ldal Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 I'm working on a T-80bv 3d model, but i can't find a good reference picture or video of the autoloader's ejection hatch for the animations. Ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty Welcome to SH, Idal. Are you sure that the T-80 ejects its spent casings automatically? I know the T-62 and T-72 both do, but I was actually under the impression that in the T-64 autoloader the spent cases are returned to the autoloader rather than pitched overboard. T-80 has a similar autoloader design to T-64, so it may also retain the spent cases. At about 0:25 you can see what I think is the case stub. It appears to get raised to clear the breech line when the next round is loaded, and then disappears. I think back down into the autoloader.

LoooSeR Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 MoD announced today (14.11) that Omsktransmash and St.Petersburg Special Design Bureau of Transport Engineering will repair and modernize T-80BVs with new FCS (Sosna-U), armor and improve engine. First vehicles will be delivered to MoD in 2017. Mike E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramlaen Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Are T-80's capable of using the newer longer APFSDS without modification? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoooSeR Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 hard to tell, AFAIK no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramlaen Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 hard to tell, AFAIK no. Another (speculative) question, do you think the improved engine will be a modification of the gas turbine or something like the new 1130HP diesel?

Collimatrix Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Earlier in the thread I looked up the stated footprint of the GTD-1250 vs the AGT-1500, and they're pretty comparably sized. It would have to be a really tiny diesel that could fit into the same footprint as the T-80's gas turbine without needing to enlarge the engine deck. Fofanov's site seems to imply that the steering drive of the T-80 is packaged with the engine (I dunno, because reasons), so the actual engine part of the engine may be very small indeed. The "improved engine" may be the GTD-1250. Compared to the old GTD-1000, GTD-1250 is supposed to give a very large improvement in mobility, in part because of the extra power, and in part because of a more advanced steering drive (continuously variable double differential vs single radius).

It completely slipped my mind that the T-80BV's would have an older GTD engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely. Text indicates some sort of modification to increase fuel efficiency. T-80BVs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
