New British main battle tank: MBT-80
The MBT-80 is a British Tier X Main Battle Tank that is available as a reward for completing Level 100 of the Battlefronts season pass. It is based on a prototype design that was never built, but featured advanced technologies such as a gas turbine engine, a 120 mm smoothbore gun, and composite armor. The MBT-80 in the game is a fast and agile tank that can flank and harass enemies with its high rate of fire and good accuracy. It also has decent frontal protection and a low profile that makes it harder to hit. However, it also has some drawbacks, such as weak side and rear armor, a not impressive alpha damage and gun depression. The MBT-80 is best suited for players who like to play aggressively and use their mobility and firepower to outmaneuver and outshoot their opponents. It is not recommended for players who prefer to snipe from long range or brawl with heavier tanks. The MBT-80 is a unique and fun tank to play, but it requires skill and awareness to make the most of its strengths and avoid its weaknesses.
Pros:
- High mobility and acceleration. The MBT-80 is one of the fastest and most agile tanks in the game, with a top speed of 69.2 km/h and a power-to-weight ratio of 22.3 hp/t. It can easily flank enemies, relocate, and chase down targets
- Powerful and accurate gun. The MBT-80 is armed with a 120 mm L11A5 gun that has excellent penetration (515/680/310), damage (550/550/680 HP), and accuracy (0.26 m at 100 m). It also has a fast aim time (2 s) and a decent reload time (7.3 s). The gun can handle any enemy armor and hit weak spots reliably
- Good gun depression and turret armor. The MBT-80 has a decent gun depression of -10 degrees, which allows it to use hull-down positions and terrain features to its advantage. The turret armor is also well-angled and thick (500/200/35 mm), making it hard to penetrate from the front. The MBT-80 can bounce shots and trade effectively with its opponents
Cons:
- Weak hull armor and large profile. The MBT-80 has a weak hull armor (110/35/20 mm), which makes it vulnerable to any incoming fire. The tank also has a large and boxy profile, which makes it easy to spot and hit. The MBT-80 can be easily destroyed by artillery, HE shells, and flanking attacks
- Limited ammo capacity and high shell cost. The MBT-80 has an ammo capacity of 54 rounds and the tank also has quite high shell cost.
- No special abilities or perks. The MBT-80 is a plain and simple tank that has no special abilities or perks to enhance its performance or gameplay. It does not have any active protection systems, smoke launchers, thermal sights, or other features that some modern tanks have. The MBT-80 relies solely on its basic stats and skills to succeed
