A pumpable tank capable of bending down and at the same time farming well is ready to declare itself in a random house.
Hello tankers! With you Wotpack and an overview of the new level 6 upgradeable Polish medium tank BUGI in World of Tanks. First of all, the unusual name "BOOGIE" is striking. There are two options for associations:
- boogie-woogie musical style;
- the character of folklore Boogeyman (Buka), who was used to frighten naughty children.
But in fact, everything is much more prosaic - the tank owes its name to four specialists from the armaments committee. The first letters of their surnames were taken in the name. Initially BUGI It was planned as a concept for a heavy tank, but things did not go beyond the drawing.
Polish "eagle" or medium tank of level 6 with the highest one-time damage in World of Tanks.
Hello tankers! With you Wotpack and a guide to the Polish tier 6 medium tank BUGI in World of Tanks. With the release of update 1.10, a branch of Polish medium tanks was introduced into the game. Let's try to figure out if the "Eaglet" will change the gameplay when playing in the "Fortified Areas" at the sixth levels?
TTX BUGI
Let's compare the parameters of our average peasant with his classmates.
Firepower
The table shows the figures for a 90mm gun, but BUGI also has a 100mm HE gun that we would recommend playing with.
By setting 90 mm gun, we will get lowest damage per minute from medium tanks of the sixth level, but at the same time, one of the largest single - 240 units. Accuracy and aiming time indicators are not encouraging - the lowest among the same-level "middle peasants" (the dispersion of the gun per 100m is 0,4, and the aiming time is 2,7 seconds). The depressing impression of the gun is slightly compensated by high armor penetration in a 156 mm base projectile and a 198 mm sub-caliber projectile, which allows us to confidently deal damage to tanks two levels higher.
A 100 mm gun radically changes the situation for the better. Its armor penetration is 53 mm with a high-explosive fragmentation projectile and 168 mm with an armor-piercing (gold), and one-time damage is 410 and 300 units respectively. Therefore, playing on the BB, we break into the TOP from the last places in the DPM among our “classmates”.
The reload speed and aiming time are lower than on the 90 mm gun, they are 8,3 and 2,6 seconds, only the spread has increased - 0,5 per 100m. It should be noted that when playing on BB, penetration is enough to cause damage to vehicles two levels older from close and medium distances, and from afar we can confidently torment them with high-explosive fragmentation shells - inflicting minor damage, but at the same time critical modules (fortunately, we have a very large ammunition load).
It is difficult to call vertical aiming angles good. They are -8/20 degrees, you can’t play much from the hills - the trunk does not fall. Of the positive qualities, it is also worth highlighting enough good stabilization on both guns.
Vitality
The tank has a decent safety margin - 840 units. Armor, compared to the same medium tanks, is also present. The hull is mediocrely protected - there are armor plates of 55/40/40 mm (forehead / side / stern), but the armor of the tower pleases (especially in the frontal projection) - 100/60/40 mm (forehead / side / stern).
The positive sides of the hull and turret are rational tilt angles (the only negative is a rather large lower armor plate), which often leads to non-penetration and ricochets on us from long and medium distances, when we are in the TOP in battle. When playing against vehicles of the same level or higher, we do not recommend relying heavily on armor. Tanking with a tower will turn out 50 to 50, after all, nobody forbade the use of gold shells by the enemy, and with their use, our tower beats to take off and we can only hope for a ricochet.
Mobility and intelligence
У BUGI mobility among tanks of the same type is low. Despite the largest number of horses, the tank is also the heaviest. It feels like you're playing hard. Maximum forward/reverse speed (55/11 km/h). The engine power is not enough for the tank to dynamically accelerate and maintain good speed indicators when driving uphill.
Chassis turning speed leaves much to be desired at only 35,46 degrees per second - spinning the enemy will be problematic. Stealth of a stationary car and in motion is low, especially after a shot. The "eagle" can watch the enemy with a view of 360 m - not the highest figure among classmates, but decent enough for its level.
Advantages and disadvantages
After reviewing in detail the tactical and technical characteristics of the Polish Tier 6 medium tank BUGI We can highlight its strengths and weaknesses.
