T-72 is the low cost tank for large war and all its models have simplified fire control system:
T-72 - optical rangefinder (DPT-2-49) + simple stabilizer (2E28М)
T-72A - laser rangefinder (DPT-K1) + simple stabilizer (2E28М)
T-72B - laser rangefinder (DPT-K1) + improved stabilizer (2E42-2) + simple fire control (1A40-1) + ATGM (9K120)
T-72B1 - like T-72B without ATGM
T-72BM - like T-72B
So, as for me, the FC and Stab values must be decreased slightly. I have tried to collect data from all Soviet MBT fire control systems in one table for comparison:

TPD-43B, TPD-2-49 - optical rangefinders
TPD-K1, 1G42, 1G46 - laser rangefinders
1A33 - normal fire control system
1A40 - simple fire control system
1A45 - improved fire control system
