 In general use, sticking by teammates and playing support can immensely increase your effectiveness in this vehicle, as oftentimes your teammates may see a target, but fail to destroy it. In such a case, you can quickly finish them off, or assist teammates in tricky situations, where an extra gun is needed. This strategy has immense potential in urban areas or other maps with tight or cramped high-traffic areas. With that said, it's also best to remember that your reverse speed is subpar, so if you push, do so cautiously, as you'll seldom find yourself lucky enough to pull out of a bad spot.
-As for the Hard-Kill Active Protection system, while it may save you from time to time, it won't see a great deal of use in this BR range, as the presence of missiles will not be as significant, alongside the fact that you'll be playing on the nation which makes the greatest use of ATGMs. It also can be rather hit-or-miss when it comes to stopping ordinance from helicopters. Play this vehicle while remembering that the APS is meant to save you if you're caught out, rather than granting invulnerability to ATGMs and helicopters. As for ERA, it is advisable to treat it with a similar regard when it comes to stopping APFSDS rounds. While many of the rounds you'll face can be stopped by Contact-5, many of the top rounds from your opponents will cut right through without any issue. It is best to keep this fact in consideration when deciding whether to push a position with confirmed hostiles in your midst. If possible, identify the threats before moving in, so that you may prioritize targets ahead of time and maximize your effectiveness.

 However, the lack of gunner's thermals leave it somewhat limited. The T-80UM2 will not typically fare well during night and evening battles compared to its contemporaries, due to the lack of TVD. As such, it would be wise to refrain from using this tank in darker environments whenever possible. Otherwise, the lack of thermals can be somewhat mitigated by sticking to areas with poor sightlines, such as urban areas or extremely hilly terrain, where the odds of being sniped are minimal, as you will not be able to pick out well-concealed targets as easily.

However, the worsening economy of Russia hindered any further development of this upgrade and the tank was only displayed during an equipment demonstration in 1997.

 Introduced during [[Update "Apex Predators"]] as a reward for the [[wt:en/news/8021-event-winter-quest-en|2022 Winter Quest]] event, T-80UM2 shares identical performance to T-80U while it now enjoys new Drozd APS to intercept incoming missiles to further enhance its survivability of the tank; with the new equipment onboard, T-80UM2 can be a replacement to T-80U while players can get on hand with the tank easily while players need to beware of its inferior FCS without TVD channel.

-Due to the lack of information about late-USSR equipment and the later Black Eagle program, the APS-equipped T-80U variant is in fact known to the Russian Army as the "T-80 with Drozd APS (ADS)". The UM2 prototype was one of the technological demonstrators for the UM upgrades of the T-80U series made in the 1990s, but economic problems seemingly hindered any further upgrades to the T-80U series.
