WoT developers announced the Swedish branch of medium tanks at WG Fest 2018. One of these vehicles is the Lansen C, a tier eight medium premium tank. Let's take a closer look at the well-known characteristics.
TTX Lansen C
Starting our review traditionally with a viewing radius, it’s worth saying right away that it doesn’t stand out among classmates in any way. Standard 380 meters.
The weight of the car is almost 24 tons. Engine power - 680 horsepower. In total, we get the value of the specific power of 28,30 hp / t.
These indicators affect the mobility of the machine, which is quite good here. Front maximum speed - 50 km / h, rear - 20 km / h.
Lansen C gun
This tank is equipped with a 10,5cm KL/53 gun. Alfastrike has 320 units - an excellent result. The rate of fire parameters are also not far behind - 6,5 rounds per minute. In total, with a full crew, we will be able to deal more than 2 damage per minute.
The parameters of armor penetration by the base projectile are also good - 208 mm, but the flight speed is mediocre 930 m / s. Slightly improve the position of sub-caliber shells. Full description of the ammunition:
Accuracy, however, is lame. Aiming time - 2,5 seconds, reload time - 9,2 seconds excluding equipment. But the vertical aiming angles are very pleasing. The gun here can bend down ten degrees, which provides a more comfortable game.
Reservation
In terms of protection, everything is sad for Lansen C, even being at the top of the list you should not count on it.
The forehead and sides of the turret are 70 mm each, thanks to the angle-like shape, the indicators of the reduced armor reach 166 mm, but this is not enough for the level of battles 8-9-10, in fact, you can only count on an occasional ricochet from the gun mantlet. Booking VLD and NLD is formally 60 mm, and taking into account the slope of the sheets, the armor is 120 mm.
In the side projection, the armor is 40 mm, there are no screens and rational angles here, so you need to be wary of artillery and other tanks with high-explosives. The damage from HEs will go to the maximum, which is fraught with the incapacitation of modules and crew members.
Advantages and disadvantages
Having dealt with the main characteristics, we can begin to review the strengths and weaknesses of this tank, so that later we can easily choose equipment and perks.
Pros:
- damage per minute;
- alpha strike;
- mobility;
- comfortable UVN.
Cons:
- bad booking;
- big size;
- mediocre accuracy and timing.
Equipment for Lansen C
For such a balanced machine, you should choose equipment that does not violate this property, so we correct the disadvantages and make the advantages even more powerful.
- Sender is the most popular module. And not in vain, it will increase such a necessary damage per minute, so this time you can’t do without it.
- Vertical stabilizer improve the accuracy of our machine.
- Improved ventilation – Boost to all crew skills.
Instead of the third item for a while, while the crew does not have the ability to increase visibility, it is recommended to set "enlightened optics".
Crew training
Skills leveled in the correct order provide a more comfortable game without wasting time on retraining. The crew of the vehicle consists of 4 tankers, the commander has a combined specialization with a radio operator.
We propose to train the crew in the following sequence:
Equipment for Lansen C
In order to choose consumables, we are guided by one rule. If you are short on silver, you can ride with a standard set of:
- small first aid kit;
- small repair kit;
- manual fire extinguisher.
However, if you have the opportunity to take a premium set, we definitely take it:
- large first aid kit;
- large repair kit;
- coffee with pastries(you can also take automatic fire extinguisher, but this machine rarely burns).
Tactics of the game on Lansen C
Based on the characteristics presented, we conclude that the Swede is a support technique. Its main task is to help in pushing through the enemy.
Of course, you can always fight from a distance. Armor penetration indicators allow you to inflict damage on enemy vehicles without damaging your own HP, but the problem is brewing from the accuracy of the Lansen C.
You can completely play from the relief. Elevation angles allow the Swede to do this. To implement the plan, it is enough to take an advantageous position on the map.
Always be aware of armor vulnerability, try to avoid melee. However, if it is unavoidable, strive to either constantly move, preventing the enemy from hitting you, or take a "diamond" position to increase the number of ricochet shots.
It is also important to remember the large size of the tank and try to take advantageous positions so as not to expose the body to the enemy. If there will be artillery in the battle, you should choose positioning even more carefully.
Always keep an eye on the mini-map, as well as the situation in battle.
Сonclusion
Lansen C is an assistant vehicle, a vehicle that can take advantageous positions faster than others in battle. On it, you can quickly gain damage and farm, as well as just enjoy a good fight.
I got a tank. I took a mark on the trunk. Pharmaceutical is pretty decent.
