T-72 / War Thunder
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июл 2021
- Right before WW2, Soviet engineers developed the T-34 medium tank. This highly versatile, easy to produce vehicle arrived just in time, and was instrumental in the eventual victory against German forces.
A few more years passed, and there was another engineering triumph, when the team lead by Alexander Morozov created the T-54, a medium tank with massive potential for modernisation.
But no vehicle can serve forever. Despite all the strengths of the tanks of the T-54 family, in the 1950s, Soviet engineers started to work on their eventual replacements.

I drove a T72 once. Gatta say it feels better to have a 40+ ton mosnter than anythink else on the road.
tell me more
You don't have to worry about vehicle insurance, since no one will dare to have a crash with you
@@aboosker4656 well half of my family is in armed forces and i got to drive one once.

@ILLUSION12 well the name should have given it away but I am from India
The local military museum near me has a T-72 Lion of Babylon tank from Iraq
i have local museum too it has t72 as well
The lyon of babylon was a better T-72 that was super useful and still in service today.
Wow I am super surprised that America took something that isn’t theirs wow. Seen one back in Iraq when I was around 7 years old.
My dad commanded one before the invasion for mandatory service
@@dariansalih2194 and that's a lie
Despite the tank being cheap and reliable in real life, all t-72’s have massive repair costs in game. Well done gaijin
The range of prices makes no sense, I can't believe I made money playing thru the Swedish tree.
Since High Victory rates.
They do? I play AB and they're dirt cheap lol
its balancing, has nothing to do with how much it actually cost, mostly used to prevent vehicle spamming. thats why the t26e1-1 has a 16k repair cost, to prevent a full team of them.
@@defnotthekgb8362 they should actually balance them instead of increasing repair costs to the point no one plays them
I like how the t72 has a commander sight but we can't use it because gaijin is to lazy to animate the machine gun turning the other side
If you enable commander fire control, the machine gun will never obstruct your view.
But yes, it's sad that you can't really turn around in the commander sight without moving the entire turret.
Thanks to the economy changes I’ll be able to use this in only 50 years
How nice:DDDD Thx gaijin 😃😃
gajin is probably not gonna respond to that lmao

When most Americans think of the T-72, they tend to think of the export variants that got utterly obliterated by coalition forces in the 1991 and 2003 wars in Iraq.
Excuses

They fixed it yesterday it literally shows the patch’s notes right when you start the game.
@@Gurowho they increased repair cost for all planes from 20-3000 SL, basically doubled rewards for useful actions, and removed active time rewards….a mixed bag to be sure….AND ONLY FOR SIM BATTLES! So this doesn’t even affect most of us.
Fix what?
@@kinglone9720 literally just told you LMAO
Reward system nerf and im talking about realistic enduring
When are you going to give the Ariete the same zoom and FOV as the T-72AV TURMS? they have the same optics...
or maybe remove ariete's commander thermals since it didnt have them irl.
never because its not a premium
@@m1a1abrams3 Yeah okay, go tell lies somewhere else.
The Ariete did in fact have commander thermals irl, where the hell did you get that it didn't?
@@m1a1abrams3 You’re wrong, how many times do people have to call you out. All you do is spread missinfomation, and every time people prove you wrong.
keep saying im wrong but i have yet to see a single source saying ariete has commanders thermal lmao. keep thinking ariete has citv and t80bv and 80u having thermals and make me look better :)
I have Seen alot of these T72's in syria since i lived there and a fun fact about it that soldiers sometimes use sidewalk bricks coated with metal as these armoured plates and its very affective against anti tank rpgs and sometimes they put sandbags with constrction blocks and wrap them up with construction wires surrounding hatches to protect the crew while inspecting the area or leaving the tank also a rare one i saw had an ak47 mounted at the driver seat hatch as a secondary machine gun wiht drum mags
Dam. Id love to see pictures of that. That's inane
u mean rpk right?
@@Xelogenic could easily be just AKs
Nice
Really now?
Not that I’m surprised. There are many unconventional methods to improvise. A friend of mine in the Philippines told me about how their army used cardboard as extra armor for their tanks at Marawi to guard against AT weapons
Ah yes, one of my favorite MBTs. Truly a modern day T-34
I saw a T-72 in Saumur during the Carrousel of 2019
4:06 understatement of the year. Export models have brought down the reputation of the vehicle thanks to both Gulf Wars.
I wouldn’t say results would’ve been much different tbh,maybe like 50-100 M1A1s would’ve been lost at most.

