T10-M or T-55A

[Læms]

what tank is more worth it and why? (and yes i know this is medium tank vs heavy tank)
and i already have T64A/B and T62M

I'd say the T-10M. It's mobility is more like a medium and the armor holds up a bit better (along with crew placement). The problem with the T-55A is that it's nothing really special. The APFSDS is ok for a 100mm, but for 8.7, it's a bit lacking, stock APDS is not the greatest either (especially with the 299mm max pen it has).

With the T-10M, its stock APCBC can essentially deal with anything it faces (only real ones that will be able to withstand it being the XM-1 and Chieftain Mk.10 turrets) and the reverse speed plus the quite good reload mean you can knock somebody out and quickly reverse to reload then pop out again shortly after and repeat.

Just ask yourself this: Do you really want to potentially face a Leo 2A4, Type 90, or M1 Abrams in a slightly better T-54?

T-55A.
No APFSDS no fun, besides at that BR range the T-10M might be heavy but it will still get one-shotted like cardboard box full of sardines.
Another problem is that if you use T-10M with T-62M then uptiering into 9.3 is lot worse then uptiering into 9.0.

What difference does it make, T-10M crew is packed together like sardines all surrounded by ammo racks and modules, one shot with APFSDS and you are goner.
Reload time has nothing to cheer about either at that BR.
And if you think you get downtiered with 8.3 tank then good luck with that.

well tbh they ahould change the armor of the T10M and move it to 8.0 so you can at least enjoy it

Yeah it would be lot more useful at 8.0.

The armor is how it was IRL. don't know what you want.
What it really needs is the loading assistant for a faster reload.

However if it's an option just go for the T-62. Many people seem to like it and it's far more competitive in an uptier.

About the XM-1 part : Wrong even the 128mm on the Maus and JagdTiger can penetrate the turret of the XM-1, even the 84mm APDS can do it, actually even the stock APDS on the XM-1 (260mm of pen) can go through it.

both are ♥♥♥♥ at the brs they are at. I would say T55 so you can get the T62m
