Upcoming ground vehicles of War Thunder update 1.81: Char 25t and T-80B
T-80B (USSR/Russia)
The T-80 is a Soviet main battle tank which was developed in the mid 1970s and was the first massively manufactured MBT in the world to be powered by a multi-fuel turbine engine. The T-80B will become available to experienced tankers at the top ranks of the Soviet ground forces tree with the release of update 1.81! Equipped with “Cobra” ATGMs and an additional 30 mm of armour plating in the front hull, the T-80B is a very fast and agile tank, with a 125 mm smoothbore cannon and composite armour. The T-80B sports two types of APFSDS shells, capable of penetrating over 470 mm of armour. It can additionally be armed with HE shells, HEAT shells, and anti-tank guided missiles. A decisive top-tier hero for high ranked battles, the T-80B rolls onto War Thunder’s battlefields with major update 1.81!
Batignolles-Châtillon Char 25t (France)
The Batignolles-Châtillon 25t is a French light tank prototype, developed in the 1950s as a replacement for the AMX-13. Although French military officials didn’t give the prototype a passing grade, War Thunder tankers will be sure to find it as a new favourite among the numerous new vehicles coming to the game with update 1.81!
The first thing many tankers will correctly observe on the Char 25t is its increased size over the AMX-13. Although this engineering decision would increase the vehicle’s overall weight significantly, it did create more room in the hull, which allowed the crew count to be increased by one and the armour protection to be increased up to 50mm as well. Compensating for the heavier weight of the vehicle is a 500 horsepower engine, allowing the Char 25t to reach an excellent top speed of 65 km/h on paved roads, both forwards and in reverse! Getting to a good position early on in a random battle is certainly an advantage, but it’s arguably of no good use if you don’t have a good gun to make the most out of it. Fortunately, the Char 25t doesn’t disappoint in this aspect either. Being outfitted with a 90mm cannon, coupled with an autoloading mechanism, the Char 25t is more than well equipped to wreak havoc among the enemy, especially when operating at the flanks and engaging targets up to medium distances.

its always nice to see some new French Tanks, much apreciated Dev-Team ^^
Thank you Gaijin but PLEASE don't make it as wobbly as the AMX-13. I've seen videos of the thing IRL and it's nowhere as wobbly as it is in-game. Even when driving at 3kph you need 3 seconds for the gun to stabilize...
And all I want is an AMX10RC and a Gazelle :(
Love you, Mighty Snail! T-80B finally! I now just hope you'll balance it properly with Type 90 and 2A4 as it's again a much older model than those two (perhaps a T-80U would be more apt, though of course we know that Soviet and Russian tanks of the same age are superior so maybe it wouldn't be fair after all).
T-72 please
FINALLY a fast Soviet MBT! When will we get the T-72 next?
T80B is after T64B ? Or alone same of Abrams ?
they share a page? really?
It seems this year's Gamescom bring us double devblogs, like with the helis.
gszabi99_HUN, Its still better than 1 vehicle. Just saying.
Oh yes, finally we will get the fist of the best Soviet MBTs. Looking so much forward to finally drive a soviet high rank MBT with 25HP/t, a good reverse gear and turning time and 70kph )))))
.....I hope not this is the last devblog.....
