We would like to present you a new researchable module for one of the top tanks of the USSR/Russian armored vehicle tech tree – an explosive reactive armor set for the T-80B.
In the previous War Thunder update, we introduced T-80B, a top main battle tank of the USSR/Russian tech tree. In update 1.83 Masters of the Sea, we will introduce a new researchable module for this vehicle – the Kontakt-1 add-on explosive reactive armor. It will significantly boost the tank’s defense against HEAT projectiles, such as chemical rounds and anti-tank guided missiles. In combination with the main passive armour of the vehicle, this will provide increased anti-HEAT protection of up to 850-900 mm, helping it to withstand fire from even the most powerful ATGMs.
You can read about explosive armor and how it works in our devblog.

T-80B (1978): This model had a new turret, laser rangefinder, fire-control, and autoloader allowing the firing of 9M112-1 Kobra antitank guided missile (80% hit probability while stopped and on the move),[17] and improved composite armour. An improved, 1,100-hp, engine was added in 1980, a new gun in 1982, and fittings for reactive armour in 1985. Reactive armour added protection of 400 mm equivalent armour to defend against HEAT warheads. http://worldweapon.ru/tank/t80.php
Neat! That'll show those long rod penetrators!
Nice addition! Now it only needs Shtora-1 AP System! When will you develop APS on MBTs?
APS on tanks wold be so OP, so I'd rather we not have it. Next to this, multiple MBTs ingame only got APS later (M1A2, Chally 2 etc)
Artyom134, It really wouldn't be that OP. Heli's are such a pain to fight against it would give you a good counter.
hey Gajin can you please add the famous German auxiliary cruiser Atlantis (well kwon as a corsair ship)

You guys never learn...
I wish you'd add the AMX-40 because french top tier is absolute torture right now, and literally No one thinks otherwise
It looks Badass with the ERA!
