One of the most imposing "tens", the best among classmates, the leader in terms of win percentage and average damage per battle.
Hello tankers! Wotpack is with you and we have prepared a guide for Object 268/4 Soviet tier 10 tank destroyers in World of Tanks. Consider the performance characteristics in comparison with other representatives of this class, determine the best equipment option and figure out where to punch Ob. 268/4. This car was nerfed in patch 1.0.2, but it still continues to bend in random.
TTX Object 268/4
For a deeper acquaintance with the parameters of the vehicle, we have selected the tank destroyers closest to it, which can also play the role of assault vehicles. After all, everything is known in comparison.
Firepower
The Object 268/4 has a 152 mm gun with a one-time damage of 650 units, which is the lowest indicator among all tank destroyers with a gun of this caliber. Armor penetration with a basic armor-piercing projectile is 293 mm, and with a special cumulative 360 mm.
Ammunition characteristics:
The speed of the projectiles is good against the background of the vehicles presented, the ammunition consists of 30 pieces.
Belongs to the number of reckless tank destroyers. Elevation angles are -5…+15°, so it will be bad to lower the gun. But the horizontal guidance angles are more convenient -12 ... + 12 ° and have a better control of the enemy, without the need to turn the hull.
The spread at 100 meters is 0,4, the worst among classmates, completely unsuitable for long-range shooting. The convergence time is acceptable 2,4 seconds. The cannon reloads in 16,3 seconds, which allows it to fire 3,68 rounds per minute with a potential damage of only 2393 units.
Where to pierce Object 268 option 4
The safety margin is not bad at 2000 units, but many players have a question about booking Object 268/4. Therefore, we will consider this point in detail, show the main points on the booking scheme and write down the nuances:
- Triplex. It breaks through many tanks of level 8, its size is rather big, so you can aim.
- The upper part of the VLD is pierced by cumulative projectiles from 340 mm and sub-caliber 320 mm.
- The main part of the VLD is practically impenetrable.
- NLD is also divided into two parts. The first one (in red in the diagram) does not break through at all. This is a key difference from many tanks, because newcomers try to shoot there first of all out of habit.
- The second part of the NLD (the lower strip adjacent to the bottom) is already breaking through. If Ob. 268/4 descends from above (for example, from a hill), then the angle of entry of the projectile changes and the chances of penetrating this strip increase.
- Shooting at the wheelhouse and the top of the tower does not make sense.
Also, the machine is easily placed on the skating rink, at almost any angle, so you need to turn the body as little as possible. If you go around, then from the sides and stern it breaks through without problems.
Other indicators
The mass of the car is quite large 75 tons (only the Yagi E100 is higher), but due to the very powerful engine, the specific power is 18 hp / t, which allows you to gain a maximum speed forward of 50 km / h and back 18 km / h. Taking into account the armor, we can say that the Object 268 option 4 has the best combination of mobility and survivability.
A significant drawback is the low chassis turn rate of 22,95 ° / s, so any ST, LT and even some TTs can spin it. At the same time, despite the dimensions and armor of the vehicle, it has a good stealth coefficient. But the viewing radius is the smallest 370 meters.
Advantages and disadvantages
After a detailed acquaintance with the performance characteristics of the Object 268 option 4, we can highlight its strengths and weaknesses.
Advantages:
- good booking in the frontal projection;
- good projectile speed allows you to fire more accurately ahead of the curve;
- comfortable UGN;
- a good stealth coefficient, as for such dimensions of equipment;
- very strong NLD;
- excellent dynamics;
- good patency on soils (practically does not lose speed).
Disadvantages:
- small alpha strike;
- poor accuracy;
- low DPM;
- poor maneuverability;
- the presence of vulnerable zones in the frontal projection;
- small angle of declination of the gun;
- low viewing radius and communication range.
As you can see, the technique is replete with an abundance of strengths and weaknesses, so when playing it, keep in mind what is more important and priority for you, so that the "top ten" lives up to expectations and the time spent on pumping.
Equipment selection for Object 268/4
Installing additional modules is an important point when playing at 10 levels. In most cases. Here a lot depends on how pumped up the crew is and whether it is possible to carry Doppacks with you. Consider the main and alternate builds:
- improved ventilation - increase in all the main characteristics of the machine, a universal option for increasing firepower, mobility and visibility;
- rammer - Required to install to speed up reloading and increase DPM.
But the choice in the third slot has several options, so when installing it, it is better to be guided by personal preferences:
- reinforced aiming drives - we converge faster, we shoot faster, we are less under enemy fire;
- super-heavy anti-fragmentation lining - reduces the stun time by 10%, increases the crew's defense, significantly reduces damage from high-explosive fragmentation shells and ramming. First of all, this is a precautionary measure against artillery, and even so, in a random house, there are enough fans to leave with land mines if they cannot pierce in the forehead;
- enlightened optics - will increase the viewing radius by 37 meters, the best option for an inexperienced crew and in case you do not plan to spend money on additional rations.
Crew training for Object 268/4
This tank destroyer has five tankers, including two loaders, and the commander has a combined specialization with a radio operator. We recommend the following set of skills:
Impact of Skills and Order of Study
Let's start with the general perks. First of all, be sure to download Repair, because the tracks are one of the main problems of the car and knock them down quite often. The Brotherhood of War will increase all the characteristics of the vehicle, but it only works if all tankers have learned 100%, so it's better to take it early by resetting the skills that have been in effect since the moment of learning.
The commander will have to choose the skills of the radio operator to increase visibility: Radio interception+ 11,1 meters and An eagle eye + 7,4 meters.
Improve stabilization Smooth turret rotation и Smooth running. We choose the gunner Sniper to increase the crit chance of enemy modules, and the driver Virtuzato improve maneuverability.
Nothing new can be invented with loaders. We take one Contactless ammo rackto increase the strength of its own module, and the second Desperate to speed up reloading when the HP drops below 200 units. Finally, we put both Intuition, since the effect of the skill is cumulative, there will be a higher chance to immediately change the projectile.
Equipment selection
Consumables also play an important role when playing on tops, so improved ones are already a priority here. In general, the kit has a standard look:
- repair kit (+10% repair speed is very important here);
- first-aid kit;
- automatic fire extinguisher.
If the silver supply allows, then the third slot can be replaced with a national dish Doppayek by +10% to crew skills until the end of the battle.
How to play Object 268 option 4
Before we move on to tactics in battle, let's look at the final configuration, taking into account our recommendations:
This tank destroyer belongs to the category of assault tank destroyers, which is facilitated by good frontal armor. While poor accuracy and low visibility do not allow you to sit in the rear. This build option is more tenacious, given the fact that in battle you often have to play against three self-propelled guns
in positional play try hide the body behind embankments or dilapidated objects, so that only the commander's cupola remains from the vulnerable zones (by maneuvering for the reload time, you can minimize the chance of hitting it). In the same time poor angle of depression of the gun, when playing on rough terrain it sometimes forces it to roll forward strongly, which is better not to do (the lower part of the NLD opens).
Good dynamics allows you to take important positions and hold them until slower allies approach. Although the gun does not shine with alpha, penetration is quite enough.
Poor maneuverability makes this Tank Destroyer an easy target in open areas, so don't be tempted by a good maximum speed and remember to have cover behind.
Results
Object 268 option 4 at the moment one of the highest priority tank destroyers for pumping. It is relevant in Ranked Battles, welcomed in many clans and simply bends over in a random house. She has already been nerfed normally, but rather even balanced (well, she was too tough), so you can safely download, since in the near future they will definitely not cut her stats.
