The BTR-80A has finally arrived in War Thunder and I have always been curious when this vehicle and the others from its family would arrive in the game. Currently, it sits at a battle rating of 7.0 with some pretty lethal ammo that will decimate nearly anything. I hope you enjoy the video!

Is anybody else slightly disappointed that you can't hear the faint sound of hard bass when you drive this around?

In Hungary these are called "bunny bus". Bunnies are jumping from one bush/cover to another, just like infantrymen. And this is their bus.

The discussion about BTR as a law-enforcement vehicle reminds me of the line from Die Hard.

"The cops have themselves an RV!"

Was fun helping with this video, glad it came out well. Heck of a job to all involved

waiting for the stryker with literally just a 50 cal to be added (it will be put at 6.7 and somehow do really good)

12:10 Funny thing is, if the BTR-80 was German it could be called a Kampfwagen, which can be translated literally as “Struggle-bus”

I loved the distant M163 just shredding something apart at 15:35
Bro was Fr just going off on someone

I was that Hellcat you downed on Maginot! (As well as the super Pershing that scared the pants off Sturms) That match was the most fun I've had on that map in a long time, GG guys!

The real move with 2 pe-8s is to have the first guy spawn 30 seconds before the second guy and have him bomb an area with heavy enemy pressence. The second guy bombs the enemy spawn 30 seconds later 😈

I remember the original BTR-60 had an open top.

It's amazing what 20 years of advancement can do for the same vehicle on eight wheels.

2. The BTR-60 is the first vehicle in a series of Soviet eight-wheeled armoured personnel carriers (APCs). It was developed in the late 1950s as a replacement for the BTR-152 and was seen in public for the first time in 1961

The fight for survival against the waves at the beginning, had me laughing so hard

Stick, don't put yourself down. Even a twig when used appropriately can be a deadly weapon.

Great video! Nice to see the usual cast of hooligans gathered to make this video and a special guest appearance by Mr Noble who was marvelous as well!
