I really love this tank and it makes me sad to see that the premium one is blatantly better…
The main problem is its speed:
First off, 12km/h reverse speed is understandable, as it balances out the ability to fire a salvo(You're not meant to get back to cover quickly after doing double damage(Strangely, the 703 doesn't have this issue………….)). But the top speed of 34km/h just pisses me off. It seriously stunts this tank. It can't catch up with the team, can't reposition without taking damage, etc… For something with such mediocre frontal hull armour, speed is important. It should be at least 38km/h.
It seems like Wargaming purposefully made this tank weak so they could sell the 703 II to more players… Why would you buy a premium tank with a cool feature when there's a tech tree version that's just as fun?
