The Abrams M1A1 is a great replacement to the Rhino, though the usage remains unchanged. It’s best used to absorb damage and deal high damage to a single target (as it's DPS is much higher than Rhino). Use it to shield your DPS Units such as the M270 Launcher and Machine Gunners from attack. It is still quite vulnerable to railguns, so keep them out or destroy/distract the AA defenses and let them take these out.
The Equipment allows it to take more damage and give more out. The Tank Crew and 20MM RHA are also shared by the Rhino, which boosts overall stats and health respectively. The turret, unique to itself, mainly enhances defensive abilities.
It also serves as a decent defensive vehicle against attacks.
