The Thumper is finally the experimental Abrams MBT it was meant to be. I understand the logic behind making it a td because it was the first high alpha gun in Era 3, but preventing the player from equipping gun stabilizer on it meant having to stop and aim. Which doesn't work in the player dictated wolfpack, run and gun, meta of Era 3. This means that this tank upon inception was not able to keep up with mobile mbt meta. Functional yes, but out of place. Which was made more apparent by the other high alpha premium mbts that got to equip the gun stabilizer and have good on the move accuracy. Making the Thumper a heavy/mbt was necessary, as we all know a true td in Era 2 and 3 is equipped with atgms.
