Hello captains and gentlemen. This week, the national service once again hit the shelves of the J series 8 gold coin heavy Tank Skoda T56, which is almost the third time that the car is openly available in the national service. When it was first sold last summer, the operator spent a lot of effort to promote the car, and even said the slogan "I am the first in eight golds". At that time, after more than half a year, I will take a look at it with you today, this guy is not worth it in the current version, and it is not suitable for you to start.
Small talk "Skoda T56"
Arbitrary
The T-55AM, turret and head were all equipped with additional armor
The Skoda T56 is obviously a bad taste product of WG, and the designers of WG have fused Soviet tank elements and Western tank elements together, and this guy is here. As an 8-level gold coin car, the Skoda T56 is very consistent with the appearance style of the J series 9th and 10th level heavy tanks, and the 8th level silver coin car TNH 1000 is completely a joker. The T-55AM and T-62M1 may have never dreamed that they suddenly had three more "sons" in the wot. Perhaps WG felt that the modification of the two of them to add additional armor in the turret position was very Cold War flavor and very in line with the game positioning, so he played a good role, and made the T-55AM and T-62M1 "happy daddy" with a big stroke.
Version 1.16 fixed its gunfire
In the overtesting stage of the Skoda T56 has received attention from all sides, the data of the first version of it is too outrageous, so that at one time many people suspected that it was fake. Unfortunately, after many repeated "balancing", it still joined the game with high profile and high intensity, before its gun sound was still 122 guns, and in the 1.16 version it was corrected to 130 guns.
Class 8, 130 cartridge guns
The selling point of the Czech heavy tank in the game is the 2-shot cartridge gun, and the 130 gun of the Skoda T56 also retains this feature:
Single shot damage 460, 2 bursts of cartridge guns, small reload for 3.5 seconds
Silver bullet AP penetrates 208 depth, gold bullet AP penetrates depth 248, and the speed of the bullet is 1020 m/s
-8° pitch angle
In a ventilated, gun-controlled and stable configuration, the large load is 22 seconds, the retraction time is 2.27 seconds, the accuracy of 100 meters is .36, and the DPM2213 is 2213
Please tell me, the above data is not outrageous? Is this TM level 8? WG wants this effect, it is to make a car that is very out of line in data. However, there are still some problems with actually playing.
3.5 small reload, very few people stand waiting for you to finish firing two shots
The first point is a small reload of 3.5 seconds, and the "output rhythm" is very important for the magazine car, depending on the number of shells in the magazine, the small reload and the large reload time. Previously, the level 8 gold coin cartridge heavy tank small reload was generally 2-3 seconds, so everyone could only occasionally shoot one shot - because when the heavy tank line was facing the line, there were many bunkers, and the enemy usually did not eat a shot and stood there waiting for you to hit the second shot. 2-3 seconds this gear is still like this, 3.5 seconds of Skoda T56 is often unable to play the second shot, and then the hand to pinch 1 shot is not to fight or not, reload or not to reload has become a problem.
Melee combat can suppress the pitch angle and increase the penetration depth in disguise
The second point is to wear deep. Now is an era of selling heads, and the heavy tan line is also very inward-coiled, in the case of selling heads to each other:
Whoever wears the deeper the higher will have a higher breakdown rate
Whoever controls it well will have more opportunities to fight weaknesses
Whoever leans in well will have more opportunities to fire
For the majority of players, artillery penetration is always always the first, not everyone can shell the weakness, piercing depth is a very, very hard indicator, I said this problem in the previous issue of KRV. Skoda T56 this 208/248 AP penetration depth, plus the positive conversion to APCR is almost 217/260 penetration depth, in actual combat is indeed not as good as lion, Soma SM and other silver coin bullet AP and 230 + deep car, which is an operating threshold.
Additional armor unencovered position, on 220
There is an external floating position in the upper part of the side of the car, do not hit
The overall defense configuration of the Skoda T56 refers to VZ.55, and the shape design is basically the same. The front of the turret is wrapped with 2 additional armor, but the observation opening on the side of the gun shield is not covered, and the AP equivalent here is 220 mm. The size of the commander's command tower is not small, where the equivalent is 175. In addition, the front of the turret is still very reliable. The body is relatively poor. When the first and lower ap are facing each other, the equivalent is about 180, and the pendulum angle is also like 210. The upper part of the side of the car has a "floating" structure similar to that of a warship, which makes it mandatory to jump here when selling the side, so don't fight. Other places, such as guide wheels and other positions, are casually played.
Without changing mobility, it is like the traditional heavy tank
We all know how happy the 10-level VZ.55 is, but the Skoda T56 can't do it, which is an important reason why it can't be called a "little VZ.55". The maneuverability of the Skoda T56 is similar to that of the Lion and IS-6 as a whole, and there is no gap at all. The speed of 35 makes it unable to turn, the assault cannot be suddenly up, and the steering is relatively sluggish. But this thing can be slightly improved, and can be improved by battlefield modification + accessories:
Change the second slot to a maneuver slot and then go up to the turbine
The second slot can be changed to a maneuverable slot and then on the turbine, which can make the Škoda T56 slightly more maneuverable, but its maneuverability is still unable to undertake the task of assaulting the E-75 TS and FCM 50T. Of course, you can also choose the fire slot to improve its accuracy/shrinking circle, but battlefield modification requires a certain amount of experience. For the majority of players, the more universal accessories are ventilation/blood, stability, rotation/gun control/sight/highlighter, which is the most traditional level 8 heavy tank accessory.
Summary and recommendations
Don't be so stupid to expose your bag
Now let's summarize the advantages and disadvantages of the Skoda T56:
High single-shot damage, large-caliber main gun, 2-shot cartridge gun
For this kind of large-caliber magazine gun, comprehensive gun control is relatively OK
The bulk loading time is relatively fast, and the DPM is not bad
- 8 degrees of pitching angle, the turret frontal defense is good, the overall survivability is qualified
For the traditional heavy tank, the silver bullet 208 has a slightly lower penetration depth, and the gold coin bullet is also slightly lower
A small reload time of 3.5 seconds needs to be adapted
Maneuverability is fairly average (but can be improved with modifications)
As you can see, the Skoda T56 is indeed a good car, but it also has some problems. And its shortcomings in terms of penetration, small loading and maneuverability are the shackles that WG put on it, because if it is not so "balanced", the Skoda T56 is really going crazy. And unlike the Storm and P46, which are more expert cars, the Skoda T56 is a heavy tank, and a player can drive it to the heavy tank line a few times, which makes its lower limit very high. Taking The Big Data of European Service as an example, the average damage per game and the three-ring standard injury of the Skoda T56 rank second in all 8 levels of heavy tanks, second only to Charlemagne.
But don't forget, the future may be the world of 9 gold
Finally, there is the purchase aspect. Skoda T56 naked car priced at 271 yuan, in fact, it is quite expensive, if you are a person who pursues performance, you like to play with new cars, strong cars, then this guy can buy. If you just want a gold coin that is comfortable to play, then the Skoda T56 can actually make one. But I need to remind you that from 2022 onwards, maybe the future will be the world of level 9 gold tanks, so do you still have to pay for 8 gold now? It's all up to you. Of course, the car reviews themselves are very subjective, and I can only try to evaluate these tanks as much as possible that suits the skills and tastes of the majority of players. I am Anabel, Caddo, always thinking about the vital interests of our players. If you like my car reviews, please also forward and share the promotion to let more captains go home.
