By far the hardest Tier 8 TD challenge in my career. Considered as a masochist's toy. The T-103 demands immense amount of patience and discipline from players to relocate when in dangerous situations and help allies by scouting or by pushing together with HTs. The T-103 is very slow and sluggish. Turret traverse speed, acceleration and forwards & backwards speed takes ages to work. To complement it's weaknesses, the T-103 also has nearly zero armour on the hull, unreliable turret armour and one of the largest silhouettes in the game on par with M6A2E1. Side-scraping techniques always fail and relies greatly on hull down positions to utilise it's -8 degrees of gun depression and fully traversable turret to slowly work out the enemies. Being a large TD comes with great advantages, it can unexpectedly shoot over tall rocks and buildings and scout enemies hiding in smaller bushes. Fortunately, the T-103 is one of the best defensive passive scouting TDs in the game by havi...

Done in 59 battles. One of the earliest vehicles in the game, it was available in the gift shop during the very early days of WoT but was never sold in store or given out ever since. A Pz. IV's turret mounted on a Panther I's chassis enables the Pz.Kpfw. V/IV to be a semi-durable vehicle against low caliber guns and a serious battering ram against other MTs and TDs. Side-scraping techniques work especially well in the Pz.Kpfw. V/IV as the upper side plates are angled and has small amounts of spaced armour to cover the tracks. Angling the frontal armour also works well, however medium caliber guns pose no problems in penetrating the armour. The hull is quite durable but the turret lacks all round armour, the spaced armour on the turret does not benefit the Pz.Kpfw. V/IV much. The view range is especially great and could exceed 460m with the standard equipment layout. Although the Pz.Kpfw. V/IV lacks camouflage, it has great manoeuvrability and flexibility to compensate for th...

Done in 107 battles, all ISU designated vehicles in the game are completed. At first glance, it can be regarded is a slower SU-122-44 with zero armour inclination. The ISU-122S boasts devastatingly high 4000 Damage Per Minute (DPM), even higher than some tier 10 TDs. However, poor gun stability, long aim time, terrible accuracy and mediocre shell velocity greatly affects the DPM especially at long range flanking. APCR is almost very necessary in general situations due to the terrible penetration values of both AP and APCR shells. View range does not exceed 443m with the standard random battle crew and equipment layout so one might consider using binocular telescope to exceed 443m. Armour is not great, however the gun mantlet is quite strong like other TDs of similar designs. Forward speed is above average compared to other TDs, but totally lacks reverse speed which greatly endangers the ISU-122S when trying to retreat backwards. Hull traverse speed is rated average among other TD...

Done in 75 battles, the 60G FT is one of the most difficult Tier 5 challenges I have ever done in my WoT career. The only redeeming feature of the 60G FT is it's monstrous and godlike Damage Per Minute (DPM) of more than 2800, this is higher than some of the Tier 9 and Tier 10 vehicles. However, the 60G FT reveals it's many darker faces by having one of the worst shell velocities in the game, so it is impossible to snipe from a long distance. Camouflage is absolutely untrustworthy and the overall size of the 60G FT is slightly larger than a KV-1, so the 60G FT tends to get spotted early during the battle and will be priority target of all SPGs in the battle. Armour profile is an abomination of it's own kind, there were some cases where a Pz. III/IV and Pz. IV H managed to penetrate any part of the frontal armour with HE shells. Any Tier 5 vehicle with a 105mm and 122mm gun will strike tremendous terror into the 60G FT without a doubt, it is possible to be destroyed by one...

Done in 58 battles with 1746 average damage, it is an overwhelmingly competitive TD that could participate well in Tier 6 Strongholds and in random battles. The strongest point of the WZ-131G FT is it's insane camouflage that exceeds the value of all Swedish TD. The WZ-131G FT has 2 choices of guns, one gun with extreme Damage Per Minute (DPM) and the other gun with enhanced sniping capability. The first gun resembles Type 62's gun and the second gun resembles the Type 59's gun. I would recommend using the first gun for Tier 6 Strongholds and using the second gun for random battles. Based on a LT's chassis and having great view range for a Tier 6 TD, it can definitely perform active reconnaissance runs or passively scout in bushes. Although the WZ-131G FT has poor overall survivability, it has the ability to quickly out-manoeuvre other LTs and MTs and escape from dangerous situations rather quickly. The WZ-131G FT performs very closely to a miniature Object 268 withou...
