The turret is similar, the hull is different yes, but different how I wonder?
I do like the ammo, I doubt the cool stuff will be added to it though, they would have to up the BR above Stryker I think. If they did add it- being able to sense someone shooting at us wont help much vs a 120mm sabot.(only against 30mm)
Not ideal. if there were terrorist trying to shoot it with rpg’s maybe.
LOL!
The fact you call USA “Russia” is hilarious bigotry.
I want M10 Booker cause M900 light tank is what I’ve been wanting for my top USA lineup for a while.
America is America, and Americans are Americans.
Not Russia.

We already have a light vehicle with the m900 troll. I bet your name is Vladimir jk lol this was just a joke. Can we please have some humor lol
I’m not trying to be rude, but I’m not sure what you’re getting at honestly. It’s an “assault gun” (label from the army) with a heavily modified ASCOD hull with a custom turret that was designed to be similar to the Abrams for training purposes which means the crew should be spaced out decently and will have blow out panels so it should have decent survivability. Not to mention a forward engine. As I said before, it has solid ammo so it should be able to penetrate most things in-game. Good optics, the acoustic sensor, etc. I think that’s pretty different in a positive way.
I’m asking about hull armor. I could have just said that. So my apologies. I’m curious about the armor layout & design &materials, etc. (DU,ALM,STEEL) this tank may be super well armored because how the heck could this thing weigh 42 tons? That would change my mind.
I would be fine if it’s added, I just don’t see how it would help. That’s all. I would still use it for sure.
It’s not a light tank. Stop saying that. It weighs 42 tons with the same speed as the Abrams. It has no weight advantage.
It’s a light tank for the purposes of War Thunder.
you know the PUMA a IFV weighs around the same
No it’s not. It has no speed advantage which is a requirement for light vehicles/tanks.
I had no clue. That’s interesting.
I just googled this, with the best added puma armor is 43 tons - base is 23 tons.
The booker is 42tons before any armor addition
I believe it’s 42 t base.maybe not though
Gotcha, well hull armor wise I think it’s likely similar to the ASCOD family. Likely composites to deter small arms fire, up to 30mm APFSDS at a range of 500m, +/- 30 degrees on frontal arc (STANAG 4569 Level 6) which means up close this thing is probably a bit better than in-game CV9030FIN (just for comparison purposes). With add on armor, which we don’t know about yet, probably comparable to the 9040C but we’ll see. I haven’t seen anything on DU, it’s highly likely it’s just adaptable composite armor.
Well, the original replacement was the Airborne M8. But that was only scrapped due to congress wanting to shrink the spending.
They should make the M10 10.0 like the 2S25M lmao
(Honestly they both belong at 10.7+ if we’re being honest here)

We’ll probably have an early and late version. The one that was suggested and a series-production variant with the APS and addon armor package which will change things up a bit. 10.3 (or 10.7) and 11.0 probably.
Dude it’s a Light tank weight has nothing to do with the vehicle.
The M4 Sherman weighs around 33->35. Depending on the variant. But this also means it has the armor.
M24: around 19 tons
The M41 Bulldog weighs around 23 but that’s also because it’s essentially a glass cannon.
The M1A2 Abrams: 62.5 , M48 Patton tank: 49.6 tons and M46 Patton(M26E2): 48.5 tons
M10 booker in terms of weight comes to a 38–42. However, its armor is why it classifies it as a light tank and we will call it as we see it. So deal with it.
Also yes I’m aware the US Army calls it an SPG. However, I don’t care what they call it, it’s only really classified as such so tank crews don’t go on a joy ride and start engaging tanks.
M10 is faster, more armor, and better gun depression & movement. Should be at least 0.3 higher.
