the T-80BV level.
