They removed all overmatchable surfaces, nice job. /s
40mm side is unacceptable for a tier 9 HT. This is a good change. Now it looks like a bit faster E5 but with worse armor.
It has a huge LFP, weak shoulders, a pretty big flat 240mm plate on the face.
The gun is worse than E5’s gun with no perma-track ability, a bit less HEAT pen, a bit worse gun stabilization and slower aiming speed.
All in all, still a better tank than E5 on hills and worse than E5 on flat grounds.
Pretty well-balanced to be honest.
