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.
