_Violence_'s World of Tanks ASIA Blog

I could finally say that I have a Tier 10 tank with 3 marks. With high damage standards of 5300+ in the Tier 10 bracket, I have to perform well consistently. Object 263 is one of the few TDs that can scout fairly well due to it's high camouflage values and speed. The Object 263 has excellent gun statistics like high DPM (Damage Per Minute), great long distance accuracy, decent damage and above average gun dispersion on the move. The Object 263 has some major flaws like the poor gun handling, slow acceleration, fairly sluggish hull traverse and large armour profile with no side-scraping capability. With only -4 degrees of gun depression, I exposed my lower hull 99% of the time and I ended up being a vulnerable target in head on battles. With -7/+7 gun traverse arcs, I couldn't side-scrape and I had to consistently turn my hull to aim the gun, also resetting my aim that needs 2.5 seconds to fully aim. Although hull traverse is sluggish and holds one of the biggest & highest

SU-152, my very first tank with 3 marks is finally brought to 100%. I had a lot of fun in it, blasting HEAT shells with 250mm of armour penetration into many Tier 8s and making them loose 700 HP with one shot  was a delightful sight. SU-152 spurred me onto the TD route, and I have no regrets continuing the TD lines. SU-152 is a monstrous beige whale with great speed for it's size and excellent camouflage. However, it is blind with 360m of view range and having extremely poor gun handling with the 152mm gun. But it's heavyweight flaws are balanced with monstrous HEAT shells and high damaging HE shells.

Finally after 2 long years of patience and failing my way through 300 odd battles stuck at borderline 90%, I managed to obtain the final mark on the gun. Through many WoT client updates, it's damage standard stayed absurdly high at 3500+. It is by far my hardest Tier 8 3MoE tank, surpassing the T28 and the AMX AC 48. WG was very friendly towards the T-44-100 (R) in update 9.20 and buffed it, further maximising it's damage potential. T-44-100 (R) was already overpowered, it did not really need the buff. Now it is a very fast and deadly flanker and scouter with extreme camouflage values. It's only flaw is the low amount of penetration, but it makes up for the flaws with great gun handling.
