Description
- Available at start after building a Tank Supplystation.
- Can engage vehicles, buildings, infantry and -if close enough- helicopters and low flying jets.
- Not as effective against other targets as it is against armour.
- Has a long range but a low view sight.
- Takes a great deal of time to reload after firing its Sabot shells.
- Armed with an ATGM that can make short work of most armoured targets.
Usage
- It can take out most tanks with two or more shots.
- Should be used to support other vehicles.
- Ought to be used as a tank killer.
- They can shoot at infantry, but that doesn't mean you should use them solely for that purpose.
- Their armour can take more punishment that the average armour, so you can use them in the frontline without worrying.
- It can shoot at helicopters and low flying jets only if they are above them.
Against Infantry
Reasonable damage.
Against Tanks
Able to deal with all types of tanks and armoured targets.
Against Buildings
Good damage, but due to its slow rate of fire it should not be used solely for that purpose.
How to defend against
- Low-tech Anti-Tank missiles are only effective against it in numbers.
- High-tech Anti-Tank missiles are good against it, so use them to your advantage.
- Helicopters can deal easily with them.
- Anti-Tank vehicles like the Humvee TOW and BRDM-2 AT-5 Spandrel can make short work of them, but they are vulnerable if faced directly with the T-80BV, so fire at them from afar.
- Base defenses and garrisoned structures are a good defense against T-80BVs.
