SnapShot: Russian Meds

Took my Tier IX/X Russian Mediums out this morning and gosh...I'd almost forgotten how good those are.

The Object 140 in World of Tanks

The only one of the set I don't really like is the Obj 430 II. The odd little rear-turretted pancake tank that can only turn the gun 90 degrees to each side.

I played my first battle in its successor, the K-91, though and gosh. Mobility is very good and that gun is...amazing. SEVENTEEN HUNDRED shell velocity on the standard shells. It's like shooting lazers. Might be the best gun in the game. Really fantastic.

The Object 140 and 430U are well-known. They're top-end tanks and a lot of fun to play. 430U is more of a brawler with 300mm of front turret armor and 440 alpha. The 140 is more of the classic flanky medium with good mobility and only 320 alpha (but faster reload).

My T-62A actually has better DPM than either of them, even with a worse crew. It compares fairly well (statistically) to the Obj 140 even though the 140 is more renowned and somehow FEELS a little better to play.

The T-54 and Object 430 are both nice at Tier IX - and I accidentally marked my T-54 this morning after what I thought was a good-not-great battle on Kharkov.

Still chasing MT-15 which requires me to do a seemingly-achievable 2500 damage to TDs. Unfortuantely this morning I only got 1 battle where the enemy had more than 3 TDs, which makes it difficult.

Maybe tomorrow.

GLHF!
