My first premium tank, from replacement/moved from T9 heavy lane tank. And served me well back then.. "back then". At this point, quite obselete. Majority of tanks already reached 225-230 pen anyway so this having like 10-15 bonus pen, in return, loosing in every other aspect greatly makes no sense. So called strong turret armor can be penned by most anything it will met from roof and high pen tanks like ScoG to anything T9+10 can easly pen gun mantlet, or even autopen with pressing 2. Need major rebalance asap, tho i'm sure, will not happen for another 5year, considering WG require 5year to start fixing anything.
I just don't want to call it garbage for sake of times i "used to" spend on it, but in really, it is, sadly.
