T-62M
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 Soviet inventory of old war machines and upgraded to stand an actual chance on the modern battlefield. 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.
In Team Yankee
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.
