Playing B.U.G.I. right now, some thoughts

And it's a weird experience. I was expecting something similar to an inaccurate version of old T-34-85, when it had D-10T aka 100mm gun.

It's like T25 where autoloader damage potential is glued together in-to a 1 shot from 100mm gun. But like, has a huge, long hull and for having a decent specific power stat, it's so sluggish.

The gun, slightly strange i guess, but in a positive way. It's a derp-gun, technically but with AP it's a punchy HT-esque gun, a shell velocity is very good, Chi-To/Chi-Ri gun somehow has noticeably worse shell velocity somehow. If aimed fully it's no better or worse than soviet 85mm guns.

Strange vehicle overall for me. It's basically a heavy tank disguised as a medium.

• Has a punch of a solid HT6 (ARL 44 with 105mm gun, O-I, T-150) but with a better DPM.
• Slow, sluggish like most HT6.
• Has bouncy armour, but it's not reliable. Again, like most HT6, they kind of have armour but have huge weak spot (turret for ARL 44, frontal part of tracks for Churchill VII, etc.)

I fail to understand it's combat role. It's definitely not a versatile MT because of it's mobility and inaccurate gun. Not a brawler, but devastating at close range. Not a sniper, since lacks accuracy and has poor dispersion on 100 mm gun. Lacks scouting abilities too, bad camo, low view range.

I guess it's closer to T-34-3, like some kind of a 2nd line direct cannon support and when things are bad – a half-baked sniper.

If i cared about actually grinding PL MT branch, i would have not bothered with suspension and engine, since even having best modules installed it's still slow and sluggish. No point using other guns, since 40TP is better for that. It's one of the two tanks in the whole Polish tree i was interested and sadly, it's simply not a tank for me. I wonder if CS-44 will be better since on paper it looks really good in all aspects, basically T20 with worse gun depression and some armour.

Overall PL tree seems like it has B.U.G.I. and 60TP and may be 50TP. Everything else is just a stepping stone for 60TP. That and probably premium HT8, MT8.
