A simple addition that would be these tanks a little more novel. They were added before auto cannons but feel like they should get the MBT70 treatment

Nah

#

Two reasons

#

One: The chassis they're based on (the XM803) had the autocannon removed as a cost saving measure towards the end of the MBT70 program

#

And two: how about we don't have an 80km/h ram machine with a brutal 130 mm cannon and an autocannon

#

#

and the cat has what

#

610 alpha

#

and 3500

Don't let the DPM fool you

#

Both the CAT and MOBAT are in meh states atm but it's a deeper rooted issue

#

well

#

if you compare it to other mbts like the t72s it’s really not too terrible

#

minus gun handling

#

There's the horrid gun handling

#

Very mediocre at best armor

#

Honestly I'm gonna mention the armor twice cause it's so bad

#

It has no side skirts

#

The thickest part of the side armor is only 44 mm

#

It can't turn (a necessary negative)

rough quest
#

yeah the armor…

#

forgot about that
