Despite the use of an FCE, the noticeable cost comes from an Armored Motive System weighing 14.5 tons. But when combined with the BRA this makes it a fantastically durable tank. Why BRA? because I like it and think more Tanks could stand to use it.

Personally I much prefer standard hardened armor thanks to the TAC chance reduction...
