M10 probably won’t since its meant to be an airborne vehicle to support paratroopers. From my understanding though it’s probably gonna be assisting support units as well.
Yeah. Every time I think of the Abrams I’m shocked at how bad it is in game.
Every time I get my cheeks clapped by getting out loaded because they have the same 5 second reload as me but with a better round.
Every time I see 5 Abrams’ at my spawn I wonder why Gaijin never gave it the spall liner from the prototype and the DU hull form the 5 pilot vehicles and the SEP V.3.

Nah, that’s the minimum requirement.
I don’t believe a light tank with a little armor weighs 42 tons that’s BS. It’s likely just as armored as the Abrams. Just a lot smaller in size. -20 ton difference, that’s what I believe.
I played the v2 yesterday, I think gaijin has made small changes to it recently.
No it’s not faster. It has the same power to weight ratio
I disagree. There’s no evidence of the vehicle receiving DU armor, and its layout is highly similar to the ASCOD platform, I highly doubt that they inserted additional composites to make it MBT-like. Realistically. The platform weighs a lot more but because it does, doesn’t mean that the vehicle is loaded with all of this armor. We also don’t have the exact weight measurements anyway. Electronics, the new turret, new engine, there’s a lot that has gone into this that can make its weight very dynamic. If anything, the turret would’ve received the additional armor but the hull is still an ASCOD
I don’t believe you understand how much 42 tons is. Another thing is it gains no speed advantages. Why is this? We already have Bradley’s for troop movements and support. Why would we need a less armored tank? I’m not saying it has DU. I believe it to be way more armored than the passing qualifications though.
Electronics? The Bradley weighs 25- 30 tons. I would say the booker has similar weight to the newest Bradley in electronics. Where is the other 12 tons coming from?

105mm gun maybe
? A cannon weighs about 1 ton.
well it should be better armoured then the Bradley
12 tons of armor. This thing is probably the most armored tank we have lol 😂
Cool and the Chinese Type-15 is a light tank weighing over 33 to 35 tons. Your point is. Even then its armor is comparable to a Bradley at best. Trying to claim it comparable to an Abram makes me chuckle since you are not aware of how tank development goes for each country and there different mind sets.
The Bradley weighs 30 tons. How is it comparable?
The booker weighs 42tons

What is the USA’s mind set? It can’t weigh 42 tons because of empty space and electronics. Something makes it weigh that much.

The Russian t90 weighs 46 tons.
The Russian t90 weighs 46 tons. Maybe the bookers armor should be compared to the t90
no russian tanks are so light due to them makeing the tanks as compact as possible which leads to them being smaller but not alot of space for the crew and restricts people who are too tall to be crew of these tanks
Since the XM8 isn’t tech tree (Which I still believe it should be) the M10 would be a great light tank to slot after either the Stryker or the Bradley as a 10.x lightweight for the US tech tree.
