- Fast Track (all variants except MBT-01D, MBT-01A and MBT-01R): Most of the Jariler-class MBT variants have a fast turret track speed despite the extreme weight and size of the weapons, the systems for which is in fact is where a notable portion of the tank's weight comes from.
- Versatile and Heavy Weapons Loadout: All Jariler-class MBT variants have a versatile and very heavy weapons loadout, allowing them engage all manner targets, from infantry and light vehicles to heavily armored tanks and walkers and even gargantuan biological monstrosities.
- Resilient: The tank is heavily armored, features ERA plates, combat de-ionizers, a pair of anti-missile octets and a shield generator. This enables it to take damage from a variety of different sources and of a variety of different types and come out intact.
- Manda Tactical Battlenet: The Manda tactical battlenet gives crews a powerful data analytic and battlefield coordination tool that allows them to seamlessly share data with friendly infantry, other vehicles and even supporting aircraft, track and engage multiple targets easily with optimized targeting solutions, that also analyzes enemy tactics and can control and/or manage certain subsystems for the crew.
- Automation: The load on the crew is reduced given that automated droid brains control the sponson, hull and pintle mounts.
- Advanced Sensor and Communications Package: The tank's advanced and communications package allow it to detect and track targets and threats at all manner of ranges and also ensure that coordination between friendly forces and the crew is both easy and secure.
- Sealed Crew Compartment: The crew compartment is environmentally sealed, allowing the crew to survive hazardous environments, chemical and biological weapons, augmenting the capabilities of their own armor to do so.
- Sensor and Comms Jamming: The tank features a powerful sensor and communications jammer making it potentially difficult for the enemy to engage them as well as coordinate against their attack.
- Tracks: Should the tank become de-tracked, it will be rendered immobile, and while it now becomes a bunker, the fact remains that it is now much more vulnerable given that it can no longer maneuver to protect its vulnerable rear.
- Very Heavy: The tank is very heavy, making it difficult to transport as well and also making it difficult for the tank to traverse certain sorts of terrain that would bog down heavy vehicles.
- EMP/Ion: Should any EMP/Ion damage manage to get through the tank's defenses then there's a high chance that many of the tank's sensitive electronics would become rendered useless, rendering it blind, defenseless or even completely unarmed.
- Automation: The tank's high degree of automation does mean it is all the more susceptible to directed slicer attacks, viruses and the like should they actually be able to affect the tank.
- Aft Vulnerability: The tank's rear lacks the ERA the rest of the tank is protected by, and is where the tank's engine is located at. A penetrating shot will likely immobilize the tank.
- Reactor: The tank's Isotope-5 reactor will detonate violently and spectacularly, taking the entire tank with it, should it overload.
- Radiation: Should the tank's reactor be breached, it will leech deadly radiation into the rest of the tank, damaging sensors and other sensitive equipment.
- No Traverse, Limited Elevation (MBT-01D): The SCDC-01 Super-heavy Disruptor Cannon used by the MBT-01D has a limited elevation and no traverse, forcing the tank to orient its front at the target it intends to fire at.
- ERA: The tank's explosive reactive armor means that infantry are forced to operate either directly behind it (where there is no ERA) or at the minimum safe distance, limiting how much supporting infantry can help screen the tank. Additionally, once the ERA plates are expended, they need to be replaced, and these tanks do not carry spare ERA plates.
- Supplies: The tank doesn't have a particularly large cargo supply, and almost all of it is dedicated to ammunition storage. The tank doesn't contain much in the way of spares or tools for the crew to use, meaning that should the tank's maintenance droids be knocked out, the crew will essentially be forced to abandon the tank if they cannot repair it. Assuming of course, that there are no friendly forces nearby.
The first tank ever built by the at the time newly formed Breshig War Forge Consolidated, with the MBT-01M being their oldest variant of the Jariler-class Main Battle Tank, the tank has seen years of cherished service with Strill Securities as well as numerous field tested upgrades and enhancements. Unfortunately, given the mess that Strill Securities was in post the retreat from the Breshig System, they haven't seen service with alongside CIS forces yet. Even so, the company hopes that the latest attempt to aid the Silver Jedi Order will prove an adequate field test to ascertain how well the Strill Securities' armored units can coordinate and cooperate with their CIS counterparts.

Unfortunately, there are a few notable issues with the tank itself, some because of the design and some from the fact that it is a very heavy tracked vehicle. Should the tank become de-tracked, it will be rendered immobile, and while it now becomes a bunker, the fact remains that it is now much more vulnerable given that it can no longer maneuver to protect its vulnerable rear.
