IPM1 Battle rating

And Japan has no 10.7 tanks so OBVIOUSLY the Type90 should go down now we have the TKX(P) at 11.0… RIGHT?
Nobody cares that USA has a tiny gap at 10.7, go look at some of the other tech trees, Japan goes from 9.7 to 11.0
France goes from 9.7 to 11.7
Sweden goes from 10.3 to 11.3 (well 11.0 if you include the squadron tank)
And those are just the top rank gaps, the game is balanced by performance, not players line up wishlist so “But I wan’t to put it in a line up with my A-10 and not get the A-10 up-tiered” is not a valid argument for balancing.

Looking back at my attempt at decompression, I think I reached the same general idea:

Could be debatable, the M1A1 has an edge in mobility whereas the Click-Bait and HC only have a relatively niche advantage in cheek armour.

T-90A is one of the least played MBT’s exactly because it’s such a poor vehicle.

It combines all the worst aspects of the T-64/72/80 into one awful package without any of the upsides. The IPM1 and M1A1 at 10.7 ate the T-90A for breakfast.

Only if the IPM1 was reduced to having M833 or M774.
