>>27741580Ex US Army tank crewman here. I've been inside of various T55s and 62s and have talked extensively with others who have engaged T-72s in combat. I've also have had talks with emigres who had armor experience. Shit, even one of my own cousins commanded a company of T55s in the old country.
Judging from prior experiences, i would be thinking long and hard if i ever had to crew a T-72 of any model. It' might be a good fighting tank, but god help you if the hull gets penetrated from virtually any angle.
