SU-101 - 3 Marks of Excellence

Argued as being the worst Tier 8 TD by many people because of having the lowest HP of every Tier 8 TD (990), among the worst damage per minute values with the 120mm gun, and having only -2 gun depression. However I disagree, SU-101 is a specialised reconnaissance TD which excels in camouflage and having a short stature means it can hide behind the smallest bushes and trees without getting spotted from around 300m. Although the gun handling is brutally horrible, a fast and sleek TD should not always use their guns but also spot enemies like LTs and maybe flank at closer ranges like MTs. It has a hard time sniping from far distances because of the below average shell velocity. Having only 7 degrees of gun traverse angles on the 120mm gun forces you to reset your aim and can prove gunning down enemies even more frustrating than other TDs. What's worse that its coupled with 3.1 second aim time. Although using the 100mm gun loaded with pure HEAT rounds can greatly solve problems, it would pack too little firepower to perform painful ambush attacks and missing shots would be extremely expensive and unforgiving. The mantlet has some amount of armour, but it can't withstand heavy attacks from HTs and TDs of the same tier. The body is small so modules are packed closely to each other, resulting in frequent module damage, crew injuries and instant deaths from ammo rack detonations. As the best SU-101 player in ASIA server with 2244 damage over 131 battles, I would not recommend experienced players to play the SU-101. Only specialised players will be able to overcome the SU-101's wide range of weaknesses and transform them into strengths.

Object 268 - 3 Marks of Excellence

Image
This is my third Tier 10 tank with 3 marks. It was my dream vehicle to spend my time on since the early days that I started to play WoT. I researched the Object 268 four years ago and I sold it due to my poor ability to play with this tank. In 2018 and after the major buff, I bought it back to pursue my long lost dreams. It has decent armour and mobility, with a cannon that can be frustrating to use due to poor gun depression angles and long aim time. To compensate this, it has great accuracy, great damage per minute and monstrous AP (303mm), HEAT (395mm), and HE shells that are great for dealing high damage without the need to aim properly. The Object 268 has great camouflage and great view range when equipped with Coated Optics, Food and crew skills. Although the Object 268 is packed with many obvious small weak spots, the Object 268 has no problems when it wiggles and makes unexpected movements. Extreme angles on the frontal side armor can shake off shells from many lower tier gun

M10 RBFM SIROCO - 3 Marks of Excellence

Image
Done in 86 battles, has high standards compared to a typical tier 5 vehicle. At first glance, the M10 Wolverine looks similar to the M10 RBFM and therefore shares similar overall handling traits. The main highlight of the M10 RBFM is the gun, view range and the camouflage. The gun hits fast and hard, having enough DPM to overwhelm other MTs and some TDs. Although the gun fires at a blisteringly high rate, the shots tend to miss at medium to far distances. APCR shells are a godsend to the M10 RBFM as they have faster shell velocity and great penetration for a tier 5 TD, APCR shells are not really a necessity as AP shells already have decent penetration. Aim time and gun stabilisation is average. View range can surpass 450m with the standard MT equipment layout. Camouflage is insane, the M10 RBFM can abuse its camouflage for passive scouting and some amounts of active scouting when necessary. With a fully traversable turret and -10 degrees of gun depression, the M10 RBFM can act as a
