M10 RBFM SIROCO - 3 Marks of Excellence

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 an MT especially on the north side of Widepark. However, the M10 RBFM is very slow. Turret traverse and poor top speed & acceleration takes ages to work out, just like the T-103. Armour is weak everywhere, however some lucky ricochets do happen when the upper frontal hull is angled correctly. Side-scraping techniques are a guaranteed failure, so it is best to show the frontal armour more. The M10 RBFM resembles a T-103 without the decently armoured turret in terms of armour profile, overall speed and handling. Open top turret means that the M10 RBFM cannot use the ventilation fan, so I used the gun laying drive as an alternative. Always maintain the second line of defense or try to snipe from behind. The M10 RBFM is a exemplary tier 5 TD to train for battle consistency and vehicle relocation.

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
