T11-12 High Survivability MBT

As I was checking out the new parts, and I noticed that the Taranis has a ridiculously spaced out turret crew, along with a large plate that blocks a majority, if not all of the spall. This means that in a Contender 2M hull, even an LFP shot won’t (usually) kill your turret crew, this gives it unparalleled survivability in T11. Even your mantlet will be protected by your breech and your ammo usually wont get hit.

Pros: Insane survivability, great frontal turret armor, 22.1 HP/t, lower profile compared to other turrets, -9.5 gun depression + suspension aim, Gen 2 thermals, 2-32x zoom, 2.5km fcs, has radar, high ammo capacity + all blowout, and autoloaded.

Cons: Thin turret sides (autocannons will pen), no autocannon secondary (its not Yoyota after all), average reload (1.35 multi, 7.30 seconds with 120mm L/44), below average hull traverse rate, and a really dim thermal for some reason.

(Note in practice, this build isn’t as consistent as I thought it would be, but there is still a good chance that you can survive a LFP shot if you have your turret straight forward + its still a good turret.)

Ideal suspension settings:

Spring stiffness: 1.20x

Spring Dampening: 2.00x (Max)

Ride Height: +0.40 (Max)

If you want more mobility, use Leclerc which would put you up to ~30 HP/t
