Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Good frontal hull armour and turret armour (around 180mm and 200mm effective respectively). Can bounce lower tier and some eq
- Good alpha damage at 320 with an acceptable aim time of 2.5s
- Very good standard and premium ammunition penetration - on par with the German 88s
- Above average HP pool (1400)
- Workable view range (370m)
Cons:
- Painfully slow - 30kph never feels fast enough
- Awful accuracy of .44 makes sniping very tricky, although the aim time somewhat makes up for this
- Weak lower glacis and big cupola weakspots
- Low DPM of 1600, although this is fairly average for Tier VII heavies
- Long target with weak roof armour - very vulnerable to artillery
Performance
A very capable if bland Tier VII heavy, the Vz 44-1 can perform in a variety of roles. The punchy gun can bully mediums well whilst the armour is more than capable of keeping you safe. You have the hit points and penetration to slug it out with heavies, with enough armour to bounce poorly aimed shots. The penetration also means you can hurt almost anything you end up fighting if you’re willing to fire some gold. Whilst the accuracy is bad, the aimtime makes the gun feel more comfortable as you can relatively quickly get on target, and at close ranges the poor accuracy does not matter.
This tank is not without its weaknesses however. The top speed is very bad - only the Black Prince and O-Ni are slower at this tier, and they both are significantly better armoured. This means you can struggle to get into position properly, especially in bottom tier games against much faster heavies. Your low DPM also means you will find yourself reloading a lot, and misses are both frequent and extremely frustrating due to the bad accuracy. If you can dictate the pace of the combat, the gun can work very well however, and it is still dangerous enough to play a supporting role against what you fight.
Early Research
The second gun is a poor upgrade, not really improving over the stock gun, but is necessary for the second turret. Turret and second engine are both major upgrades, and should be researched ASAP. Free XP should be used to at least get the second gun and have acceptable penetration. Be prepared to be very slow and turn very poorly until you get the top engine.
