But in all seriousness I do want something like the XM8 for Britain
Can’t tell, are these spall liners in the last picture (on the left)?
VFM 5: exist
Talking more than 10.0, VFM5 is equal to the Stingray
And it’s in the tech tree. For whatever reason, the US can’t get anything related to the XM8 program in the tech tree (I know VFM 5 has no relation to XM8, buts its extremely similar to CCVL and we couldn’t even get that in the tech tree). I guess we got the Stingray now, but it only took them a couple years, and it still isn’t even XM8 related. We still got a couple more variants left, here’s to hoping.
Well, that’s up to the Commonwealth subtree
America is a minor nation that should have been added to Britain anyways, we all agree, unfortunately Gaijin hates us

One hell of way to redefine the word “small” to a country that supply all its main tank for other countries to paste in game.
But, whatever. Gaijin can always make an excuse to add sth even if it does not exist.
Like Austria size small, Britain could also recieve a Tomcat in the far distant future that’ll get added to US
Would make a perfect addition to top tier US after HSTVL and newly added M10 Booker (I hate Booker). Potential Iron Fist APS, 5 second reload, M900 and actually great mobility (unlike Booker) would make this an amazing tank for top tier lineups.

If you think this is above 12.0 material. I have a bridge to sell you.
Autoloaders do wonders
They get broken wonderfully, but if you’re banking on losing multiple crew members without dying they are good.
Definitely not 12.0 or higher. The 2S25M is 10.0 with a better performing shell (at least penetration wise) than M900, thermals, autoloaded, and it has access to a tandem ATGM. The only thing that the XM1302 has over the sprut is the APS, and the autoloader will be faster. The highest I could see XM1302 is probably like 11.3.

You see, Gaijin messed up. They added the XM8 and CCVL as event vehicles, when things like the Thunderbolt and Lightning Bolt would have been better for event vehicles. There is no shot in hell now, that they will be adding either one of these, or the XM1302, as event vehicles. The US’s options for light tanks fitted with APS is slim, XM1302 fills that role. The US’s options for higher caliber light tanks (120mm+), is also slim, and these 2 fit that well.
Yeah a lot of light tanks lack APS tho. Ideally CAS shouldn’t be prominent that you’d need it in “ground RB”.
