Best T10 MBT

[Kamikazi Watermelon183]

So I was wondering what is the best T10 MBT give me pros and cons I've4 heard the T4 is the best but I care not for it.
So for me I would like to ask about the K2, T14, Chall 2 ATDU, XM1A3, Leopard 2AX or the Merk 4M.

Very simply

S tier: K2, XM1A3, Leclerc T4
A tier: Merk 4M
B tier: Chally 2, T14
C tier: Leo 2AX, Type 99A2 (and i'm being nice with those poor tank)

basically the 3 first have everything you would want
the second is behind the three best in term of what you want, but honestly above average
The B tier are ok, but really don't count on them for competitive play
And the C tier... well it's the Leo 2AX, it have pen and hit hard, but it lack armor and everything else, simply sniper MBT, and nobody like or want that

this is only about the standard progression one
How it would look with prem ones

S tier: K2, XM1A3, Leclerc T4, Type 10, Object 490
A tier: Merk 4M, Object 195, STRV2K,
B + Tier: Object 640
B tier: Chally 2, T14, Type 99A2 140mm, Chally 2 SFII
C tier: Leo 2AX, CATTB, T14 152mm (195 is better)

you get the idea, DPM + Armor + Mobility = S tier (or an outstanding performance in one of them (like armor and mobility for Object 490)

Object 640. Extremely fast and squishy pancake of a tank with high burst damage, fun tank. For new players, I highly recommend grinding for the leclerc T4 and unlock the best retrofit in the game while at it, then grind for the K2 from tier 7, if you want.

Thanks for the advice I was thinking the K2 or A3 to begin with but was not sure.

K2 is worth a shot, very good DPM with the good combinaison (i don't remember which one exactly, but it should be Magazine gun, +1 shell, and more Reload (the lowest one in the list of module for the gun)) a very good mobility and very good AP resistance. Also have the designate ability which can be upgrade and give the opportunity to abuse AP shell (and even more with his commander, Kwon, and his Potshot ability, but it's not viable and just for the meme)
It's also considered as the Type 10 progression counter part

For the XM1A3, a good jack of all trade tank, good armor, pretty good mobility, choice between high caliber gun (140mm) and double tap 120mm gun, worth a try too

as far as premiums go, I love my type 10. it can do it all, with AMAZING dpm. also it looks pretty cool. I'll probably grind a K2 or Leclerc at some point tho, it just takes an absurd amount of time to get them. I was lucky and got enough BP coins to buy the type 10 outright tho so keep that in mind.

Caveats

I play mostly PvE and have not played MBT in PvP or GLOP's for a long time.

One persons fun vehicle is anothers horrible broken piece of rubbish - so these are purely how I find the vehicles I have

Vehicles perform differently in PvP than they do in PvE (PvE view range and fast reload matter more than PvP)



I tend to play the XM1A3 with the 120mm double shot firing HEAT mostly (two quick shots and faster reload than the 140mm while still being able to deal with most oppo vehicles)

Next is the Leo 2AX 130mm again firing HEAT, good all rounder

Neither are outstanding but both are a bit forgiving and solid performers - but rely on the player not making obvious mistakes.

Merk 4M is also a good solid tank with the bonus of a mortar to drop off, nice magazine reload but when empty takes a while to load each single shot. Can take a beating

Chally 2ADTU, slow, long reload, not as popular as it once was but can push where others would get melted.

T14 - fast reload, manoeuvrable, decent gun but armour has been nerfed a bit making it more fragile than it was.

Type 99A2 - quick with a decent gun but you can get into painful trouble quickly with it and its not as well armoured as others to take a beating

Type 10 Prem fun with a good rapid 4 shot magazine - make sure you pull back to reload though, fast, manoeuvrable and has good gun depression

Obj 195 Prem - pretty good and has an auto cannon to switch to while main gun is reloading, looks ugly but is a decent solid tank

CATTB Prem has a two shot mag and pretty well armoured but I dont find fun

Obj 490 Prem good front armour, painful gun but long reload, mobility can be kak (although hard to track), gun depression is terrible everywhere but the frontal arc and is probably my least played tier 10 MBT.

Strv 2000 Prem, seems fun but not played enough to really decide how it fits my playstyle

To add to the Strv 2000 - just had some fun matches in it, more fun when I stopped cursing the long reload and remembered it had a 40mm cannon as a secondary weapon
