Strv 103B - 3 Marks of Excellence

Image
One of the hardest tier 10 challenges during the old meta, it relied heavily on the map rotation and team efficiency. During the old meta, the Strv 103B could climb hills and other unreachable spots on the map that other tanks could not even do. Most notable map examples are Mountain Pass, Redshire, and Sacred Valley. Now in the new meta, the Strv 103B will not be able to climb to unreachable spots on these maps, the requirements for 3 marks in the new meta are lower than the old meta. The Strv 103B has the second highest damage per minute (DPM) in the game after the FV217 Badger. The Strv 103B is undoubtedly the sniper's dream vehicle with nearly perfect accuracy & zero aiming time in Siege Mode, absurdly quick shell velocity, and -11 degrees of gun depression. To further complement these traits, the Strv 103B has one of the highest camouflage ratings in the game with a -45 km/h reverse speed to back off from trouble quickly. The vehicle tends to rotate too quickly durin

110 - 3 Marks of Excellence

Image
The single worst HT I have ever used in my entire career, IS-5 and KV-4 Kreslavskiy might be worse. The 110 challenge started 2 years ago, but I had lost motivation to play it. This year I tried again, marks rose from 89% to 92% in one battle due to lower standards than the older meta. After 124 battles, the 110 is 3 marked. Classified as a masochist's toy, the armour proved to be worthless against many other tanks 2 tiers lower than the 110. The pike nose is too high and sloped at every possible wrong angle. Side armour had zero spaced armour and reverse sidescraping had to be used every single time to counter other HTs. Top of the turret is weak, cupolas could be penetrated with high penetrating HE shells. Tracks were completely exposed and a shot to the tracks could cause damage to the vehicle's track and armour. Therefore the 110 had nearly worthless to no armour to withstand every in the battlefield. The gun lacked stabilisation although stabilisation looked great at fir

Strv S1 - 3 Marks of Excellence

One of the hardest tier 8 TD to play. It took too long to get the 3 marks. Comparison of Strv S1 and UDES 03:

AMD 178B - 3 Marks of Excellence

Image
This is my first 3MoE in 2019. A very frustrating experience, standards dropped around 3 p.m. Japanese time so I was able to jump from 93% to 99.7% in one battle. After the next battle, 1 finally got 100% MoE. I didn't expect to see myself playing with LTs, I wanted to test the new mechanics and evaluate whether it is truly a mechanic introduced to "kill arty" or "scout rush". However, it is not true due to the fact that AMD 178B has a very large and tall chassis with average speed. The gun is the greatest asset, able to shoot high penetrating HE shells and APCR for sniping. Both forwards and backwards speed are equal at 65km/h, so there is no need to turn the chassis around to fall back quickly. The AMD 178B accelerates fast when moving forward but slowly when turning either direction from a standstill, and has problems manoeuvering when confined in between narrow passageways. Because AMD 178B has only 2 wheel steering, it steers differently when moving backw
