The **Type 10 Hitomaru** is a special premium Tier 10 Main Battle Tank under Francine De Laroche's dealership.

## History

Class: Main Battle Tank

Developed: 2002-2010

Service: 2012+

Vehicles Built: 111

Operators: Japan

The Type 10 MBT, also called Hitomaru (name comes simply from the words “Hito”, meaning one, and “Maru”, meaning zero), was designed in the 2000s to replace the aging Type 74 in Japanese service. Much like with the previous Japanese MBTs, the goal was to produce a machine best suited for the defense of the Japanese isles from a potential invader. The Type 10 MBT is therefore extremely light for its class while maintaining MBT-level protection and features hydraulic adjustable suspension as well as cutting edge electronics.

The real ace up its sleeve is, however, its C4I Battlefield Management System. With it, the tank can connect to other tanks or even other unit types. You can already see the pattern emerging with most modern AFVs relying on such systems. They do offer a tremendous advantage and act as force multipliers. The Type 10 MBT is currently still being built but due to the low production rates, it’s currently one of the most expensive fighting vehicles in the world.

## Vehicle Traits

* Armored: This vehicle's armor can withstand a lot of punishment, allowing it to survive even serious firefights.
* NERA: This vehicle's ablative armor provides additional protection, but deteriorates with each hit taken.
* Heavy Weapon: This vehicle carries one of the largest weapons around with significantly increased damage per shot.
* Ballistic Sensor Suite: This vehicle is equipped with a special AI assistant that shows the gunner the exact chance to penetrate enemy armor in battle.
* Adjustable Suspension: This vehicle features a hydraulic suspension that allows you to manually change its ground clearance.
* Advanced Hydraulic Suspension: This vehicle's advanced hydraulic suspension allows you to tilt its hull to the front, to the rear and to each side for improved gun elevation and depression angles.
* Improved Reverse: This vehicle can drive backwards much faster than other vehicles can.

## Upgrades

### Armor

Type 10 Stock Armor
 This MBT's steel hull is relatively thin by itself, but it is covered by additional NERA modules, bringing its protection levels to those of heavier MBTs. NERA modules offer excellent protection at the beginning of a match, but their protection levels decrease with damage taken.

### Weapon

**Stats:**

* **Magazine Type**: Clip

## Abilities

**Description:**This vehicle can lower its suspension to become stealthier and more accurate at the cost of mobility and vision range. Additionally, it can also tilt its hull to improve its gun depression and elevation angles.
