The stock shell that comes with the tank is very familiar to JGSDF players: JM12A1 HEATFS, equivalent of DM12A1 and M830 HEATFS of NATO guns. these thermals have a resolution of 800x1200, this qualifies them as 3/2+ gen. The Type 10 is equipped with thermals for both gunner and commander and night-vision for the driver. Another key feature is the 14 round autoloader that reloads every 4 seconds, located at the back of the turret, making Type 10 a very formidable opponent in battle. Type 10 utilises a new domestic 120 mm smoothbore gun, developed by Nippon Steel Works thanks to new alloy technology used on this gun, the new gun can fire rounds at even higher bore pressure, thus enhancing the penetration even more than Type 90.
The lower glacis is yet another story, with its fairly large area and very low protection, it can be the death sentence of the Type 10 if the spalling after penetration spreads in a wide area and does fatal damage to the crew. The overall protection of the hull front can reach up to 575-580 mm against kinetic rounds on average, while the turret is another story - with only frontal arc protection and around 500 mm of KE protection, chances are most darts at the same BR range can penetrate the turret with relatively ease, and turret sidescraping is not an option as the inner part of the turret has very little protection. The Type 10 was designed to be a lighter yet more protected version of its predecessor, the Type 90 (Kyumaru) thanks to advances in technology during the two decades and its overall design, the Type 10 reaches a high level of protection with an detachable composite block on the front of the hull, the turret has also been designed to fit new composite armour blocks.

The Type 10 is an MBT that can full fill its role, with the only major downsides being the long first-ammo rack replenish rate and the armour not being on par with other end-tier MBTs. It can brawl at CQC combat due to its fast fire-rate, excel at sniping with its enhanced Gen 3 thermal imaging, sight zoom, and LWS/LRF.
Like the prototype before it ( TKX), it comes densely armoured with a weaker engine compared to its heavier brother the Type 90 but provides an excellent end tier Type 10 APDSFS shell which it can fire every 4 seconds.

It was introduced in Update "Winged Lions". Compared to its predecessors, there was a bigger emphasis on the C4I system, weight reduction, and modular armour. The Type 10 ( 10式戦車) was initially accepted into service in 2010 (with effect in 2012) to complement and replace the existing Type 74 and Type 90 main battle tanks.
