    I am surprised you managed to boot the game on an Intel card.

    I also have a laptop with an Intel HD620, and the fact how well this game runs on this very very low end card shows how outdated the graphics is.

    It is generic the Eastern Front had more field telephones operating or they work with flares.

    Flares are out of the question: it was not a preplanned position and you cannot transfer coordinates or adjusments with flares.

    Field phones would work in an abstract way, but in this case they would have comms with the company CO.

     The most significant features of the T-80 over the T-72 are its gas turbine engine and ability to fire anti-tank guided missiles (T-80B and later variants) in the same manner as ordinary rounds. 

    IMHO the most significant feature of the T-80B compared to the 72 is the more advanced fire control system.

     

    "Unlike the rather outdated 1A40-1 fire control system used in the T-72B, the 1G43 features fully automatic lead calculation and automatic gun superelevation. What this means is that the aiming chevron at the center of the sight picture remains static as the FCS adjusts the elevation to account for ballistic drop and adjusts the orientation of the turret to account for lead. The sight is not displaced sideways as the gun is adjusted for lead, thanks to the 2-axis stabilizer in the 1G42 - the horizontal stabilizer rotates the sight aperture to compensate for the shifted orientation of the turret, thus allowing the gunner to maintain an unchanged view of the target."
