Typhoon-VDV vs Top-Tier MBTs:
Frontal kills on Leopards, M1A1s, and other top-tier tanks are impossible — its 30 mm or MGs can’t penetrate their composite armor.
However, with ATGMs or modern HEAT rounds, the Typhoon can destroy them from the side, rear, or top, especially through ammo racks or engine decks.
Use flanking and ambush tactics — never frontally engage.
note the BR of 9.3 to 10.3 Of it should be enough for the goods it has
