Every self-respecting player in World of Tanks has a goal in mind. Without this, any entertainment becomes inexpressive and boring. Therefore, whether you are a pro-player or just a beginner, you must be aware of exactly what you are moving to and which car you would like to ride at high levels. Today we look at and compare the T57 Heavy and Amx50B tanks.
Modules
The most basic thing a tank commander should know is what equipment is installed on his machine. There are many options and spare parts that can be used on each specific model, however, only certain modules will be most effective and efficient. So, we present you the T57 Heavy guide.
- Tower. The T169 model will fit well in this place. It has an overview of up to 400 meters and a relatively high turning speed for a heavy tank. Its only minus is the armor. Fifty millimeters from the rear is prohibitively small, as it makes the machine vulnerable to medium and some light tanks.
- The T179 brand 120 mm gun has high penetration for all types of shells. We can say that in a duel of two T57 Heavy they can inflict damage on each other without any problems.
- The Continental AV-1790-5C engine has a capacity of 810 liters. With. That is very small even for a heavy tank. As a result, its maneuverability and ability to quickly relocate suffers.
- The chassis of the T97, coupled with the engine, does not allow the tank to accelerate to a decent speed.
- And finally, the AN / VRC-3 radio station, which provides communication at a distance of up to 745 meters.
Crew
Continuing our guide to the tank, we got to an equally important component of your car. No wonder they say that the war is won not by weapons, but by people. Properly selected professions and skills will make the T57 Heavy even stronger.
So, the full crew of this tank consists of four people - the commander, gunner, loader and driver. Each of them should learn repair and disguise skills. And also it will not be superfluous to add a “military fraternity”. Consider only that this skill works when all crew members have fully studied it, and does not fit into the “fighting girlfriends” skill.
The remaining two places for each crew member must be taken by the most profitable skills.
- The commander must know the "radio interception" and the "sixth sense." This will allow you to detect the enemy on the way, if you have taken a convenient place for protection.
- The gunner is simply obliged to possess the skills of "smooth turn of the tower" and "sniper". They will increase your chances of hitting the enemy and his modules.
- The driver is responsible for the movement of the car. Due to the low maneuverability and engine power, the “off-road king” talent will come in handy, and “smooth running” to facilitate shooting when moving.
- The loader has no particular choice. “Contactless ammunition” will reduce the likelihood of ammunition undermining, and “desperate” will increase the reload speed when strength drops to a critical level.
Probably our review of tanks in World of tanks has already paid off, and you have gathered a lot of useful information. But that's not all. Further we will consider the equipment that should be taken with you to battle.
Equipment
In addition to basic spare parts and human resources, you can strengthen your car in other ways. For example, acquiring consumables before the battle. What to put on the T57 Heavy? Equipment must be selected carefully, with an eye to future tactics.
- In any case, you will need a "vertical stabilizer" and "enhanced aiming drives". Both of these items will provide greater accuracy when shooting from a stationary position.
- In third place, either “improved ventilation” to increase the crew’s efficiency, or “enlightened optics” to increase the radius of view. Decide for yourself what you need.
- First aid kit and repair kit are required.
- Depending on what you picked up with your third skill, you can choose either a “coke box” to improve your skills or a “manual fire extinguisher” if there is “ventilation”.
- The last item is ammunition. Remember: the vast majority should be armor-piercing. SPGs and light tanks are quietly destroyed with 1-2 shots, and you are not alone in the team. Therefore, the layout 28-8-0 or 20-16-0 is well suited for you.
Match
So, you “bought, shod and dressed” a car, as our guide on the tank tells. If you think that now nobody is an adversary to you, then you are deeply mistaken. Much will depend on your personal skills and the “feeling of battle." But even with 100% mastery, there are some tips for handling this tank.
- You are not an attack aircraft. Riding forward, diverting attention to yourself and taking the first blow is not about you. Despite the fact that you are a heavy tank, low levels of armor will not allow you to face the enemy head-on.
- In the open, you will be a great target. Even without taking into account self-propelled guns, a low rate of on-board armor does not protect against hits in the combat unit.
- Assault from the rear. If you plan to quickly pass through the city and go behind the enemy, in 70% of cases the undertaking will result in failure. The T57 Heavy is too low in maneuverability and speed for this.
But what then to do, the player asks how to play the T57 Heavy? You are a "crouching tiger, a hidden dragon" all rolled into one. No, you are not destined to destiny PT and hide and seek through the bushes. But climb forward is not worth it.
- Launch forward light tanks.
- Heavy tanks with increased armor should let the battle begin.
- Your task is to slowly go around the enemy, go to their side and finish them off.
- A quick-release clip allows you to take out several opponents at a time. But do not go far from the allies. During reloading you will be very vulnerable.
- Do not get involved in close combat. You have high enough accuracy to shoot from an increased distance.
Advantages
Continuing the review of tanks in World of tanks, it's time to draw some general conclusions. Based on them, you can think through your own battle tactics and try to follow it.
- One reload is enough to deal up to 1600 damage.
- The armor is set at an ideal angle, which increases the chance of a rebound.
- Good angle of fire.
- Fast reload time.
- High rates of penetration of armor.
disadvantages
- Low rates of own armor.
- Low speed.
- Small ammunition.
- Ineffective in a solo game.
- It comes down a long time.
- Ammunition often explodes.
Comparison
One of the many issues that excite players reaching level 10 is to choose a vehicle that is worth riding. So it is with our tank. One of the compromises that an experienced tanker is ready to make is the choice of which is better: T57 Heavy or AMX50B.
We will not give a full description of this tank model, but simply provide a brief comparison of this technique.
- The French tank has lower armor indicators both on the turret and on the hull. In addition, it has a lower margin of safety.
- At the same time, this makes it a little lighter, making its maximum speed almost double that.
- As for weapons, the level of penetration of armor and damage are approximately the same. But at the same time, the “Frenchman” loses in rate of fire due to a long reload of the clip.
As a result, we can say that the French AMX tank is more suitable for sudden rear attacks and maneuvers. While the "American" is designed for attacks from afar. What is more suitable for your style of play is up to you to decide.
Summary
T57 Heavy is a real killing machine. High rate of fire and good speed for a heavy tank are well suited for fighting in the city or protecting the chosen terrain. The player who chose this tank as the main one should be prepared for the fate of the match to rest on his shoulders. After all, it was he who, in the late stage of the game, is able to quickly and efficiently remove the “unfinished” enemy from the field.
Unfortunately, this machine is not suitable for single player. You cannot “pull out” a team if it is quickly destroyed. Therefore, for those who want to decide the outcome in the battle alone, it would be better to find another tank for themselves. For those who prefer to play in a team, this “device” will become a real find. After all, a high level of penetration and damage (almost the largest among the tanks of this level) will allow you not only to help the allies who have fired at the shootout, but also to tip the scales in your favor.
