FV4202: tank review, specifications and comparison

World of Tanks is a game that does not let millions of players to this day. Regular updates, tournaments and events hold a lot of players online tightly. But there are also disadvantages. For example, donat. Paid ammunition, reinforced tanks and additional benefits that premium players have. Today we will talk about the premium tank FV4202.

general description

A review of the FV4202 should begin with the fact that it is a real machine. Despite the fact that the production of this equipment was not put on stream, in the period 1956-1959 an experimental model was assembled.

In the game, the tank is a premium middle class car, which can be purchased for 7300 coins. The price is unreasonably high for a level 8 car. Given that the repair of such equipment after the battle is also very high, the player will have to regularly spend money on a premium account. But this is the problem of all battles at levels after the 6th. Fights are less likely to pay off.

Modules

Continuing the review of the FV4202, you should evaluate its parts. Like most premium cars, there is no choice what exactly should be installed on the tank in order to increase its efficiency. But how beneficial is it to use in battle in principle?

  • The FV4202 turret has the armor typical of most conventional tanks, but its strong point is the frontal defense of 220 units. At this level, this allows you to withstand most direct collisions with minimal damage, but nothing more.
  • The OQF 20-pdr Gun Type B Barrel gun has a penetration of 226/252/46 units by various types of ammunition. As you can see, such a gun allows the tank to destroy the models of the same name without any problems.
  • An engine with a capacity of 650 units has a significant drawback - a 20% chance of fire.
  • The undercarriage provides a turning speed of 40 degrees. A fairly high rate among medium tanks.
  • The radio gives a communication radius of 750 meters. Also not a very good indicator. But medium tanks do not really need it. Cars are responsible for intelligence.

Specifications

Now you can review FV4202 for the aggregate parameters that are used directly in battle. How to consider them correctly?

  • The firepower of the tank is such that, with all successful hits, it is capable of dealing up to 1757 damage per minute. This may not be enough to destroy the enemy’s heavy tank, so it’s worth playing very carefully.
  • The survivability of the tank is also not credible. 1400 units of "health", low armor at the tower and even lower at the hull.
  • The tank is capable of speeds up to 50 km / h, which is good news. This indicator, as it were, hints that the survival of the machine depends on its mobility and control, and not withstanding many hits.
  • The invisibility of the tank is very low and ranges from 10%.

Equipment

The next thing that we will consider in the review of FV4202 (p) is how to close the “holes” and the weak spots of the machine. This is usually done at the expense of additional equipment. What are you simply obligated to use?

  • Dosilatel - to increase the reload speed.
  • Vertical aim stabilizer - to reduce the dispersion during firing.
  • Improved ventilation. If you are going to play from the "active light", then replace with optics.

As consumables, you can use the standard set of first-aid kit, repair kit and fire extinguisher. If necessary, the latter can be replaced with a large repair kit. Ignition of the car is rare, despite the high chance.

With the ammunition is better not to rush. Armor-piercing shells, although they can damage heavy vehicles, but cost a little more than usual. But the damage is not reduced, as on many other tanks. Thus, choosing between penetration / damage, there are only two options.

  • 226/230;
  • 258/230.

In this case, it is recommended to purchase shells in a ratio of 2 to 1. That is, 30 armor-piercing, 17 sub-caliber and 3 high-explosive. This will allow you to inflict enough damage on almost any vehicle on the battlefield.

Crew - General Skills

In the review of the FV4202 tank, we already examined how to cover its weak points. In order to make this technique even stronger, you will need a properly trained crew.

Desert storm

First of all, as with most other machines, you need to pump "battle brotherhood". It will increase all the important characteristics of technology.

Then worry about the “Disguise” of all crew members. We already found out in the review of FV4202 (WoT) that this characteristic suffers greatly. Increase it by learning the appropriate skill from the crew.

We continue the review of perks FV4202. Repair is one of the most important components for any car. It also needs to be studied by all your "military".

Thus, three out of five skill cells in your crew will be occupied by “common” perks. They are activated and work only when pumped at all. Therefore, you do not need to study them individually. Be careful.

Individual skill

Then you can proceed to individual training. For example, the commander vitally needs the sixth sense and eagle eye perks. This will allow you not only to avoid detection, but also to be the first to notice the enemy.

The gunner must know the skills of "smooth turn of the tower" and "sniper". The first will reduce the information time, the second will increase the power of the shot. Quite a typical skill set for medium tanks.

The Mekhvod should study the “King of impassability” and “Smooth running”. Everything is clear here. It is also a standard set of perks, allowing you to move faster and shoot more accurately.

The latter is charging. "Contactless ammunition" will increase the survival of the machine in cases of shooting at your weak spots. Radio interception will also increase your viewing range.

Remember that skills only begin to work when fully learned. What to download - you choose. If we take the “fighting brotherhood” from everyone as the first skill, this will undoubtedly raise all the characteristics of the machine. But with the second skill you might think. "Masking" and "repair" are not so important, so they can be studied later, and before that, pump over individual characteristics. So you can increase the tank has not one stat, but several at once: accuracy, speed, damage and others.

Thus, having collected the full set of skills presented above, you can improve all the necessary parameters of an average tank: reconnaissance, damage and survival.

Victory on the tank

Advantages and disadvantages

To summarize what was said in the FV4202 review. This premium car, like most paid vehicles, has a huge advantage over conventional tanks:

  • precision gun;
  • high armor penetration;
  • wide view;
  • good margin of safety;
  • communication range is above average.

But even behind such laudatory reviews lies a fly in the ointment:

  • low one-time damage;
  • low speed;
  • weak armor.

As you can see, this tank is nothing special. A typical balanced machine that will require the player certain skills and playing style. If you think that having spent some real money on this technique, you will defeat everyone in a row, then you are deeply mistaken. Is it worth it to purchase this tank if you have a certain level of skill? Definitely yes - and it was shown in the review. The FV4202 (WoT Blitz) is also a high-class vehicle and must be purchased by all lovers of the British tank branch.
