Why you for an example have brought these tanks? In fact it is necessary to examine equal tanks which have appeared approximately during one time:

BECAUSE they were the first ones I found at random AND they are available in in their respective OOB's in 1979-1980 which was the date YOU picked

1980

Leopard 1A4 etc. stabilizer 4
Chieftain Mk 9 stabilizer 4
M60A3 Patton stabilizer 4
etc

All these tanks have appeared approximately in one and too time together with T-80 - 1978-79.

Yes.. SO ?? It appears that no matter what is entered into any other nation for any reason if the Russian OOB does not at least match that then there is a demand for a change. Did it ever occur to you that MAYBE these other tanks were judged to have better stabilizers ?? If you look at the entire game as a whole you will find there IS fairness here. You may not like it but it's fair none the less.

I upgraded the early t-62 stabilizes. All the rest stay as is. If you are not happy with that decision then open up the OOB with MOBHack and make changes until all things Russian are to your expected standards

Hi Marcello.

All these tanks were developed all over again by different design offices. In 1963 its updating T-64T with the engine from the helicopter has been created simultaneously with T-64.
There is a set of Russian sources of information in which is written, that certainly T-64 strongly differs from T-80 - but T-80 has been created on the basis of tank T-64.
Here small translation from foreign journal "International Defense Review" #6 1987 year.
"Serially made from the beginning of 80th years tank T-80 is the further development of tank T-64..."
Certainly the Russian tanks have all among themselves much in common - but are allocated among other two schools of a tank-building. Last years tanks T-80 were issued on the Omsk factory and in Kharkov, and tanks T-72, T-90 - on a factory in Nizhni Tagil.

Yours faithfully
