@starknight97 Not so easy. Any way, Type90 created against for T-80s. That was designed in order to beat a lot of T-80 by 1. Because Russian army had a lot of T-80s at that time. Now, Type10 is taking the place of Type90. Type10 beat T-90s easily as Type90 do T-80s.
@starknight97 first of all, type 10's armor is better than type 90. it's said that nowadys japan have a tech which enable to build armor equal to type 90 in the weight of 30%. 2nd, the active defence is not a good method. that have demerits, easy to be found, danger to friend. it's a method for the countries which dont have a tech that build a good passive armor. And anti tank missile is very expensive and can be prevented with sufficient smoke, so that cannot be a main arm of tanks.
This is a very strong tank. I've run the statistics against the Chinese Type 96 (not the 99) however, and I've found that the Chinese tank is slightly better overall. Still a very formidable tank though, the comparison still gave the Chinese Type 96 a run for it's money, but the 96's sheer versatility prevailed in the end.
