Nick! 33 Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 Okay, with 6 posts in a week, this might be the most active Team Yankee forum on the net! I'd thought I'd throw a question to the group: How do you feel about T-80's? You get a Nato-ish tank, but are paying Nato prices, and still only 1 shot from the main gun. You can even pay MORE points, but you get an actually decent skill rating, and are hit on 4's! What say you? Justjokin 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Justjokin 1,249 Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 I have yet to find a proper t-80 3d printed model, that being said, I'm really looking forward to this. I have T-55s and T-72s, and 3 Zvezda T-72s as well. I was buying 'Murica and wanted to have a home Soviet force to use for practice/player intro. I did buy my Hinds...

ZEKE 37 Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 To help offset the points of the T80s you have to go cheaper and more specific on your support options. To build this list I would start with a more specific support strategy. example: cheapest arty option (carnations) + cheapest AA option (gaskins) + cheapest recon (brdm2) + maybe a cheap infantry option This would be my preferred minimum. Then, with the points left over, see what I can do with the T80 tanks. And hopefully with a few points leftover to improve the support options. Yes, this may/will change your play style. Maybe play it closer to a nato style ??? Justjokin 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It may work, but it is still only 9 shots a turn with the same gun a T-72 or T-64 has. Also! Do you folks like Soviet artillery? The 5+ to range in is a pain, it it for anti- infantry work? Milan spam? Justjokin 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nick! 33 Posted March 27 Author Report Share Posted March 27 I just had a brilliant idea: are T-80's better as a support company for your Motor rifle battalion? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
