•Commander (radio operator) - , , , .
• Gunner - , , , .
•Driver mechanic - , , , .

Listed above are the most relevant perks that are recommended to be upgraded as the crew trains. More often, Tier 10 tanks already have a trained crew, but since this is a premium vehicle, the above recommendations will come in handy. It is also worth considering that the commander combines the profession of a radio operator, so the pumped perks must be properly divided.
Equipment for Object 279 (p)
This heavy tank is fighting on the front line, so the following equipment should be placed:
- Large caliber rammer. Standard equipment for a tank with a long reload time.
- Improved ventilation. All vehicle stats will be improved by 5%.
- Vertical stabilizer. The tank's gun is relatively accurate, so the stabilizer will improve performance when firing on the move and turning the turret.
Alternative option: Instead of ventilation, you can put coated optics and increase the viewing radius.

How to play Object 279 (p)
First of all, it is worth highlighting the feature of the new tank in the game. Since the body of the tank rests on 4 tracks, it lacks a lower frontal part. This means that the traditional weak point for all tanks is simply not there.
The tank turret is monolithic and has practically no weak areas in the frontal part. The tank is designed for first-line firefights, and it does not need to hide the hull.
The upper frontal part does not have much armor, but sharp corners increase the reduced armor, and ricochets often occur due to the unique shape.
The only weak point is the sides.
But even here everything is not so simple. Again, the shape of the tank plays a significant role, because of which the shells often ricochet. However, the sides do not hold back the shells of classmates as much as the VLD, so tanking with the sides is not recommended. And there is no need to do this, since it is standard to tank with the side to cover the vulnerable lower armor plate, which is missing from the Object 279.
Armed with a 122 mm gun with a one-time damage of 440 HP. This is an average indicator among heavy tanks of the 10th level. It is worth noting the good accuracy and stabilization, in which the tank will be effective not only at close range. The turret of the tank is strong, but with a low silhouette. This means that the gun does not have large vertical declination angles, so the most effective position will be behind embankments and heaps.
The specific engine power is 14 hp/t, so the Object 279 (p) will confidently reach a maximum speed of 40 km/h. The disadvantages include slow agility, both the chassis and the turret. It follows from this that it is categorically not recommended for a tank to fight in open spaces, since even a medium tank with good mobility can spin.
The maximum view radius is average for 10 levels, but not the lowest. With a trained crew and installed equipment, a Soviet heavy tank will illuminate the enemy at a distance of more than 420 m.
Conclusion
Object 279 (p) appeared in the game quite recently. To get a unique technique, the player will have to complete a large number of the most difficult personal combat missions. However, the tank is worth spending a lot of time on it. The vehicle is unique primarily due to its structure, since it is the first tank in the game that does not have a lower frontal detail. You will not meet this car often, so it is impossible to describe what kind of enemy it is. Judging by the individual videos of popular bloggers, the Object 279 is an interesting tank with its own unique characteristics and gameplay.
