I think it is one of those things where the original OOB of FG85 was designed with the T80 having them, probably a misunderstanding between the common assumption that all T80s had TIS (this mistake has been made before in tank sims and other genres). FG85 was then built around this feature which created a play balance of sorts. DF85 could take the TIS flag away but then it would probably require additional soviet reinforcements to arrive gradually from the Byelorussian Military Dist. to compensate with numbers. But maybe those additional forces are not required. The best thing to do is probably just remove the flag and see what happens to play balance. The effect on balance will probably be negligible because it would prevent the soviets from doing anything at night where as they may have been able to attack with T80s at an advantage during the night.
Anyway, from your quote above, I don't think anyone disagrees that it is has always been questionable whether the T80s should have the TIS flag but what does not make sense is why you want to add another "glaring flaw" to the OOB with soviet tanks having the amphibious capability? Or, are you just on a witch hunt?
