The best in terms of class gameplay and performance characteristics. The most relevant for pumping now is to bend over at random and perform LBZ.
Hello tankers! Wotpack is with you, and today we have three branches of medium tanks in line, which can currently be recommended for pumping. We have prepared a brief overview of the technique of each of the branches included in the rating.
Overview of the branch Progetto M40 mod. 65
Italian medium tanks are the only ones equipped with a reloading mechanism. In skillful hands, this feature makes them a very dangerous opponent, if you learn how to combine cyclic reloading with drum reloading. But the weakness of this branch lies in their own peculiarities, because not every player will be able to effectively use the reloading mechanism, taking into account the other advantages and disadvantages of the Italian MT.
P.43, P.43bis and P.43ter
Tanks from 5 to 7 levels are very similar to each other. Each next model inherits the advantages and disadvantages of the previous one, simply by getting an increase in performance characteristics. Among the strengths are:
- sufficient armor penetration;
- good one-time damage;
- acceptable OHL;
- good dynamics;
- good frontal armor for its level.
They have few drawbacks, but they are:
- mediocre accuracy;
- long summary.
A couple of minuses are more than covered by strengths, so the technique is played quite comfortably, but caution does not hurt.
P.44 Pantera
Starting from level 8, a weapon with a reloading mechanism becomes available. In stock, this tank is very weak with mediocre characteristics, but it is transformed after being transferred to the top. The stock chassis allows you to research and install all the other modules first, which will make leveling a little easier. In this case, a new gun can be opened immediately, with the first module.
P.44 Pantera has a fairly comfortable top-end gun with good armor penetration and good accuracy, and three shells in the magazine are enough to take half the safety margin of a single-level tank. Compared to its predecessors, the angle of inclination of the gun has improved. The frontal armor of the hull and turret sometimes catches ricochets from vehicles of its tier. Large dimensions are sometimes difficult to hide behind shelters, so you need to remember about the weak armor of the hull from the sides.
Prototype Standard B
The "Nine" is primarily distinguished by the front location of the tower, which makes it the owner of the best UVN in its branch, but at the same time, the gun does not lower from behind. To what extent can this model be compared with a cluster tank destroyer:
- cardboard armor;
- good stealth coefficient for ST;
- very high armor penetration, even more than some "tens";
- high flight speed of the base sub-caliber projectile.
Good dynamics allows Standard B quickly occupy key points on the map, and the view is enough to detect an approaching enemy. Playing from the slopes, it can go unnoticed and in a short period of time, having completely discharged the magazine, cause significant damage to enemy vehicles or, at the end of the battle, finish off enemies with half HP.
Progetto M40 mod. 65
The crown of the Italian branch of medium tanks is one of the leaders this year in terms of average damage per battle and percentage of victories. If it were not for the difficulty of using the reloading mechanism, taking into account the other characteristics of the vehicle, then most players would have pumped it out, and not the Object 430U.
The gun differs from the previous model only in an increase in accuracy and speed of information. The 4th shell was added to the magazine, and the reload time was slightly accelerated. It became more difficult to implement the reloading mechanism, because the alpha strike remained unchanged, therefore it is inferior to classmates. At the same time, the reloading of even 1 projectile is quite long, so when playing from a cyclic one, it will still lose by DPM.
But in such a situation, you need to be careful, because a full reload takes a long time, so left without shells, the tank needs the cover of allies.
With the correct use of the reload mechanism, this technique is capable of injecting a huge amount of damage per battle. But not everyone can master this gameplay, so it is in 3rd place.
