The
VIII
M46 Patton KR
is a well-rounded tank: it provides long-range support with its accurate gun, and can brawl on the front lines thanks to its HP and armor. Where it really excels though is in terrain that allows it to exploit its excellent gun depression.
Loadout
Because this tank is a jack-of-all-trades, you can choose to focus on maximizing performance in one role, or any of them.

| "Repairs," "Sixth Sense," "Snap Shot" and "Smooth Ride" are all good general options to improve combat effectiveness. I recommend "Recon" and "Situational Awareness" for a well-rounded loadout due to the value of view range. If you want to brawl, "Clutch Breaking" and "Off-Road Driving" can help outmaneuver the enemy, or if you want to maximize performance in a specific area, get "Brothers in Arms." | ||||||||