Imagine the t72 variants from other countries, that would be hell. or fun.

T72M4CZ Variant would be cool. Its one of the most advanced variations of T72. New Fire control system, thermals, better armor and new gearbox so it can go bacwards around 18km/h. Some tank crew actually leaked some of the real stats on the WT forums XD.

@@unclesam5733 one czech T72 got one 30 mm installed instead of 14,5 mm KORD and one slovak T72 got two 20 mm cannons installed instead of 14,5 mm KORD.

Idk about Czech republic I guess they are buying Abrams Sep 3 but what I know is that Slovak republic is buying Leopard A7 and are trying to wait for 2033 to buy Leopard A7+.
I've only seen the T-72A in a musuem, cant remember where. Really big thing.
T-72 is made with a low profile in mind. The M60, and even more so, the Abrams, is larger. I got to see the M60 in person and it is a beast, however it is the only tank I can recall seeing in person.
@@MPdude237 Yeah it was really big to me cause I was 3'8 at the time- 6 years old.
Yes I have seen a T-72. Sin in the video, the T-90 is not a carry over modernization project from the Soviet Era. That project was cancelled. However, many things from that project were married to things from the T-80UK and that project was eventually entered into service as the T-90
I cant enjoy the T-72B because the uptier, where everybody have thermals except me. And I haven't mentioned the stock HEAT-FS.
Basically everything has heatsf as Stock, but nato tanks usually dont have ERA as the Russians have, so its a lot more pain with a nato tank
ouch
never show your side armor
@@zamky7516 played one NATO tank (leo2k) but thats really not the case tbh, the more snappier and faster nato tanks duke out even the heavily armored T72B (used to be my main tank before quitting wt)
I have a pro tip. Use HE instead of HEAT-FS. Really. Russian top tier HE rounds are really good
Ive seen three of the serbian modifications for the t72
Would be nice to have them in game

I was lucky enough to go on a trial ride in the commanders hatch in a T72 on a military festival. I gotta say it was pretty heckin' awesome! :D
Probably the most battle hardened tank ever
I saw my first T-72M export version at bovington tank museum I love its aggressive looks, big 125 gun, low profile great looking aggressive tracks, and its engine that has attitude sound to it

Interesting
What army did you serve in?
I'm Syrian and YES...I have seen nearly every cold war era USSR vehicle. gotta say the T72 is by far my favourite.
actually a friend of mine who used to play War Thunder with me, just joined the army and he told me that he's now training on T72 maintenance as an engineer.
would love to see you mention the Tank v Tank action in Lebanon war between the Syrians and the Israelis. it has many interesting events. for example it is said that a Syrian tanker leaped out of his T72 and kissed it after winning an engagement against an Israeli tank force.
Q: where can I write my ideas for a new update?
For example:
"will ever capture points heal the damaged crew other than repleneshing the dead ones?"
I wouldnt mind them healing crew while on friendly capture points but they shouldn't replenish dead ones
@@ivanvukadin3194 It only replenishes one and its something you have to research, so I think it's pretty good
@@milesperhour9256 research med kit

I love it. Fantastic stuff. Finally, almost thirty years later, all the stuff I learned from reading Jane's Armoured Fighting Vehicle Recognition Guide [various editions, starting in the early nineties] has finally paid off. Now, all I gotta do is get me this game, and/or something to play it on/.
You gonna address the massive exodus of players to other games because of the rewards nerf?
The grind is now a pain in the ass because of this new "economy update". And they already know a bunch of people are outraged and they try to hide it.
Funny thing i have more fun grinding on tier 2 tanks than the higher ones which were supposed to be the best ones.
I went to AAF Museum in Virginia and saw a T-72M1. It originally was a Soviet made T-72 that was given to the german eastern blockade. It was given a desert camouflage sadly but it was still an amazing sight and a very rare one as well. :D
I have driven 2 versions of the T-72. The T-72B1 and the T72UA1, they were great to drive around but the airconditioning needed to be worked on, Mesfin enginnering had tweaked some of them but they were still ovens for me.
Will we see the T72UA1 in game? It's a great tank and it balances it's self out. I can help with any tweaking you might need

Lower repair cost pls?

