Player recommendations

The LT with the best overall armor profile, the PL-01 is a monster flanker and missile tanker. When upgraded with the Ceramic Armor Upgrade, the PL-01 has the armor and design to withstand heavy fire that would wither any other LT. Mobility is not lost in the upgrade process, with the PL-01 being able to keep up with nearly any other vehicle on the battlefield. A jack of all trades, the PL-01 can act as a flanker, hit and runner, and AFV hunter if played correctly.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Good mobility
• Excellent gun handling
• Good frontal armor

Cons

• Vital Ceramic Armor Upgrade is expensive
• Rear mounted turret
• High profile

Upgrade suggestions

Upgrading to the Ceramic Armor is vital for playing the PL-01 as anything other than a light skirmisher, as it allows you to deflect enemy fire much more efficiently. Upgrading to the 120mm DM73 APFSDS will heavily increase the damage capabilities of the tank, and the Rapid-fire Smoke Launchers Mk.2 and Hard Kill APS will enhance the defensive capabilities of the vehicle.

Retrofit suggestions

• Improved Gun Breech
• Advanced Muzzle Reference System
• Electro-Optical Absorbing Paint
• Augmented Optics

Commander and crew skill suggestions

• Commander: Sabrina Washington, for improvements to camo rating, view range, and accuracy
• Driver: Smooth Ride, Off-Road Driving
• Loader: Rapid Fire, Explosive Shells
