Biggest disappointment of 2022 – Obj.780

Hi guys, I wanna ask you what do you think about this tank -> Obj.780

Personally I feel like it was the biggest scam of 2022 that WH could do. I'm not even gonna talk about price…

ALTHOUGH IM HAPPY THIS IS NOT ANOTHER OBJ 279e

What I care actually is the fact that tank is actually shit, but then I was like.. hmm maybe it's unfair to call it this way?

So here are my pros :

-Low profile actually handy when you wanna hide and play with turret.
-Good mobility (I'm mainly 30km/h tanks player so 45 is like a speed demon for me 🤣)
-Really nice 267 mm pen on AP ammo
-Great shell velocity 1130 on AP and 1480 on prem APCR
-0.32 spread per 100m
– -7° gun depression, nothing outstanding but as for Russian when majority of the tanks are with -5° is nice little touch

As for cons…

-Again… Low profile, you can not aim for turret roofs and craft better angles since you are pretty much always looking up when facing enemy tank
-Easily pennable turret at roof and cheeks of the front
-3 weak spots at the top of the tank so you can not hide it and you can not play with turret like obj705A for example
-You can not side scrape and reverse sides crape because of armor angling although 100mm side armor is not bad
100mm front hull armor… shit as hell, good angling but it does not matter as soon as you meet Tier9+ not to mention HEAT ammo….

And my biggest drawback… lower plate that is really exposed and you can not play this tank without equipment that prevents you from getting set of fire… even German tanks are not suffering as much from Lowe plate hits as this tank does.

I'm pretty sure I missed something so feel free to add your points.

Also I wanna make it clear I'm casual player, with enough self awareness to call myself bad at this game, I'm playing it for fun and my average win ratio is 50,70% so maybe I just can not play with this tank but still… it's really a big disappointment after playing it for some time