Ive seen a t-72 at arsenalen in sweden. The tank was one of the five t-72s that we bought from germany after the reunification.
I got to ride a T-72 at a tank muesum in Queensland, Australia. Stood in the commanders hatch, sadly wasn't allowed to sit inside it but still was fun.
I’ve seen two different T72A tanks, an Iraqi T72A in the Virginia armor museum and a T72A in the Bovington tank museum. I love the tank and of course I have almost every T72 in game, missing the B1989…add more in folders :)
I have actually seen a t-72a in person and I got to see inside and touch it it was such a beautiful piece of machinery and I’m glad I hat to play as it in war thunder and I even got to see it fire 🔥 and this was not in the USA it was in Russia of course so I do very much recommend getting it in game! Thank you war thunder for being such an amazing game!!!!
Back when I was a kid I saw the T72 at our victory day parades and even a few years before I moved to Germany this tank still attended these same parade's which I always found interesting since many countries changed their tanks but my uncle explained to me that there were many different variants and that he himself drove the A variant as a conscript.
I can't say that I have seen a T72 but my first section Sergeant told me a story about one he saw while he was infantry... He was in Bosnia during the late '90s at a bridge early one morning. A Paladin 155mm self propelled gun was nearby when a T72 came around a bend out of the fog. The Paladin slewed its gun around and blew the T72 to bits at what was essentially point blank range.
Yugoslavia doesn't have T72 but M84 which is copy of them. m84A tank is just similar to T72m1 but have better FCS
The t 72 should have a lower repair cost because it was really cheap irl and was made at high numbers
Or remove reapir costs
"free backups"
*you know how many T-72s are in game*
I counted 6 covered in the video, counting the T-90
Actually changed my mind
could we get a memorial for 2and900 in game?
When I was in military service in Finland in 1996-1997 T72M1 version was main battle tank in Finland.
Hope 1 day you add also the M-84AS2, one of the best looking T-72 modernizations
Its funny that T-72s are still in service in my country XD
@Joseph Walsh modernised*
@Joseph Walsh well slovakia uses the soviet union variant
Bruh Bosnia uses M-84's (domestic T-72), T-55's and M-60's lol but also has AMX-30 and T-34/85 as a reserve so you think your army is bad 😂
*Disclaimer I do think that these tanks I mentioned above are useful, they can't oppose top notch modern tanks but they still pack a punch*
beautiful😩
The Tank Museum in El Past Texas has a T-72 sitting out in the front along side a V2 rocket. Some amazing hardware there at Fort Bliss.
I had the pleasure of sitting in one at a commanders position, in Yugoslav (now Croatian) variant M-84A.
Essentialy it is a T-72B without ERA and with modernized fire control system and more powerful engine.
Yeah, we have them in Slovenia also...
Maybe Gaijin can add the Iraqi Lion of Babylon T-72 at BR 8.7 due to the fact it was cheaper downgraded variant of T-72A with less armor and it would get only the basic 3BM9 ammo as its "top shell" (if even that if we are being historically accurate).
ah yes..... an 8.0 T-72
Ive never seen one with turret on.
Yeah I recommend to stop watching western propoganda channels and you will see Russian tanks destroy Ukranian villages.
I've seen Bosnian army M-84 (Yugoslav variant of T-72) along with T-55's.
Both of these vehicles are beautiful machines!
Malaysia has the PT-91M. Its a sight to behold. And definitely, the T72 has stood the test of time.
Wow they actually have turrets?

M84 and it's upgraded variants over t72. M84 is literally licensed produced T72A in Yugoslavia with automatic leading system and a few more things.
I don't think I've ever seen one myself, but the Czech Republic does use the T-72M4-CZ which is a Czech modification of the tank that features many of the original Soviet parts replaced by newer Czech parts. It would be great to see it ingame, maybe as a part of a Visegrád Group tech tree.
What difference does it have over other variants tho?
@@swaggercompany6752 Better powerplant, improved fire controll system (Same as TURMS-T) and Czech DYNA ERA.
You should add a feature that when you land you can change your ordnance loadout. Lets say I was playing a F-4 Phantom and I was bombing away at tanks and now there are enemy aircraft in the skies, I could fly back to base a rearm with a Air to Air loadout instead. Maybe when you land it brings up the "respawn" interface but you can only change the loadout for your plane, or you to change the loadout it might be a certain amount of Spawn Points. Just a idea that might change how the game is played and add more diversity to the battles.
So are you Lads over at Gaijin going to give us East German T-72's soon?
There is liberally no reason for germany to recieve them other than they had them irl. Germany doesnt need additional vehicle when compared to sweden or italy or china.please tell me why you think its a good idea to add them.
