-The Chrysler K is an excellent side scraper -- pull up to some non-destructible hard cover and hide your lower plate, angle your hull (but not your turret), keep moving back and forth, and use your very good side and well-sloped turret armor to bounce enemy shells while inserting your own into their tanks.  There are two weak spots in the frontal armor -- inobvious and hard to hit -- plus the very small cupola on top of the turret.  The lower frontal plate is thicker than the upper, but the upper is angled better, which adds up to hide your lower plate if possible.  Avoid placing your tank on a down slope, the top of your turret is weak; and avoid going over ridge lines, which decreases your lower plate's effective slope -- level terrain works best, and try to go around hills rather than over.  Angle your hull so when your main gun is pointed at your most dangerous opponent your barrel is right over the front drive sprocket.

There are two weak spots in the frontal armour -- inobvious and hard to hit -- the very small cupola on top of the turret is abnormally strong, barely qualifying as a weak spot at all. The lower frontal plate is thicker than the upper, but the upper is angled better, which adds up to hide your lower plate if possible.  Avoid placing your tank on a down slope, the top of your turret is weak; and avoid going over ridge lines, which decreases your lower plate's effective slope -- level terrain works best, and try to go around hills rather than over.  Angle your hull so when your main gun is pointed at your most dangerous opponent your barrel is right over the front drive sprocket. The side mini turrets are NOT part of your hit box, so don't worry about them.
 Speed is only average for a heavy but a 1200 horsepower engine gives the Chrysler an excellent power-to-weight ratio of 20 hp/ton, allowing medium-like acceleration and good hill climbing.  Ground resistances are better than average and the tank turns well, but the Chrysler is big and slow enough to make you a juicy artillery target; try to stay "arty safe".
-Standard shells are AP and have terrible penetration, tempting you to use the T5E1A's high-pen premium APCR rounds.  Ammo capacity is a generous 100 rounds, allowing a very flexible loadout.
+Standard shells are AP and have terrible penetration, tempting you to use the T5E1A's high-pen premium APCR rounds.  Ammo capacity is a generous 100 rounds, allowing a very flexible loadout. The gun is otherwise OK, 320 alpha is almost exactly average for a tier 8 heavy tank, the reload speed isn't great, but it probably won't get you killed if you're brawling a same tier tank, high tier adversaries will punish you hard with their better guns though, a gun rammer is a recommended pick if you plan to fight up close. 0.36 dispersion is workable at medium range, with an aiming system equipped you can even fight back effectively against snipers, but whether its worth using over other equipment is up to you.
 The Chrysler's crew layout -- Commander (Radio Operator), Gunner, Driver, Loader -- matches these non-premium American heavies: the Pawlack Tank, M-II-Y, M-III-Y, M-V-Y, M-VI-Y (essentially all the newer "Yoh" tanks), plus the T54E1, T110E5, and T57 Heavy, making it a good crew trainer for all.
