Overview of the Polish premium analogue of the Soviet imba T-44-100 for a marathon "Hunting the Fox" in WOT.
Hello tankers! With you Wotpack and a review of the premium Polish medium tank tier 8 CS-52LIS in World of Tanks. To begin with, let's compare it with other prem CTs in order to understand its capabilities in battle. We will figure out what equipment to put on it and how to realize the potential in a random house. We will also choose the best option for upgrading crew perks.
TTX CS-52 LIS
Firepower
The premium Pole has a 105 mm gun at his disposal, which distinguishes him from his classmates by a large one-time damage 320 units. Armor penetration basic armor-piercing projectile 208 mm, and a special sub-caliber 252 mm.
It is worth noting high flight speed for sub-caliber shells, she's at tech level 10.
Excellent turret traverse speed allows you to feel confident in dynamic battles, while good stabilization of the gun. Mixing time a mediocre 2,21 seconds, and accuracy 0,35. Vertical guidance angles -7…+17°. The payback for alpha was a long recharge 9,2 seconds but overall damage per minute comes out decent against the background of classmates 2086 units.
Vitality
Margin of safety and a minimum of 1300 units. Although at first glance the nominal values of armor are not impressive, it has CS-52LIS good enough. The armor plates are located at a good angle, so the alignment in the VLD area is over 200 mm.
Therefore, sometimes the car will catch ricochets at the top of the list, which allows you to act more aggressively.
Mobility and intelligence
The mass of the machine is one of the largest among STs 36,58 tons, so you can ram cardboard STs and LTs. In general, the dynamics is average against the background of classmates, maximum speed 50 km / h, but he gains it quickly due to specific power 19,69 hp/t And here chassis slew rate low 41,72°.
Good stealth will allow you to avoid damage in some situations, but you should not expect to spot someone first with a radius review 380 meters. Also pay attention to communication range 525 meters - this will sometimes not be enough to understand the whole situation on the battlefield.
Advantages and disadvantages
After a detailed acquaintance with the tactical and technical characteristics CS-52LIS let's summarize, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses.
Advantages:
- big alpha strike;
- gun stabilization;
- rational angles of inclination of the armor;
- high flight speed of a special projectile;
- low silhouette.
Disadvantages:
- long recharge;
- small margin of safety.
- poor maneuverability;
- low communication range.
Equipment selection for CS-52 LIS
Installing additional modules will increase the effectiveness of the vehicle in battle, improving its strengths and reducing the impact of weaknesses. We recommend the following build:
- improved ventilation (in the profile slot) - will increase all the parameters of the tank;
- vertical stabilizer — will reduce the dispersion circle, which will allow you to shoot more accurately on the move;
- rammer - required to be installed in order to slightly increase the DPM and feel more confident in duels with classmates.
One of the Fox Hunt awards was turbocharger, the developers seem to be hinting that it can be useful here in the profile slot. If you feel that you lack dynamics, you can put it instead of ventilation.
If you do not intend to invest in training manuals for the crew, then there will be a lack of visibility. For a completely zero crew, I would recommend abandoning the increase in firepower (playing exclusively from alpha) and investing in the comfort of the game:
- improved turning mechanisms;
- enlightened optics — will add to the review of 38 meters;
- stabilizer.
Crew training for CS-52 LIS
The premium Pole has 4 tankers, and the commander has a combined specialization with a radio operator. Considering that most players will receive their first crew for Polish STs for the marathon, let's consider what perks to download CS-52LIS.
It is worth starting with Repair, since this ST involves active gameplay on the 1st line or behind the backs of more armored allies, which is fraught with knocking down the harp from a random projectile or a splash from artillery. Next, we improve the stabilization of the gun with the help of Smooth turn of the tower и smooth running.
We take the commander according to the standard Sixth sense (possible through resetting Radio Interception or Repair). Having accumulated at least 2,5 experience levels for the crew, we reset all tankers in order to put The Brotherhood of War.
Then we return to the perks shown in column 2 (almost all of them have been in effect since the moment of study) and continue to download the crew. The loader must be studied Contactless ammo rack.
At the expense of the commander, we are now pumping the review: Radio interception + 11,4 meters + An eagle eye 7,6 meters. The rest of the crew can take disguise to reduce the overall visibility of the machine. From the rest of the skills we take the following: Sniper will increase the crit chance of an enemy module, Off-road king improve acceleration dynamics, and Desperate will noticeably speed up reloading when the HP drops below 130 units.
Equipment selection
Consumables for premium Tier 8 vehicles are selected depending on the objectives for the battle: to farm or to play more efficiently. For the first option, you can get by with the usual:
- repair kit;
- first-aid kit;
- fire extinguisher (it is better not to save and carry automatic).
With a supply of silver and a desire to bend over in a random house, we put improved consumables and take a national dish in the third slot Bread with lard. The pre-battle instruction The Art of Shooting Down the Flame will help protect the tank from arson.
How to play CS-52 LIS
Before moving on to the analysis of tactics in battle, let's look at the final configuration of the vehicle, taking into account the recommendations above:
Accuracy and DPM are overclocked to acceptable levels, but the review is not the maximum, so I do not recommend trying to play a firefly unless absolutely necessary.
At the beginning of the battle, do not climb on the rampage, try not to lose stupidity points of durability, a premium Pole has very few of them anyway. The role on the battlefield is a fire support tank. The maximum speed is not enough to occupy key positions, and the armor will at best help out from an accidental ricochet a couple of times per battle (at best).
LHP allows you to play from the terrain, which must be used to deal damage in a positional game. It also contributes to one-time damage - play from alpha.
If at the top of the list CS-52LIS can still play aggressively on the front line, then with the "nines" you already need to be extremely careful. In battles at the bottom of the list, fire exclusively from the second line or in conjunction with a group of allies, hiding behind their backs. Although the dynamics of the stars from the sky is not enough, he is quite capable of supporting a flank attack or returning to defend the base.
Should I buy CS-52 LIS
For the first time, this car can be obtained completely free of charge in a marathon "Fox Hunt". Not everyone will be able to pass it 100%, so they will stop at the previous stages to buy it at a discount, and a little later the tank will go on open sale.
If we consider the car in terms of farming, he has a good potential, but there are other premium CTs that are better in this regard. You should take it only at a good discount or if you plan to download Polish medium tanks.
Realizing that the car turned out to be not the most interesting, the developers decided to push for its purchase with two additional promotions: the introduction of special combat missions only for CS-52LIS (list of rewards below) and the introduction of cashback (30% of the amount spent will be returned in the form of gold to the account until August 31). Is it worth it to lay out such an amount at once - everyone decides for himself, according to his abilities.
Results
New premium tank CS-52LIS in many ways it resembles the upgraded T-44, but the stabilization and mobility are slightly worse, so the game is not so comfortable.
It has a good mix of firepower and mobility, and makes up for its weak armor with good camouflage. In general, the car turned out to be universal, but without any interesting chips. Just a normal premium tank that does not pretend to be an imba and will not be able to drastically affect the balance of power in battle.
Once you have reached the end of the guide, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the upgraded branch of Polish medium tanks:
