Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Good frontal protection (upper hull is around 180mm effective when angled).
- Excellent upper side hull protection
- Fast Reloading gun (5-5.5 seconds)
- Adequate penetration for weakspots, with effective z250mm HEAT
- Adequate gun depression for some hill work
Cons:
- Infuriatingly slow - at 30kph you never feel you are fast enough
- Poor turret traverse
- Very underwhelming alpha damage - gets outtraded by many mediums let alone heavies
- Easily penetrated lower front glacius weakspot
- Turret side armor relies on sloping against frontal targets; weakspot from the side
Performance
A near clone of its Tier VII tech tree brother the Vz 44-1, The Skoda T45 is generally quite versatile, able to take advantage of some hull-down positions on slopes or brawl at close range with its quick reloading gun. Its poor mobility does not cause it to arrive unacceptably late to reach the site of engagement; assuming the player predicts the correct site, however 30kph is still very slow for a heavy, making a turbo almost mandatory.
Its most ideal position is remaining at an arms length with rubble that hides its lower front plate (LFP) and methodically shooting enemies that expose themselves to fire. The tank can be troubled when too close to enemies due to its poor turning mobility and at long distances is likely to not be able to make full use of it's gun; enemies that get shot usually find cover quickly, negating the potential of hitting a target multiple times, and the unimpressive damage per shot will not leave hit targets crippled.
Extra care must be made to not get outtraded with the low alpha damage of the gun - tanks like the IS hit nearly twice as hard as you do, and even many mediums at Tier VII hit for 240 or higher. Use your decently high HP pool and fast reload to overwhelm what you fight and keep the gun firing. Luckily both the standard penetration and premium ammunition are good, meaning you can effectively use the gun in any matchup.
Early Research
This is a premium vehicle and comes fully upgraded with no researchable modules.
Documented Tank and Crew Builds
- Either a turbo or experimental turbo are near mandatory for at least one equipment build to make up for the anaemic top speed.
- A gun rammer to increase the fire rate is advised so you can chew through enemies quicker with the low alpha damage
- Hardening is next, to increase the HP pool to nearly 1600 and be able to stay in the fight for longer. Vents may also be preferred.
