Snap Shot: The CS-52 LIS

on

 So the marathon is going on right now for the CS-52 LIS and this time Wargaming did something very clever....

There are a set of missions quietly going on at the same time that you can only do IN the CS-52 LIS. And the rewards are pretty good (lots of blueprints, crew training manuals, etc). So for those of us who normally play the 10 days of the mission, grind to 50%-ish discount (because I don't have 5 hours a day to play) then buy the tank...we'll miss out because the parallel missions will be gone before we get the tank.

So Skill4LTU convinced me to just buy the tank now, even though I only had 30% discount achieved. Here's how he did it:


My initial thoughts on the CS-52 LIS...
  • The gun is good. Shell velocity is a tiny big sluggish, but accuracy is nice, reload (with BIA and a rammer) is ok, and 320 alpha is pleasant. 208 pen is ok. 7 degrees of gun depression is fine.
  • Mobility isn't bad. I can see why it comes with a turbocharger, but I've chosen not to use the turbo on this one so far. 19.5 P/W and 50 top speed is ok on a medium.
  • 190mm on the front of the turret is workable and I've gotten more bounces than I expected.
  • View range and camo is fine.
Basically...it's a good tank. Quite playable, good crew trainer, I've been earning decent credits.

What are your thoughts? Leave them in the comments below.

GLHF!
