-The '''T-10M''' is a modernized modification of the seventh variant of the IS heavy tank family. The T-10 (also known as Object 730 or IS-8) was the final variant of the IS heavy tank produced by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Object 730 was the name given to it during development. It was approved for production as the IS-8 (Iosif Stalin), but due to the political situation following Stalin's death in 1953, it was renamed T-10. The main differences between it and its immediate ancestor, the [[IS-3]], were a longer hull, seven pairs of road wheels rather than six, a larger turret housing a new gun with a fume extractor, an improved diesel engine, and enhanced armour. Overall performance was comparable; however, the T-10 could carry slightly more ammunition, increasing from 28 to 30 rounds. The T-10M is the variant's final modification, seeking to bring it up to the increasingly difficult conditions of the Cold War. It had a longer 122 mm M-62-T2S L/46 tank gun with a five-baffle muzzle brake, a two-plane fully automatic stabilization system, a 14.5 mm KPVT heavy machine gun (which was a better ballistic match for the new main gun), infrared night vision equipment, and NBC protection. It was the last Soviet IS heavy tank to enter service. When the more advanced [[T-64 (Family)|T-64 main battle tank]] (MBT) was introduced, it quickly replaced the T-10M in front-line formations.

 The T-10 was better than its predecessors in almost every way: firepower, speed, armour and efficiency. It was a very promising breakthrough, that came too late. In the game, the T-10 plays like a medium tank with just below-average mobility, although it can easily reach speeds of up to 40 km/h. Arguably, its only disadvantage is the sluggish reload speed.
-However, in the 1960s, the Soviets have realized that the concept of the main battle tank (MBT), was much more efficient. Guns of similar firepower, as well as reasonable armour,  could be placed on a medium tank, which would be much more mobile than a heavy tank. That suited the Soviets because MBTs could be used in many more types of operations than the T-10, or a similar tank.

 ==== Ammunition ====
-'''BR-472 APCBC''' - This is the first ammunition the T-10M has access to which is considered as the "weak" ammunition. Despite having a "low" penetration (has 295 mm at 10 m at 0°) it should not be underestimated. It should be your main ammunition in almost all sorts of engagements. It has the penetration to deal with all heavy tanks frontally (with exception of Maus, E-100) as well as enough fuse sensitivity to explode inside lightly armoured vehicles which will be the main enemies at the battle rating (Leopard 1, AMX-30, Centurions, etc.). This round is a guaranteed knock-out with a single shot 99% of the time due to its tremendous explosive power if aimed correctly (184.5 g of TNT equivalent). The BR472 should not be underestimated.

 '''3BM-11 APDS''' - This is the most reliable round to use at distances when speed is crucial (1,620 m/s). It has enough penetration to deal the with everything but Maus glacis but, due to being a solid shot subcalibre round, it has no explosive power. This means the APDS relies on spalling created by the armour penetration which can sometimes be crucial if killing the enemy vehicle has to be done as soon as possible. This does not mean the APDS cannot cause knock-outs with a single shot if aimed at ammunition or center of mass. Most tanks will be destroyed with a single shot at the glacis if the shot is made right at the middle of the glacis. This round should be mostly be used as a secondary round for heavily armoured targets or at far ranges in which a high velocity round is preferable.
-'''3BK-9 HEATFS'''- This is the round with the most consistent penetration due to being chemical energy, on par with other HEATFS rounds at the same BR. This round can be considered the most reliable round for all sorts of engagements both at close range or at distance if single-shot knock-outs are not planned. It has a great explosive power (2.61 kg of TNT equivalent) but, due to being a hollow charge, the spalling is focused in a cone shape rather than a star shape as the APCBC. Similar to APDS, this round has to be aimed at center of mass to damage as most modules and crew members as possible due to the tightly packed spalling created. It should be noted that this round requires a clear flight path to the target as trees, bushes, fences and any obstruction will detonate it due to the fuse sensitivity. Keep this in mind.

-Despite being a heavy tank, the T-10M is only able to stop full calibre shells in which, at the battle rating, there is none but in some cases at 7.3 and 7.7. Due to this, the T-10M is far from being a frontline tank, meaning it has to stay away from the enemy LoS (line of sight) due to the long reload and weak armour. This does not mean it should be taken all the way through the outskirts of a map to get into position (can be done but not recommended on all maps). It should be used as a sniper in long range maps and a support vehicle in the rest. It is able to defend itself pretty well if a good defensive position is found or set. All CQC (close quarters combat) should be avoided as the extremely long reload speed invites enemy tanks to flank you from all sides. Some places in CQC environments (urban areas, city ravines, etc.) can be used as choke point (holding a full street waiting for someone to push if that street is the only access point) due to its powerful gun and decent armour. This tank faces almost nothing that can be a hard cookie to crack.

The new gun was significantly more powerful than the previous one and had greater initial projectile speed and improved armour penetration. The cannon was also equipped with a two-plane stabilizer, which allowed the tank's crew to fire effectively while it was in motion.

The cannon was also equipped with a two-plane stabilizer, which allowed the tank's crew to fire effectively while it was in motion.
 A significant increase in the tank's combat capabilities was also achieved by installing equipment for firing and driving at night. The field of vision provided by the new T-2S-29-14 periscope sight with two-plane stabilizer allowed the gun to be fired accurately both directly and from cover.

 ==== Ammunition ====
-'''BR-472 APCBC''' - This is the first ammunition the T-10M has access to which is considered as the "weak" ammunition. Despite having a "low" penetration (has 295 mm at 10 m at 0°) it should not be underestimated. It should be your main ammunition in almost all sorts of engagements. It has the penetration to deal with all heavy tanks frontally (with exception of Maus, E-100) as well as enough fuse sensitivity to explode inside lightly armoured vehicles which will be the main enemies at the battle rating (Leopard 1, AMX-30, Centurions, etc). This round is a guaranteed knock-out with a single shot 99% of the time due to its tremendous explosive power if aimed correctly (184.5 g of TNT equivalent). The BR472 should not be underestimated.

 '''3BM-11 APDS''' - This is the most reliable round to use at distances when speed is crucial (1,620 m/s). It has enough penetration to deal the with everything but Maus glacis but, due to being a solid shot subcalibre round, it has no explosive power. This means the APDS relies on spalling created by the armour penetration which can sometimes be crucial if killing the enemy vehicle has to be done as soon as possible. This does not mean the APDS cannot cause knock-outs with a single shot if aimed at ammunition or center of mass. Most tanks will be destroyed with a single shot at the glacis if the shot is made right at the middle of the glacis. This round should be mostly be used as a secondary round for heavily armoured targets or at far ranges in which a high velocity round is preferable.

-Despite being a heavy tank, the T-10M is only able to stop full calibre shells in which, at the battle rating, there is none but in some cases at 7.3 and 7.7. Due to this, the T-10M is far from being a frontline tank, meaning it has to stay away from the enemy LoS (line of sight) due to the long reload and weak armour. This does not mean it should be taken all the way through the outskirts of a map to get into position (can be done but not recommended on all maps). It should be used as a sniper in long range maps and a support vehicle in the rest. It is able to defend itself pretty well if a good defensive position is found or set. All CQC (close quarters combat) should be avoided as the extremely long reload speed invites enemy tanks to flank you from all sides. Some places in CQC environments (urban areas, city ravines, etc) can be used as choke point (holding a full street waiting for someone to push if that street is the only access point) due to its powerful gun and decent armour. This tank faces almost nothing that can be a hard cookie to crack.
