-For the stock grind, it is recommended to get to a vantage point and use your binoculars to scout enemies, only taking easy shots. This can net quite a bit of RP if successful, the only problem is that such maps are rare. This vehicle requires much map knowledge to play, as it has poor gun handling and depression. Combined with the high repair cost, the stock grind is terrible. However, once you get DM33 you can get a bit more adventurous, but one must still exercise caution as the TAM 2C has poor survivability. Try not to ever expose much of yourself from cover. The 3rd generation thermals allow you to see enemies that few others on your team can see, as the TAM 2C is the only German ground vehicle to get 3rd gen thermals, or anything higher than 1st gen in the gun sight other than the [[Leopard 2 PL]]. It is recommended not to push corners, as the TAM has little armour, the engine is in the front (so you are immobilized at best) and the turret is mounted on the back of the tank, so you have to expose a lot of the vehicle in order to peek. The Laser Warning System (LWS) allows you to know when you are "painted" by laser rangefinders or designators, so you can duck back into cover whenever you are seen by an enemy. Finally, the DM63 APFSDS lets you to be much more risk-taking as you can now penetrate things like the [[M1 Abrams|Abrams]]'s LFP, and more reliably penetrate the turret weakspots on Russian tanks like the [[T-80U]]. The machine guns, although with a lower rate of fire than the MG3 on most other German tanks of the BR, can elevate higher than the gun, so you can engage helicopters better.

 === Production ===
-The TAM 2C project was born in response to the Force's need to find a solution for the age and technological delay of the material. The purpose of the project is to extend the useful life of the tanks and increase their capacities.
+The first TAM 2C prototype was unveiled in 2013, having been upgraded by Elbit systems. After technical evaluations, the vehicle was accepted for service, and the Argentine government signed a contract with Elbit for the modernization of 74 TAM vehicles. In total, the modernization of these vehicles will cost $110 million dollars. While expensive, this is tiny compared to the cost of acquiring a completely new MBT. The first TAM was reportedly upgraded to 2C standard in 2017, with initial production starting in 2018.

 • Incorporation of COAPS-L stabilized panoramic sight for the gunner

@@ Line 196: / Line 196: @@
 Keeping the same line, the TAM 2C-A2 was provided with the COAPS-L system, similar to the set arranged for the gunner but with the difference of being mounted on a gyro-stabilized turret with 360° panoramic view. In this way, the optronic systems were homogenized, which could be translated into a reduction of the logistical load as well as in some aspects concerning the training of the crews.