Advantages:
- high one-time damage;
- good gun stabilization;
- ricochet booking;
Disadvantages
- mediocre accuracy;
- long mixing;
- visibility of the tank;
- not very comfortable UVN
Equipment selection for BUGI
Installing additional modules for this machine implies an increase in damage per minute and mobility.
- turbocharger (exactly in the 1st slot, to achieve the bonus) - we add + 10% to the engine power, and also increase the maximum speed forward / backward by + 5/3 km / h, respectively (the tank literally comes to life before our eyes - both the speed and dynamics of acceleration appear, turning us from underweight to a full-fledged ST)
- gun rammer - speed up reloading, thereby increasing the amount of damage dealt;
- improved turning mechanisms – we increase the turret traverse speed and reduce the dispersion of the gun by 10% when both the turret and the vehicle itself move.
Crew training for BUGI
The BUGI crew consists of four people: commander, gunner, mechanic-driver, loader. The commander combines the specialization of a radio operator.
Using the skills of the crew, we are trying to reduce the negative indicators of the gun of our tank - we reduce its dispersion and increase the reload speed, and additionally increase its mobility. Since the “passing” tank focuses on the first three perks, the rest are optional.
The commander, from the start, should take the skill Sixth sense. Then we take Mentor - this will help us upgrade the crew faster, which is very important for tanks in the middle of the research branch (if you pour experience from benefits, you can skip it).
The ability to improve the stabilization of the gun will help us Smooth turret rotation at the gunner.
Off-road king, studied by the driver, will reduce the resistance of soils, which will positively affect the speed and dynamics of the machine.
Emboldening Salvo Desperate for the loader, it will significantly speed up the reloading of the gun in critical situations, and with our one-time damage, we become a very formidable opponent for the enemy.
Equipment selection
We recommend the following set of consumables:
- large first aid kit;
- large repair kit;
- bread with lard.
The choice of pre-combat instruction should be used to increase the gun's stabilization index or to decrease the reload speed:
- no sudden movements
- rational ammunition;
How to play BUGI
Let's look at the final configuration, taking into account the above recommendations (a 90 mm gun is installed):
The reload speed of the gun and its aiming time have been significantly reduced compared to the baseline, which means that we will be able to use our one-time damage more often. Engine power increased, followed by an increase in specific power - a decent dynamics appeared. Added maximum speed and chassis turning speed. As a result, we got a first-class breakthrough tank from a slow and insecure "middle peasant".
The car is designed to play on the first, maximum second (when we get into fights with opponents two levels older) because of the shelters. The gameplay is similar to playing on the Soviet Object 430U tank. We quickly take a position in cover near the enemy, providing the allies with X-ray light. They rolled out, strongly "pecked" the enemy and hid back. The enemy should be caught while reloading the gun, after hitting him with artillery (while he is stunned), or relying on the armor of the tower - it depends on the level of the battle we got into.
The tank feels more comfortable in the city, among walls and debris, rather than in open space. Elevation angles are not the best, you won't be able to play on steep hills, and in the urban slums there is simply no such thing. There are also problems with camouflage and visibility - vegetation does not help, rather it interferes. Therefore, on the maps it is worth choosing plots with buildings. If you can’t push through the direction of the attack, you can move to the other flank and try your hand there - mobility allows. It is necessary to become on the defensive only in extreme cases, and then try to bring the battle to a "close" one, exclusively on conditions favorable to us.
Results
Medium Polish tank tier 6 BUGI is a "passing" machine. We counted more disadvantages than advantages. It is not particularly suitable for fortified areas - there are more interesting cars. You can fully play it only with large infusions of silver and a very pumped crew, which is not typical for tanks of the 6th level. In general, the car is neither good nor bad, has its own characteristics in the gameplay and just stands in the way of exploring more interesting cars.
tank mediocre s***!!! recharge of art at level 8 - 10 sec is this the norm for art?? not heavy and not stiff - but what’s in the middle in the hole - YYYYYY as usual from sour
I don’t think so, here imba is kv 2 oh su 100 art, but I don’t know this
