T-62M

Dedushka has told me stories, such stories...

What's this? A preview for oil wars? ALL RIGHT THEN!

Like the T55AM2 the T-62M is an old tank dug up from the endless Soviet inventory of old war machines and upgraded to stand an actual chance on the modern battlefield (but not from deep within the inventory, that would be T34s). With bolt on BDD armor panels on the turret and hull, new side skirts, and improved fire control systems It can still hold its own against all but the latest models of main battle tanks. Armed with a 115mm 2A20 smooth bore gun, this old girl can still dish out the damage weather it be traditional munitions or even ATGMs.

Da Stats, Comrade!

If you some how wanted to cram even more tanks into a Soviet armored list, buddy have I got the tank for you.

The T-62M shares the armor values of T-55AM2, with a front armor of 14,side of 9 and a top armor of 2, and should be played in a similar manner. If anything serious notices you, you are most likely going to lose a tank or three. You do get the benefits of bazooka skirts though so light man portable anti tank weapons will have a slightly harder time trying to kill you.

The primary difference between the T-62M and the T-55AM2 is the gun. While the T-55 struggles how to deal with modern tanks, T-62M's 115mm 2A20 gun has an AT of 21, just enough to deal with those pesky 18 front armor tanks, and will punch right through the sides. The 2+ firepower rating guarantees that you will be demolishing your targets with almost every penetrating hit. You also get the AT-10 Stabber missile which has an extra 16 inches of range over conventional munitions but has of Firepower Rating of 3+ but you do get the Guided and HEAT rules. Unlike the other Soviet guns though, you don't get the Brutal rule so you probably would be better off using your MGs against infantry and unarmored vehicles.

T-62M battalions start at 3 tanks for 8 points and for every tank you then add tack on another 3 points to a limit of 10 tanks which tops out at 32 points. ATGMs will cost you 2 points to equip you battalion, which means that they get proportionally less expensive the more tanks in your battalion.
