Dress up as a pig and eat a tiger
Hello captains and gentlemen. Recently, there is no news, ah, then we still go back to the car review. Today I would like to talk to you about a level 6 heavy tank dressed as a pig eating a tiger, which is the T-150.
Small talk about the "T-150"
Soviet mobile fortress
T-150 side blueprint
In the summer of 1940, after the KV-1 entered mass production, the Soviets came up with the idea of strengthening its armor protection. Decision No. 1288-495ss, adopted on June 17, 1940, allowed the Kirov plant to build a number of more protective and firepower tanks on the basis of the KV-1, of which the tanks with 90 mm armor were designated by the Kirov plant as the T-150, also known as the KV-150 or 150 Project. The T-150 differs from the KV-1 in that it is thicker armor, with three observation devices in the commander's command tower, an improved transmission, and a 700-horsepower V-2 engine. Because of these, the weight of the T-150 was also increased to 50 tons.

However, with a series of delays in the first half of 1941, the T-150 was ultimately unable to enter mass production, and the Great Patriotic War broke out in June, making it even less likely that the new tank would be put into mass production in this chaotic and panicked situation. On 11 October 1941, the only T-150 was assigned to the 123rd Tank Brigade. According to archival data from the Central Armoury of the Russian Federation, on May 18, 1943 the T-150 was delisted from the 31st Independent Tank Regiment of the Guards, showing "war damage". However, in July 1943, the tank appeared in another group record of the regiment and disappeared. For the lowly educated grassroots Red Army tank soldiers at the time, the T-150 may have been a somewhat strange KV-1.
The T-150, which just joined the game in 2012
The T-150 was only added to the game in May 2012 at version 0.7.3, when WG decided to re-route the S-Series, throwing the original Level 6 KV-3 to Level 7 and replacing it in place by the T-150. At that time, the S series had 3 6-level silver coin heavy tanks, namely KV-1S, KV-2 and T-150, at that time, its doormen were really each magical, each of them was good, each one can be called a level 6 small bully, but now the times have changed, KV-1S cut the mother does not recognize, KV-2 can only play AP after HE cut, only T-150 and 244 project together to support the current level 6 S series heavy tank sky.
Now it is
The T-150 can use 3 "full body guns"
In the game, the T-150 can use 5 cannons, but in fact, it can be counted as a cannon, only 3 cannons. They are:
The KV-1 can be used on the 57 rapid-fire needle
S series heirloom short 122 small troll u-11
S Series Heirloom Class 107 Gun ZiS-6
However, in my opinion, it is obviously a shameful thing for the level 6 heavy tank to use this 57 god needle, and the enemy is not stupid, will not stand with you to shoot at the pile, in the case of a certain shooting opportunity, the low damage of a single shot is really uncomfortable. After the U-11 was weakened by HE, the entertainment was not so strong, and the HEAT was only wearing 140 depths, so it was not dry eyes when encountering the 8-level car.
Gun control is really not possible, only close combat
This 107 gun is arguably the only suitable option for the T-150, and for the Level 6 Heavy Tank, although it is not as good as the old D-25T "Wedge Latch" before it, it is really nothing to be picky about. It has its own -7 ° pitch angle, 107 guns 300 single shot is not good, the normal configuration of 2000 or so DPM can also be, almost 8 seconds more than a shot. The 167/219 piercing depth hit opponents of the same level are basically enough, the 167 silver coin bullet is not very good to hit the 120 tons type I, and the 219 APCR can even hit the 8th class car. However, the biggest problem with the T-150's firepower is that this gun control is really too bad, and I didn't have a high evaluation of the T-150 before, and I found out that the point of close-quarters hand-to-hand combat in the previous version of The Heavy Tan was not so bad.
The protection is like that, mainly relying on the side deception
The T-150 is a protective upgrade of the KV-1, and although the frontal improvement is not so large, the T-150's defense and survivability can still be called a bright spot. The base 990 hptol can be stacked to 1130 with a blood-boosting accessory. The turret and the front of the hull are still not defensive, the turret is all supported by that cheek, the body swing angle is actually OK, mainly relying on the large angle to sell the side of the "deception cannon", more twist with a wide track to deceive the gun is also good. If the enemy is very good at playing, and always greets the head and the head and the head, then the T-150 still can't hold up. However, in fact, in the level 6 heavy tank team, in addition to the 120 tons of type I a strange thing, the gap between the other heavy tank defense power is not particularly large, mainly depending on the operation level.
Mobility is also like that, normal heavy tank level
The maneuverability of the T-150 has improved somewhat compared to the KV-1, but it is still not far from other 6-level heavy tanks, which is the level of mobility of a normal heavy tank. Its 330-meter field of view is very stable, and together with the KV-2, it is the bottom level of the 6-level heavy tank. The maneuvering is general, the field of vision is bad, which is doomed to T-150 is a heavy tank suitable for hand-to-hand combat, but in fact, this way of fighting is still the most suitable for the current version of the map design and mass players, because there is no fancy, just fight when you see people.
Want to shoot at distance? It's not impossible
The premise is that you have to wait for a long and incredibly narrow circle
Personally, I think that the performance of the implemented version of the T-150 is not particularly excellent (because the old Level 6 KV-3 impressed me too much), it is stronger than the other Level 6 Heavy Tank, it is more accessible, that is, a lower barrier to entry, and suitable for the general public players to fight. Because of this, the T-150 is the medium level of the 6-level heavy tank in the server big data of the European service, and even compared with the KV-85 and KV-2, there is still a little gap, but in fact, it can be regarded as the same level. When you practice this car, you can play more, and this IS-4 line is also the muscle heavy tank line that I recommend most in the current version, and the new and old players are salty. 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.
