…so Mk.1A would be 10.7-level?

Well, U.K does have something of a lineup there, so it may be interesting

Mk. 1A would be 11.3-12.0 since its ERA is a little better than K-5 but still suffers from lack of blowout panels and has the Gunner sight weak spot. Rounds are little weaker, hard to BR it.

Arjun has blow out panels.

That’s right, it does and I forgot, and I’m the one who made the suggestion lol

Reminded of the “Chinese” Oplot ~ one only trialed by Pakistan
But before the Oplot, there was also:
The Abrams.
They trialed the M1A1 as well in 1988 :

but wasn’t inducted due to superstition?
Anyways, jus’ sayin’ Gaijin can still do something funny … (double the Chinese 'brams supply)

I think 12.0 would be a stretch. Honestly 11.3 feels fine if it’s true about the blowout panels and ERA.

That BR would place it alongside the IPM1, T 80 U and Merkava Mk.3s which feels like a fair matchup.

First the Abbot, then the AS90, then the Braveheart
… maybe the Krab later as well?

What about the Swiss ground force? And Malaysian ground force?

Swiss trialed 'Brams :

This is 100% Takao class. Not a single superstructure is similar to other Japanese cruisers.
Finally, after many years, I’ll get to see my favorite class of heavy cruisers.

from what ive heard its still not known if the MK1A does, while the Mk1 doesnt

was gonna say looking at the tank if it was 12.0 its DOA, while the ERA is good its not like russian tanks it has none on the side, the LFP is massive and the gun breach of the tank is also massive

would rather we just get the AS-90 / Braveheart first since Abbot would be pretty mid

Are we ever getting the historical M1 KVT i.e the 120mm variant?

Every historical vehicle should get fair chance in WT.
Do we absolutely need Stug IV, Hummel or Priest, Bishop?
No.
But we still want it. The game should have 'em.

The BR really hinges on the firepower and if it has blowout panels or not. 11.3 wouldn’t be too out of place if it has at least one of those 11.3 would be fine, but if it’s also mid in both of these things it’s hard to see it higher than 11.0.

I still can’t really find anything definitive about the blowout panels, as there is a lot of different and contradicting info online.

1A has it, 1 I don’t think so.
