You do have blowout panels to hopefully prevent ammo detonations. The Type 10 has 3 crew, lacking a manual loader. Left: Kinetic protection Right: Chemical protection All in all, the Type 10 has good armour in some areas (namely upper plate and turret cheeks), but it shouldn't be relied on to reliably protect you and more often than not it won't. The dozer blade shouldn't be relied on but could potentially act as troll armour against shaped charges. Coupled with an extremely weak lower plate, as well as two small weak points in the recessed headlights, the Type 10 isn't without frontal weak spots. As with most top tier tanks, Type 10 has a very weak mantlet at ~200mm KE and ~400mm CE, which is actually lower than the Type '90s. However, the hull has ~570mm KE and ~830mm CE - a lot stronger than the Type 90. The turret cheek tops, while small has ~600mm KE (APFSDS) and ~900mm CE (HEAT and ATGMs). The Type 10 is an incremental upgrade over the Type 90 in kinetic energy protection and a substantial one against chemical munitions. The Type 10 is the most modern new tank we'll likely see in War Thunder for a long time - unlike an upgrade to a base model from the '80s like the Abrams, Leopard or Challenger variants yet to be added, this is an entirely new design from the 21st century. The Type 10 retains the armour and firepower of its predecessor, while also being a technological upgrade, employing modern technologies and computing to refine the Type 90's design. The Type 10 entered service with the JGSDF in 2012, designed as a more practical alternative to the previous Type 90, which was limited to Hokkaido island due to its weight (44 vs 50.2 tons) and inability to be effectively transported across Japan.
