Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Very thick and well angled glacis plates, sloped turret allows to bounce Tier X guns
- Almost impossible to hit cupolas
- Highest AP alpha damage of all tier 8 heavies, allowing for very effective trades
- Good penetration, on par with the IS-3's BL-9
- Lower plate is quite tough, and can resist guns with <215 penetration
Cons:
- Low DPM
- Horrific accuracy and gun handling
- Thin and vulnerable lower side hull armor
- Low view range
Performance
In some ways, this tank resembles the old (pre 0.9.3) version of the KV-1S. It has an extremely powerful, but very slow-firing gun that can take out most enemies with a few shots. Also, unlike many Russian heavy tanks, it has good penetration on its standard ammunition. The main downside of this gun is the long reload time. This is exacerbated by the poor gun handling, which will cause misses a mid to long range. The armor is very strong, being both thick and well-sloped. From the front, its main weaknesses are the lower glacis, which is large compared to other pike-nosed tanks such as the IS-3 and the 110 and can be penetrated by premium rounds and the two cupolas on top of the turret. From the side, the armor just above the tracks can be penetrated easily by almost any gun it encounters. The best way to play this tank is to trade shots at fairly close range, using the massive alpha damage of the BL-13 gun to overwhelm opponents. However, the player should take care not to become isolated as the low rate of fire makes fighting multiple opponents a tricky proposition.
