the armour of this thing is so good and trolly esp the side hull relikt and then spall liners literally everywhere and yes the reverse is bad but if you adapt you can become a monster -

Yes, i like it a lot as well and for some reason i dont understand it is one of my best performing top tier mbts.Yes, it has obvious downsides. the reload is sub par. reverse is basically non existent.
Well thats a good opportunity to learn not to overextent into situations where you would have to reverse out very quickly or you would have to deal with multiple enemies in a time span your reload cant handle. If you like to play more safe and support the players in your team that move faster and push further at the start of the game this thing slaps. Amazing armor, stabilized 3rd gen commander thermals, 1° better gun depression than t80s, lws, air tracking and like 6 pops of smoke plus ess can safe you countless times when you did get caught out and does lead to enemies overcommiting thinking they already got you when you popped smoke and then ess’d away and are just sitting there in your ess in thermal gunner sight waiting for them to appear out of the smoke in a blind push.
For me it feels like from tanks with such glaring downsides, if you learn how to handle those it makes you realize a lot more clearly when youre playing tanks that dont have these downsides, at which point you pushed too far or committed too much. Meaning it helps for playing those tanks as well
(lets take Abrams, T10s/TKX or Leclercs from the other end of the spectrum: Much more mobile, much better reload leads to getting yourself into situations where even your reverse and mobility cant handle. But, how would you have played in the same tactical situation in something like the t90m is the interesting part. You wouldnt even be that far out, you maybe wouldnt be sandwiched between several enemies trying to find a window to push you from multiple angles)
