Obj 140 Tech Tree Recommendation for Beginners

Why Obj 140 tech tree?

– The Tier V and Tier VI vehicles (T-34 and T-34-85) are really good medium tanks. Usually, new players quit World of Tanks before they reach the tier VIII. Decent mid-tier vehicles is crucial for beginners to keep playing the game.

– Due to these features, the difficulty of grinding the tech tree is relatively easy.

Pros

Other Features

– The upper plate of hull armor is reliable when angled properly and the sidescraping is possible if you don't overangle.

How to Play

P.S: Some people may concern that the Obj 140 is no more the foremost tier X medium tanks due to low alpha damage. However, the most important reason of this recommendation is the difficulty of grinding. For example, STB-1 also has great DPM and better gun depression, however, it would be total suffering for beginners to grind STB-1 tech tree without substantial amount of free xp.
