The holidays are approaching, and according to tradition, the developers will give all players a premium car. This year, the technique will be unusual and fun, so the majority of the game's audience should go.

Hello tankers! In World of Tanks, the "Christmas Offensive" will soon begin and along with it, players will be presented with a Tier 3 premium medium tank convert. Medium Tank T3. Don't be in a hurry to get upset at the low level, the developers got the equipment from the stash, which back in 2010 they planned to introduce into the game as an independent branch (but only up to the 4th level).
TTX Convert. Medium Tank T3

Firepower
The T3 Convert feature in the gun is an 8-round drum that fires bursts of 4 rounds with a reload between 0,50 sec. inside the store. He has 40 alpha, so you can get 320 damage from the drum, which is pretty good by the standards of the 3rd level. The main thing is then to retreat to a safe place or under the cover of allies for 15 seconds of the total cooldown.
The turret traverse speed is good, the aiming time is mediocre, and the accuracy is quite sad. The tank will be able to fight only at close range. By the way, you should pay attention to the excellent vertical aiming angles -15/15 degrees.
Ammunition characteristics:

It is worth noting the good speed of the projectiles, especially the gold sub-calibers, as for the 3rd level.
Vitality
Considering the level of battles and the class of vehicles, the lack of armor is not surprising. The margin of safety is not bad 450 units, but in general there is nothing outstanding in terms of booking, the technician does not forgive mistakes.
Mobility and intelligence
The maximum speed is good, as for a medium tank, and the high power density allows you to quickly accelerate. Maneuverability is also quite comfortable to maneuver in active firefights at close range. Surprisingly, it has excellent camouflage and a solid line of sight, even better than some light tanks.

Conclusion

In general, the tank turned out to be interesting and it’s hard to call it bad. At a minimum, it is just normal and can offer its own special gameplay, which not all cars have. Not for nothing that once upon a time the developers wanted to introduce it in a separate branch.
Of course, many would like something better, and some players will immediately sell the T3 Convert, but still, for beginners and that part of the players who prefer low-level battles, the technique should come in. Write in the comments what do you think about the gift and will you leave it in the Hangar?
This is a mediocre tank; it can sometimes penetrate only with gold, but if it does... oh, it's just brutal for the opponents, because you can get a one-shot with one reel (with full spin), but you can also fail to penetrate with gold in the side of this pseudo-casino. Most often, it doesn't penetrate, so you don't farm and don't get any pleasure from it, and you rarely roll it out.
I played it for a bit and sold it. But the tank isn't playable (and it's expensive).
A cool damage-dealing tank. The drum has some kind of New Year's magic. So much damage. I think it's overkill at level 3. Breaks randomness at low levels.
That's crap, they could have given me level 8.
This has never happened on New Year's and never will, but it's better than last year's PT, when everyone in the random room just stood in the bushes and waited.
and so they will roll around the field
Level 8?!
Shock THIS was born after crossing M2 Light and BT2. The faint of heart should not watch!!!
