General

Also known a the T-72B1V, the T-72B1 m.1985 is the non-missile firing counterpart to the standard T-72BA. Equipped with the standard Kontact-1 reactive armor suite the modeled version features survivability improvements such as no stowed ammunition, slightly more protection for the ready ammunition in the carousel, and hull sponson fuel tanks filled with sand. Beginning with Steel Beasts Professional version 4.010 the T-72B1 m.1985 may be fully "bombed up" with stowed ammunition, thereby replicating a "combat ready" T-72B1V or T-72S, but with the commensurate greater risk of an ammunition explosion. Note that unlike the T-72B1 m.1984 additional stowed ammunition will not be visible in the interior view.

Beginning with revision 4.156 the T-72B1 m.1985 may be equipped with the Diehl Active Vehicle Protection System (AVePS) to enhance protection against RPG and ATGM threats.
