Object 704 - 3 Marks of Excellence

The Object 704 was one of the first soviet TDs in the game, before the Object 268. The Object 704 is a very slow TD with nearly non-existent armour other than the gun mantlet, this means that the Object 704 has a different playstyle from the Object 268. The Object 704 was once a reasonable TD during the older meta, however it struggles to cope with the new meta especially with the introduction of formidable enemies like the Object 268 v4, Object 277 and the recently buffed MTs and other vehicles. The only main strength of the Object 704 is it's surprisingly great camouflage for it's own size. However the sheer amount of weaknesses outweigh it's main strengths. Poor all round armour, long gun aiming time, poor gun depression, extremely slow hull traverse speed, highly inaccurate aim, low armour penetration, low HP pool and mediocre gun stabilisation are waiting to haunt and torment the user. View range is able to exceed 445m with the standard equipment layout (without binoculars). Frankly, the WZ-111G FT is an upgraded Object 704 in close combat situations due to having stronger frontal armour plus having HEAT shells much more armour penetration and shorter aim time, this suggests that the Object 704 is much more suited for longer range combat plus having APCR shells with high shell velocity and surprisingly flies in a straight line. One wrong move in the Object 704 would be highly susceptible to being punished dearly for that simple mistake, so take time to think calmly and make wise decisions on the next 3 moves, and most importantly plan an escape route or a fallback plan in every situation due to the very fact that the Object 704 is much slower than an average TD. Always try to stay at the second or third line of support, only take the first line of offense in the most dire situations or when all enemies in front of the Object 704 is spotted and reloading simultaneously. Overall the Object 704 is an effective way to punish yourself for the most pleasurable masochistic experience, not recommended to inexperienced TD players by any means.

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
