it lighter then the main tank and it used as light tank
it easier to transport then a Abrams due to being lighter
I’m not categorizing it.
Bro, give up 😂 🤣 you are relentless. It’s not a light tank.
it literal function is that of a infantry support light tank

It’s not getting a lil 50mm.
It’s definitely designed for taking out tanks. Not sure if you know what a 105 is used for but it’s not soft targets I can tell you that.
yes 105mm only has APFDS nothing else
I’m laughing at all the Russia or China mains in here saying it’s not in full service and can’t be added due to that fact. Remind me again how many “Object” tanks ever saw production?.. None.

Infantry direct fire support, yes. I dont think “light” Part of its formal name.
I mean, it can do that. But so can a BMP-1/2/3, an infrantry guy, M2A2 Bradley, or literally any somewhat ok size artillery piece.
The 152mm on the M551 could kill tanks, its not what it really did, but it did happen once (singular) .
If tanks was its main target, then the 120mm options would be picked (they are afterall plenty available in XC-8 turret or otherwise)
Complaining about M10 Booker is peak processing.

The 105mm was chosen because it has a wider range of ammunition types than 120mm and because its primary mission is not anti-armor, but infantry support, (ie: soft targets) .
At least go read a wiki or something.
Well also for any given volume you can just store more 105mm rounds than what you can with 120mm rounds.
Probably partially the reason why jumping from 120/125mm to 140/152mm isnt exactly being persued very hard.
Of course you would support the m10 booker- lightly armored and lightly armed- easy target for you Russian fellas. You would totally support this tank lol
This is correct, when dropping the bookers off away from supply lines the more it can carry the better.
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.
