In term of usefulness this is the second best tank in End War, but only in late game.

During early game it is uncontested as the best tank, well armored, fast enough and with good accuracy. But after the EU Panther gets a few updates that allow them to actually become a threat to Gunships, it loses some usefulness.

Description

The M5A2 Schwarzkopf is a tank in use by the United States Joint Strike Force
The Pentagon likes to refer to the M5A2 Schwarzkopf as the world's premiere mounted combat system and it's easy to see why. This Main Battle Tank is the pride of the JSF and can endure massive punishment while dealing out the same. Its 120mm smoothbore cannon is capable of blasting apart enemy fortifications while its advanced fire control system gives it unsurpassed accuracy. Unlike the M118 Fastback, the M5A2 still uses a gas turbine rather than a diesel hybrid engine.
Named after General Norman Schwarzkopf, this mounted combat system is yet another example of the end results from the Future Combat Systems program. While its primary armament, a 120mm smooth bore cannon, is essentially unchanged from tanks of previous generations, the rounds it's capable of firing are updated to be much more punishing. The M5A2 is a mix of the old and the new. It still has the tried and true .50 caliber coaxial heavy machinegun, but can now be fitted with the RAVEN 20mm chain gun. It has an engine that runs on fossil fuels but its advanced fire control system gives it a level of accuracy that is unheard of. The Schwarzkopf can even be equipped with an Advanced Active Defense System which provides added protection against an array of high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) weaponry.
