This is why manual transmissions aren't a good choice for a Main Battle Tank, but Russians gonna Russia. When you need to back up, and you need to back NOW, you waste precious seconds trying to select a gear. Pro Tip, when you are the Tank Commander, you don't get to bail out on your crew. If the Tank takes a hit, you do too. That TC is a cunt that will never have his crews' respect again.
The T-80 Main Battle Tank's design was based off of the earlier T-64, as opposed to being created from scratch. The T-64 however, had been a rather revolutionary design in Soviet armor, offering a great jump from the earlier T-54.
