Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger [aka Borsch] is a German tier eight tank destroyer. It is a machine, the main advantages of which are two very important indicators. However, we will analyze in order not only the characteristics, but also the necessary equipment, crew skills, as well as combat tactics, which will be the most successful.
TTX Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger
First of all, consider the radius of view of this tank. Here it is equal to 360 meters. A very mediocre result, which will necessarily be corrected with the help of equipment.
Driving performance also does not stand out among classmates. The mass of this tank destroyer is 21,29/23 tons, and the installed engine power is 207 horsepower. These indicators make up the parameter of the specific power of the machine - 9,73 hp / t.
According to the last value, we understand that we won’t have to wait for good dynamics and maximum speed. Chassis turning speed - 45,04 deg / s, and maximum speed - 35/12 km / h.
One of the strengths of the car is its silhouette and stealth factor. This tank destroyer has a very low silhouette. Hiding in the bushes, the Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger enters stealth mode. In this case, even the light does not light up when fired, of course, if the enemy is further than 50 meters.
Reservation
The German tank destroyer is very poorly armored - 20/10/8 mm. Here, no correct slopes of the armor plates can affect the fact that the car is shot through by literally everyone. One shot is enough for artillery, don't forget about it.
The engine here is located in front of the hull, and this must always be taken into account and the enemy should not be allowed into this part of the hull.
Cannon
The poor parameters of armor, mobility and everything else are fully compensated by the main advantage of this tank - armament.
Here you can choose one of the tenth level guns.
First gun 150mm Pak L/29.5, which is a weapon with a large one-time damage - 750/750/950 HP. Naturally, with such a large alpha strike, the rate of fire suffers. It is here equal to 3,5 shots per minute. In total, we get a very good result of damage per minute thanks to the same alpha strike - about 2250 units per minute.
At the same time, this gun has weak armor penetration - 215 mm. With this value, the game will only be effective at the top of the list. In other cases, you need to either charge gold or fight with high-explosive shells.
Accuracy is another disadvantage of this weapon. By installing this cannon on Borsch, we get a long aiming time - 2,3 seconds, a large dispersion at 100 meters - 0,38 meters, and poor stabilization. This weapon is notorious for being simply uncontrollably inaccurate at long ranges.
Alternative weapon 128 mm Kanone 44 L/55 has less one-time damage - 490/490/630 units. At the same time, the rate of fire here is higher, so this gun is capable of firing about 2550 damage per minute without taking into account modules and crew skills.
The armor penetration rate here is also much better, the average value is 246 millimeters. Such a result is capable of penetrating even top-end vehicles, and using extremely strong sub-calibers, it will even penetrate head-on.
The accuracy of this weapon is much higher than the previous one. The spread here is 0,33 per 100 meters, and the aiming time is 1,96 seconds. Thus, this gun will be able to shoot effectively at a distance of 300-400 meters.
The aiming angles on both the first gun and the second gun are controversial. On the one hand, there will be no problems with the UGN, because the gun rotates completely. But down the gun bends only five degrees, and this indicator cannot be called comfortable.
In order to continue the review, you need to select one of the guns. Both proposed guns are powerful, but let's take the 128mm one, as it is more comfortable to use.
Advantages and disadvantages
In order to better understand this unusual tank, we will analyze all its strengths and weaknesses.
Pros:
- stealth coefficient;
- damage per minute;
- one-time damage;
- armor penetration;
- full tower;
- weapons of choice.
Cons:
- booking;
- viewing radius;
- margin of safety;
- mobility;
- UVN;
- high probability of crew and module crits.
Equipment
Modules should be chosen wisely so as not to waste silver in vain. The equipment should work to enhance the advantages and correct the disadvantages. We propose to install such a set.
- Sender positively affects the amount of damage per minute, which is always very useful.
- Reinforced actuating actuators increase the aiming speed of the gun.
- Stereoscopic telescope will increase the viewing radius, and will also be very useful in the tactics of warfare, which we will offer below.
After pumping the crew, you can safely replace the second item with "camouflage net". In this case, it will be even more difficult to detect this tank destroyer.
Crew training
Mistakes in training take precious time for retraining, so it is very important to make the right choice right away. We propose a sequence that focuses mainly on the survivability of the tank, as well as increasing its stealth.
• Commander (radio operator) - , , , .
• Gunner - , , , .
• Driver mechanic - , , , .
• Loader - , , , .
Equipment for Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger
There are usually no difficulties here. You should focus on your stock of silver. With its economy or lack, we take a standard kit in the form of:
- small first aid kit;
- small repair kit;
- manual fire extinguisher.
And if there is an opportunity to take a premium set, feel free to buy it:
- large first aid kit;
- large repair kit;
- automatic fire extinguisher (Chocolate can also be taken, but the front engine layout makes you think about it. In any case, this item is at the discretion of the tanker).
Tactics of the game
Having once again assessed the characteristics of the vehicle, we conclude that the best position in battle will be being in the bushes and in cover. This is due to weak armor and good camouflage.
As soon as possible, take advantageous positions away from the first line. Make sure that bad elevation angles do not interfere with the implementation of damage.
Try not to engage in close combat at all. The only means of protecting a tank destroyer is its invisibility on the battlefield. In a head-to-head battle, you will have to rely on damage per minute and banal luck.
In addition to trying not to get into enemy radars at all, it is important to remember about the mini-map and constantly monitoring the development of the battle.
Сonclusion
This tank destroyer is an unusual and very powerful tank. The main advantage of the Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger is its invisibility on the battlefield and, of course, the weapon parameters.
Hello, this is Miroslav, is this Fri self-propelled guns normal or not
Hello Miroslav! This tank destroyer is one of the best in the game due to its excellent camouflage, excellent gun (many people like the stock gun more than the top one) and a full-rotation turret.
