T-80 hull is better than the T-72s, the engine is because it doesn't need the get-up-and-go like a gas turbine.

Did you just.

Both T-72 and T-80 are direct descendants of the T-64 and share its hull design. The only serious difference, other than armor scheme, is the suspension.

Thats one of the reason why its better?

So when you are hit by a some EFPs because your crummy air defense is being raped by HARM and your 'super flankers' are being picked out of the sky at 40km, at least your SPGs won't be killed by the first EFP to hit you.

Yes. As long as you get the works. anti-air gun, anti-air missile, radar, thermal tracker when you're being threatened by HARM, howitzer, tank destroyer, mortar, an of course tank.

From looking at this thread, NS has a disproportionate amount of countries able to afford very expensive, modern equipment. I will chalk this down as an affect of having several billion people in one's population.

Some people prefer to RP their nation as backwards/poor/old and so they don't use the best of the best.

Most like to build their ideal military so it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise when the majority of their kit is top of the line.

That is very true. However, some nations don't RP as being lolhueg with disproportionately large militaries and disproportionately advanced equipment, and they like to be somewhat reasonable. (Myself included, even if I come up with lolridikulus concepts now and then.)

Pretty much this. Whether a Nazi nation, evil nation, or good nation most people prefer the idea of some sort of well equipped elite military force. You can find guys who use second rate equipment but it is less common because most people like their fantasy nation to have a "elite" military with the best training and equipment.

Any western country can afford decent equipment. Some just have less of it.

That's kind of the reason I used to have two, but I never RP, so I didn't use it. The main one would've been the ideal one, and the other one the poor and backward one. Thought RPing as a poor & backward one would be more interesting. But, like I said, I typically don't RP, I just wanted to put something into the factbook.

Yeah, that's what I would think. I had another nation that I planned on RPing that way with, but never got around to it. I think it was The Almation Islands.
