MBT2000 vs Al-Khalid-1, a pretty unfair fight

Can someone explain to me why the MBT2000 and the Al-Khalid-1 sit at the same BR?

Al-Khalid-1 is basically an improved version of the MBT 2000 with Gen3 Thermals, an improved (although not by much) frontal turret armor and added Reaktive Sideturred armor.

Do i miss smt here? Wasnt the MBT 2000 basically on 11.0 for the only reason it has a shitty Thermals and not so great armor and a fixed 7.1 reload? The Al-Khalid-1 dosn´t face this Thermal issue and also has a better armor, especially against hits from the side, due to the added armor there.

Is there smt i am not aware of that the MBT2000 is better in? As i cant see it.

Because they are all stronger than their opponents in 10.7.
Or you think they are similar with Leopard 2A4, the earliest M1, and T-80B?

Al-Khalid-I and MBT-2000 are most like a T-80U with worse armor but excellent mobility, at higher battle rating it may struggle with the regard armor protection.

Al-Khalid-1 is an premium vehicle, and it is normal that it is better than the vehicles on the tech tree. The MBT2000 only has some more ERAs on the front of the hull, that’s it.
The difference between the two is not enough to separate them into different BR, and premium vehicles have slightly better performance, examples of which are everywhere in the game,such as T-80UE-1 compared to T-80U,T-80UD compared to T-72B.

Yea all in all ure right, but i still dont see why the Al-Khalid-1 is at the same BR asa the MBT2000, in my opinion it should be 1 br higher, that would be currently 11.3. Thermals alone would justify that already.

And … why do i need to pay to be competetitive? Can we please stop putting stuff behind a paywall that is better then the techtree …

MBT-2000 and Al-Khalid are basically same tank. There is no reason for one generation of thermals to warrant 12.0. The tank itself dont have armor to be there,its armor is already weak for 11.0

For 12.0 its not enough, but for 1 br its more then enougt. More Armor at turret front, Much more armor on turret side and much much better Thermals… what do u need more to justify +1 br (11.3) ?

Al-Khalid and MBT are both 11.0

Sorry i dont get you.

Yes they are both 11.0… and thats what i disagree with.

You saied its not enough for 12.0… no one ever thought it is.

But the impovements on the Al-Khalid-1 are definitly 11.3 worthy. (again, that would be +1 br higher then the MBT2000)

11.3 makes it have no lineup. Rn it have ZTZ-99-II and -III. Better thermals doesnt mean higher BR,as at that point Leo 2A6 would be higher than 2A5 and 2A7 above both of them. And wait till you find out T-72 TURMS-T have gen 2 gunner and commander thermals at 10.3

No lineup, is the worst excuse i have ever heard and gaijin also never cared, as they shouldnt.
If you go for lineups… where is my german 7.3 Lineup to use with my Ru251? Its non excistent. But leaving the Ru251 at 6.7 was no option, and still is no option. So iam fine with it… apart from the fact that i expect gaijin to gimme my money back, as they changed smt that i have bought in a different state… its like i buy a 500hp tesla and elon changes my car to 300hp after a year through software… wtf.

Making now a comparison to the T72 AV makes my point even stand out more as the Regular T72A sits at 9.3.

Only differency of T72A at 9.3 to the T72AV is the added reactive armor (like the al-khalid-1 has added front turred and site turred armor), a themal imager and an, not by a ton, improved ammo.

Just that makes the T72AV +3 BRs.

So i state again, the Al-Khalid-1, with its impovements over the MBT2000, should not be at 11.0 and atleast get one br higher to 11.3.

Its the same old story as we have over and over in this game…
