With the beginning of the month, the action "To battle at Object 268 Option 4" started in the game. Players are offered discounts for the purchase of relevant vehicles and a number of combat missions with a variety of rewards. We will analyze in detail the features of this tank destroyer branch, what it is, its advantages and disadvantages. Let's find out what are the nuances in the study of technology and whether it is worth downloading.
General information
It is worth noting that this month the developers slightly changed the format of the action for a more comfortable leveling of the branch. Also, discounts are now valid starting only from level 5.
Discounts:
Combat missions
Innovations provided us with the division of tasks into individual for each PT and general (available for execution on all machines of this branch).
We will consider individual tasks in the review of each of the declared PTs.
Branch features
First of all, you need to understand that the concept of playing on the alternative branch of the USSR tank destroyers is represented by medium-close combat assault vehicles.
General features:
- they have good frontal armor, but poor protection of the sides and NLD;
- good maneuverability and high speed forward / backward allow the equipment to quickly occupy key positions, and in case of light, just as quickly leave them;
- for good indicators of armor and mobility, the vehicle paid with average values of one-time damage and a long reload;
- Aim time and spread at 100 meters are not suitable for long-range fire, thereby pushing the player to fight at close and medium range;
- due to the design features (rear position of the gun), all tank destroyers presented in this branch experience inconvenience with gun depression angles.
Overview of tank destroyers of the promotional branch
Let's briefly analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the technique in order to get a general impression of it. There are personal tasks for each car in the conditions of the promotion, the completion of which will speed up pumping.
SU-100 Tier VI
One of the most interesting PTs at its level. It is after it that you have to make a choice on which branch to follow further. SU-100 has a powerful weapon with good armor penetration and an excellent alpha strike of 390 damage. Such parameters of the gun allow being at the top of the list to destroy enemies with almost a single shot. The machine has normal mobility, but poor chassis turning speed. Stealth allows you to make the first shot, then to have time to hide for a long reload. Among the shortcomings, one can single out the frequent criticality of the ammunition rack, poor armor and poor accuracy of the gun.

Combat Mission: SU-100M1. Tier VII. The first representative of the alternative branch is the SU-100M1. It boasts quite good dynamics and high speed. It is armed with an excellent gun with good accuracy, rate of fire, and penetration, but low alpha damage. This model already features a rear-mounted gun and decent 140mm frontal armor with reasonable slope angles, so when leveled, the armor reaches 200mm, and sometimes even more. However, the tank's inconvenient gun depression/depression angles and poor view range of 350 meters are already becoming noticeable.

SU-101.VIII tier
It should be noted that stock SU-101 it looks rather deplorable, so you will have to be patient or spend free experience (in order to save experience, you can install “Reinforced Christie's Suspension” to open the chassis). But in the top state, this PT turns into a dangerous enemy. The gun has excellent penetration with an armor-piercing projectile of 253 mm and a cumulative as much as 340 mm. As protection, a practically impenetrable gun mantlet and good frontal armor with rational armor slope angles. The machine has good speed and dynamics, but poor flotation on the ground. Among the shortcomings of the gun, one can single out relatively small one-time damage, long mixing and the almost complete absence of a negative UVN of -3 °.

Combat mission
Object 263. IX level
263 object a versatile machine that can fight equally successfully at short and medium distances. Good booking of the cabin and VLD allows you to successfully tank tiers 8 and 9. Frontal armor is more effective at a distance of more than 300 meters, then it is more difficult for enemies to target vulnerable places in front. A low silhouette and a good stealth coefficient for level 9 allow you to play the role of an ambush sniper. Good dynamics and mobility are slightly inferior to medium tanks, which helps to provide support to allied heavy tanks on the front lines.
The gun has good armor penetration and an acceptable rate of fire, but the one-time damage is significantly less than that of other tank destroyers at level 9. Taking into account poor accuracy and uncomfortable pointing angles, battles within 300-400 meters to the enemy will become more preferable.

Combat mission
Object 268 Option 4. Level X
The long-awaited level 10, the crown of the development of the alternative branch of the Soviet tank destroyers Object 268/4. As a weapon, a 152 mm gun with good stabilization, fast aiming, high projectile speed, but with poor accuracy, a small alpha strike, and therefore mediocre damage per minute. This AT already has more comfortable pointing angles, unlike its predecessors, but the gun still only drops down by 5 °. A bit of poor visibility is depressing - only 370 meters and a low communication range of 720 meters. Despite the large dimensions, the car has excellent dynamics and good camouflage.
Frontal armor is beyond praise: the VLD has rational armor slope angles, and the vulnerable NLD in many tanks in this case is one of the most protected areas over 400 mm and it can only be penetrated into the lower bar, which is difficult to target, and the sides have additional protection in the form of screens.

About. 268/4 is an ideal anti-tank assault gun. Due to its features and characteristics, it takes the second place in terms of the percentage of wins among pumped vehicles and entered our TOP the best tanks of level 10.
Summary results
The branch is represented by interesting vehicles, and a really powerful tank destroyer awaits at the end of the path. Taking into account the fact that special combat missions for each vehicle have appeared, the research process has become a little easier. For an illustrative example, we present the process of developing a branch of alternative PTs:
