I gave in to my love for the T-55 as a tank... And bought the T-55AM-1. What a very nice choice. It is great fun to play. And very good looking :D It has been the bane if many of my Maus matches, but now having it I can see all its advantages and disadvantages I can now understand how in many duels with my Maus against them I could win.
Try playing the clickbait in arcade, it's so ridiculously overpowered right now. You get full downtiers 90% of the time, and you play almost exclusively against new players who bought either 10.3 or 11.3 premium tanks. On top of that, arcade doesn't have nation based teams, meaning that American teammates won't lower your winrate.
Also bought clickbait, it is a very good tank, except the fu**ing turret ring. Teamates are also awful, I got a decent 2:1 kdr with 18% winrate, thats absurd
@@MJA-0330clickbait and oes are just copypaste 2a4m straight mid. 90 is good but is still copypaste. UD is ptw. Raam segol is copypaste mid. Ue1 slightly ptw. Classic soviet bias. U doesnt normally have thermals only prototypes. Not all are PTW only pay to progress. Pay to lose since you have only 1 tank in your lineup.
The ERA on the T80UK sits behind the shtora-1 so armor is nearly the same plus the UK has 2 more smokes a programmable HE and LWS In my opinion its a solid tank but if you already got to either the T80U or the T72B3 and you have the squad T80 then you dont need it because the T80UK does exactly the same
The amount of hits this thing can bounce is gloriously obscene. It's almost feels like it was purpose-built for a lazy, forty-something dude like me who still loves WT but can't be bothered to keep up with the sweats by relying on actual skill. $60 is chump change to be able to smash the W key, eat half a dozen rounds to the face, and click braindead Leopards back to the spawn screen.
its not the armour that is the problem, its the US top tier players base. They rush the map thinking they're in desert strom and complain when they die in the first 10 seconds of the map because they over extended themselves and got killed by a T-72AV. the situation is the same with the Tiger 1h players who think they're Michael Wittmann. Its a skill issue stituation with the abrams just compare the win-rate of the US in 5.7 to the 10.0 win-rates.
@@luizviniciusvieiraalexandr4979 thats one issue but the other issue is how each abrams after the m1a1 in the us tree is literally the same. of course later variants of the abrams' armour would get better, but in gaijins case, its all the same. and i can see why; the US army wont reveal any documents for obvious reasons. but still annoying either way
Good tank, but nothing really stands out on it, like so many of the other premium T-80s. The only non TT T-80 that’s interesting is the UM2 and that one’s a long gone event vehicle.
Would you want to pay $70 to not have at least a slight competitive advantage? By no means does gen2 thermals make or break the game. In fact for $70 the thing should fire nuclear tipped rounds. Would you pay $70 to upgrade the thermals by 1 gen on any tank of your choosing? Would you consider the change a well worth it cost? Be happy that’s all the tank gets “extra” because for the price it should be unquestionably better in every category than any other tank in the game. Gen2 is pay to win, maybe it’s a skill issue.
@@joshharris2793 idk but german premium players are way worse. I play sweden with germans and, man, every game fucking turms teams beat the crap out of us.
@@K1ng_Rat idk I usually just do everything myself as a German player, it really isn’t hard to play to the strengths of the leopard 2 but I guess most German players are stuck in their tiger phase of rush and think your invincible
I’m wanting to grind out Russia now. I have Germany 9.0 and USA 7.0. My Russia is only as 3.0 so what I’m wondering is do I go for the t55am-1 or this? The t55 will allow me to have a line up with it sooner but also grind less of the tree.
If you are ready to waste a bunch of money i would recommend getting a good 10.0 premium vic lineup instead. Russia has a stupid high amount of really good 10.0 vics. T72 turms, T80UD, 2S38, BMP2M which is a squadron but still, and then you can top it off with the SU25K if you want CAS.
Bro you dont have to take 2 million sabots I just take 8 and when I need more I go to a capture point and reload it makes ammo racks extremely hard to do on any T series tank and the T90M damn its nearly impossible with only 8 rounds yes you can take up to 10 but 8 is the best
@@Mehmet.akif.basoglu Sure, but remember to use backups for the E1, the team needs you to be efficient. No 1 death quits. If you know what you are doing I suppose you could pick E1 over UD in your case.

it has a knack for having its ammo not blow it up
therefore buy it
stg the new autoloader module eats up so much damn spalling, talk about a stealth buff
50% off maybe worth buying. I just bought the Clickbait at 50% for the summer sale. No way am I paying full price on these high BR premiums.
did the same, played 2 games as USA, and ye im not doing that again

Very well done review thanks mate
This is like a budget BVM with the improved gun handling and thermals lol
As usual.. no buy without your video first! Thank you for this review and your opinion. And this time, I will wait for a Sale.
you can fill up the carousel because it don't matter how many are in it

11.3 premium broke the game for me. I get them in 10.3 and 11.7 😂 full noob team at top tier, I've found a lvl 6 player with one of these.
At their respective br between the T80UE1 and the T80UD which one is better?
Ue1
UD
First, nice tank also
Yes lad 🇬🇧
should i buy this over t80UD
No, if you dont have lineup for it (T80U/UK or T72B3) And also if you do own Turms, and or 2S38, then T80UD is great addition for good premium lineup.
