Honestly, everyone I've talked to who has the 121 hates it while I've talked to a lot of people who really like the 4202 because its a GOOD TANK.
I know a few who have 121, mixed reviews. FV4202 same deal. I think the reason that the FV4202 seems better is because the gun is reliable, unlike the 121. The 121 has more reliable armor and mobility. The 121 is a brawler and the FV4202 a ridge sniper, very different.
And by the way, I'm not saying it's a bad tank, it's just worse than all other tier 10 mediums. All of the tier 10 mediums are good tanks in their own respects but the FV4202 just happens to be worse by comparison. STB-1 has gun depression as well but it's turret can bounce a shot, it also has more DPM despite worse gun handling. And the STB-1 has better mobility. M48 Patton has more mobility and slightly better armor with a comparable gun.
Sorry, I'm just saying that if you choose a ridgeline warrior, you choose STB-1 or maybe Patton.
If you choose a brawler, you pick E-50M or 430 (121 also an option)
You choose a speedy light-medium, you choose Leopard or autoloader Batchat
If you choose an all-around great medium with good DPM and armor (turret), you choose T-62A or 140.
The FV4202 doesn't stack up in comparison but it's good on its own. It's a decent ridge fighter, decent shooter, decent all rounder, but the worst-in-class mobility and unreliable armor let it down.
