Going to 9.3 is a death sentence. You can’t fight 10.3 russia and now sit at the same br as the ztz96 which is supperior in every way. But hey, its brits, its meant to be overteired.

When vastly inferior Soviet tanks were 9.0 alongside them.
ZTZ-96 is under-BR’d as well.
vastly inferior soviet tanks?
You are looking at the T62m-1? Which is as fast as the chieftan 900, similar rounds, better optics, and far better armor at the cost of gun depression. Relevant, yes, but with 1/2+ your games being city i’d take a T62m-1 over the chifetan 900 in any urban environment.
The mk10 has more armor, but at the cost of all of its speed (literally the slowest tank at the br). It also has holes all over its armor and dies to HE to the turret or autocannons to the ufp due to the drivers hatch.

T-62M-1 has worse mobility, gun handling, gun depression and reload.
Both have little to no armor against darts.
Chieftain Mk10 trades a bit of it’s mobility to get a workable armor, even against darts at it’s BR.
They would be fine if they didn’t face T-80UD every match at 9.3 (I did a chunk of the event with a 9.3 lineup just for the Buc S2 but got fed up of the uptiers)
Move the T-80UD to 10.7+, and then fix the outstanding reports for the Chieftain mk10/900 such as engine buffs, correct shell, armour fixes and maybe a tweak RoF and it will be just fine. Especially as our supporting lineup at 9.3 is actually okay (like the Buc S2 and Hunter FGA9 for aircraft)
than a chieftain 900? dont think so mate
the issue is that you move it up by 0.3 and most things quickly defeat stillbrew
same hp/t and 15t less weight? Having played both, they have the same mobility. ‘gun handling’ is extremely subjective stat on a stab tank with both having traverse close to each other. reload is half a sec difference, about as close as you can get. Depression is the only stat the chieftan is significantly better, but the T62 does get 10 pen, a better hull, and a smaller profile. In no way are the differences between the two worthy of a br increase.
Yup, the chieftan mk10 is a sidegrade that trades one thing for another. Yet somehow deserves a higher br? Its not like the armor is comprehensive either, look at the turret ring.
Hell, when talking about armor look at the chieftan 900’s right side turret cheek. you aren’t just weak to darts, you are weak to everything from 300 pen HEAT up.
