40mm of side armor because why not. that gun slot in the front better be less than that
Might use bond aiming, loader and vents idk, i dont like the accuract for a strv type gun.
What’s next 1000 alpha for T8??? Idiotic game…fix Mm first!
550 is pretty average for tier 8 tds.
Only way it could be more big standard is if it was 490 since like half the tier 8 tds get that.
WoT players looking for anything and everything to complain about instead of just not playing and doing something enjoyable instead.
+5/-5 top/reverse speed in Siege mode? Even the S1 has +8/-8 in Siege mode.
Are they suggesting putting a bloody Bond Turbo on this thing to make feel reasonable to play?
Otherwise, everything you can do with this thing is the exact how you play with the UDES 03, camping at the fcking redline.
Then its armor becomes irrelevant.
Then it doesn’t have good enough accuracy to be a good sniper.
I expected at least +10/-10 since they gave this thing decent amount of armor and not very good accuracy.
But oh well, looks like those who created this thing had some vodka when they were making it.
Because right now this thing doesn’t make any sense. It doesn’t even have a clear role in the game.
Well you can do it like ISU 152, playing at 300m less and peek a boom, the siege mode is only when you have to snipe from a far, it has the mobility and decent enough camo to do surprise shots then peek back into the corner
Why should I play this thing over those ISU-152s then?
200 less alpha, less overmatching opportunities, -5 gun depress + no gun arc, and probably the most disgusting gun stabilization outside of Siege mode for what benefits?
I personally want a Siege mode TD because I’m too lazy to grind the line, and I also don’t want the S1 because that thing is too passive for my liking.
So I actually wanted this thing when I first saw it.
But if they wanna sell this thing to me then obviously, they gotta do a better job.
Well ISU doesnt have 50km/h and 20km/h reverse, superior armor of 110mm that’s sloped (not counting the MG cupola) so enemies will have somewhat harder time to shoot you back. Of course you can look forward to the SU-122V instead, it might fit your playstyle more than this tank.
Its UFP is NOT at auto-ricochet angle when you sit on level ground, especially when facing higher tanks. 80mm won’t do anything.
It only gets to the auto-ricochet angle when you use its -5 base gun depress.
Because its gun is actually NOT fixed to the hull entirely.
The gun cannot move left and right, but can move up by +20 and down by -5.
This Kust TD has 110m thickness and definitely over 60 degrees sloped, that should give it at least 230-240mm protection on flat ground, doing slight angling can increase the chance to bounce. The SU 122V has 80mm front, sure, but it’s 74 degrees on flat ground which means auto-ricochet, and it has 135mm front side armor that can bounce definitely everything in tier 8 if you can do it skillfully enough (which i believe you know what to do so i wont discuss further). It can also move the gun 3 degrees on each side so it should make the tank somewhat easier to play so if you are into aggressive play, this tank definitely should fit your needs
I just take a look at the SU-122V in 1.26.1 CT, and it’s very disappointing tbh.
The biggest reason is its mobility, which is horrible.
15 hp/t with terrible ground resistance and poor traverse speed is a combo that you never wanna see.
It has no gun outside of Siege mode, unless you stick its face to another tank then you can hit your shot but that’s it.
I’m saying it’s disappointing not because it’s a bad tank.
In facts, with all of its tools, it’s actually a very decent tank that can work ridgelines okayish (not excellent because at close range everyone will be able to hit its weak mantlet) and also snipe well.
It’s just extremely poor in any city map due to the mobility issue.
The huge LFP makes its armor irrelevant when you can’t go hulldown.
No gun handling outside of Siege mode.
No mobility outside of Siege mode.
Basically, you’re left with no option but to hope that the enemy team is stupid enough to put on a decent performance when getting into city maps.
No mobility inside* of Siege mode.
If the roof turret isn’t a weakspot this thing is going to dominate in siege mode, no gun in the game will be able to overmatch its UFP.
Stop commenting on things you clearly don’t understand lol
No human plays a fascist ruZZian shittank anyway. All who would play it, are dying in agony after a drone hit “winning” a barn and 10m a weeks of Ukrainian land xD. No sane person plays ORC / subhuman shit.
You okay bro?
must be so easier to live your life when you are this fucking stupid
It’s no surprise normal people from all over the world are reluctant to the western camp, when they know 4-leg specimen with 1 digit IQ, like virgin InYourSistersButt, live there… This is the west nowadays! 30-40 years ago, many people would go / run from Eastern Europe to the west! Now, it’s the other way around! 😀
Oh, no, another cheap nafo bot that enjoys swallowing filthy neo-Nazi ukrainian socks… I know it’s an unpleasant experience, but only you can stop your personal ordeal!
Do a useful thing in your entire useless existence, you brainwashed sub-monkey, get a bag of explosives, go to your ukro-orc friends and blow all of you up! Good luck!
Nothing wrong with neo-Nazis.
I guess enjoy living in Níggerville, USA
Oh, another neo-Nazi pig who loves KKK. I do hope, this time, pEoPlE like you will be targeted, so maybe next time you won’t say there is nothing wrong with all sorts of imbeciles inciting to hate!
Just gtfo my face and go to bed. Tomorrow you have to go to school and better take good grades if you truly want the next PS or Xbox!
PS I never said I live in garbage usa and there is nothing that suggests this aspect. Having an English username doesn’t mean you live in uk, usa or canada. But, judging by your nickname, there is a 99% posibility you living in usa, where methamphetamine is widely used! 😀
Nobody is inciting hate here – except you and your bizarre racist conspiracy theories.
Why not go outside and touch grass.
Is that skyscraper of a cupola/mini MG Turret gonna be a weakspot or …?
