Everything about the tank is designed to frustrate you:
- Its got a turret, but its traverse angle is really small.
- Its got an auto loader, but no burst, alpha, or DPM, All the downsides, none of the upsides.
- The gun has terrible aim time, accuracy and soft stats, youll be missing stuff at just a 100 metres other tanks have no issue with. oh and if your not wanting to fire gold the penetration is terrible.
- The armour is really good, until your fighting tier 9s who can mostly just fire gold through the turret front, and the thing was built to be an arty magnet.
Its not all bad, like in the right situation its fine, merely fine, when you take it on a heavy flank and can keep the lower plate hidden, its good, but compliant reliant on your team mates, because if they suck, you end up firing off 3 shots of damage and then the enemy overruns you in the reload.
It is also a victim of the matchmaker, because its a TD it gets paired up agaisnt TDs, on a lot of maps this can create a imbalance in were people are going, sometimes in your favour, you have more tanks on the heavy flank and win it easy. (upside you win, downside your do one clip of damage and your team is rolling through the enemy with half there hp already gone)
Or the enemy team has more firepower elsewere, they win that easy and your flanked before you can hit the 11 minute mark.
Its good at killing tier 7s, and dumb tier 8s, but its one of the worst tier 8 tds to play, id only rate the Ferdinand AT15 and Ho Ri as worse tbh, Since they join it in the slow, inflexible td role
