Main Battle Tank

The T-80 Tank is the Russian unique tank of the Information Age Information Age that replaces the standard Main Battle Tank.

Overview[]

Compared to the Main Battle Tank, the T-80 Tank costs -10 Metal Metal and Oil Oil, but lacks the 15% damage bonus against Artillery Weapons that other tanks have.

When attacking, the unit fires two different attacks: the main tank cannon, and a machine-gun-like attack. The latter does no damage, and is cosmetic only (the game file unit_graphics.xml even specifies this attack as NoDamage Tracer).

Trivia[]

  • The T-80 Tank is modeled after its namesake.
    • The model is also used for the Main Battle Tank used by the Chinese and Mongols.
    • According to the game files, the Bantu, Egyptians and Nubians are supposed to use a desert version of the T-80 tank, but due to an issue caused by the Main Battle Tank Upgrade Bug, while playing as those nations, a human player gets the Challenger 1 model and computer players can get either the Challenger 1 or a desert version of the T-80.
  • The T-80 Tank reuses the Main Battle Tank's icon.
