Contender 15K "Armor gambit"

I randomly discovered this setup when trying to make something with a really fast reload. This thingy is meant to support and snipe rather than brawl. The main strengths of this TD are really strong gun downtiered , high mobility, a drone, high RM 2 , and hull aim. A side feature is the surprising CE protection this tank has. The build sacrifices proper armor and ammo load max. 13 rounds for 2A73 for the things mentioned above. The gameplay of this tank is a bit challenging as it relies on flanking/camping, but the drone function allows you to play on smaller maps too and support brawlers. Or just use it for rushing, who cares The turret also allows you to switch the guns based on your preference. If you're a fan of more conventional guns, you can use them freely, you will get about 5s of reload for the 120-125mm. But be aware the ammo storage is very limited, so make every shot count.

T-80U - USSR's finest

The T-80U was one of the last MBTs in service before the USSR fell. It’s equipped with Kontakt-5 ERA and its infamous GDT-1000TF turbine engine, giving it a 1000 horsepower and great mobility overall. In public servers, you may find this tank rather challenging to play as it’s not perfectly suited against the ATGMs in the tier, but it is still capable of brawling effectively. It’s an agile tank and it should be used as such, especially because unlike its diesel engine peers, it can reverse up to 16km/h, which is enough combined with the acceleration it gets in reverse. In custom Cold War servers, this tank is a menace. No longer do you have to fear ATGMs as much as in public servers, and you get to outperform even more of your oponents by firepower and mobility-wise. The weaknesses like gun depression, insufficent reverse speed for long retreating, and the least safe ammo carousel are still there, but it is still my most beloved tank in this game so far.
