Hello captains and gentlemen. More than half a year has passed since the M series 8 gold coins were first released in the national service. Today, the operator of the national service has taken this car out for public sale, the price of the naked car is 246.25 yuan, and it also hangs a "steel elite" logo. Today, I will talk to you about the performance of the current version of Astron Rex and whether it is worth buying.
Small talk about "Astron Rex"
The Americans tried
Rex I scheme
Astron Rex was originally named ASTRON Rex 105, and it has an original design in history, but WG has done a lot of magic changes. Around 1955, Americans were at home tinkering with "Future Medium", and in the 15 years after the war, a lot of strange designs emerged, and this "Astron Rex" was also one of them. It was the No. 1 scheme of the "X-Weapon" program, originally designed to use a 90 mm smoothbore gun (Chief 30 gun), with an automatic bomb loader, and a very small body. However, these strange projects were not accepted in the end, and the Americans had to keep Patton as the main force and use the M60 until the arrival of the M60.
Overtested period of it
The Astron Rex data in the over-test period is quite strange, 320 single rounds of 105 guns, 4.5 seconds of small reload, 5 consecutive rounds of magazines, 1250 blood, and strange gun control and maneuverability, so that this car is full of strange smell. In the formal costume of astron Rex, it is relatively more normal, not so extreme, and it has improved a little in all aspects.
Now it is
4 seconds small reload, Sheng sheng let the enemy go
Astron Rex's biggest selling point is 5 consecutive rounds of magazines, a shuttle of 1600 damage, this paper killing ability is indeed extremely rare for a level 8 medium tank. But astron Rex pays the price of 4 seconds of small reloading and poor basic accuracy, and 4 seconds of small reloading is sometimes really a missed fighter, if you've played The Future 4 and the Rhino, you'll understand that. And the current version of the clip is not a good thing, but will drag down the output rhythm. This has led to disagreement over Astron Rex's assessment. However, for this 1600 shuttle clip, the astron Rex's large reload is only 30 seconds, which is actually very good. Compared to the T77 with 36 seconds 1080 damage, Astron Rex's vacuum period is not a problem.
It's actually good to take a closer look in a stable situation
Since astron Rex's biggest shortcoming in terms of firepower is the poor basic accuracy, you can consider that after adding bonuses such as red sights, the accuracy can be raised to .34, which is actually almost the basic level of other 8 levels of Zhongtan. After such improvements, if you don't take a closer look, Astron Rex's shells will still have the problem of flying randomly, so you must be patient and careful. And the silver coin of 190 is deep, which is really outdated for the level 8 Zhongtan, from this point of view, astron Rex is very similar to GSOR 1008 and CS-52, all of which are silver coin bullets playing uncomfortable, gold coins are very comfortable cars, so I prefer to use this car as an entertainment car rather than a main money car.
Maneuvering and defense
Large bag 120, face 220
Astron Rex's defense is also a bit odd, belonging to the kind of player who looks invincible, but can occasionally jump twice. The body is very brittle, but the first one is very hard and easy to bounce. The bag on the turret is probably the largest in the game, larger than the T110 series, and very brittle. However, the turret is facing the AP equivalent of more than 220, which is still quite magical. Blood was increased from 1250 to 1300, which is also qualified at level 8. But still don't give any illusions about its survival, just like other American middle tanks.
This guy is not big, after all, it is 31 tons
The Astron Rex also has a small advantage, which is that its volume is relatively small compared to most Class 8 cars. Its own weight is only 31 tons, and the height of the car is not high, but it actually retains a 10° angle, which is rare. However, probably because the bag on the turret is too large, this small size does not give it particularly good base concealment, but it is not the bad point of shoveling Barton, its concealment is slightly worse than the Type 59, the foundation is about 14%.
The speed is only 52
Astron Rex's paper power is average, but WG gives it a very powerful god-level track, which makes it only accelerate slightly slower, but once the speed is pulled up, it maintains very well. However, the extreme speed is only 52, which makes it suffer from long-distance transitions. But the reverse has -30, which makes many light tanks breathtaking, and it is convenient to play and run tactics.
This track speed....
And this guy's basic track speed is about 63 °/s, with a bonus, the body speed of 70 ° + is really scary. That is to say, astron Rex's flexibility is very high, but the speed is low, which requires it to run a little earlier than other Zhongtan.
Overall: Interesting cool car (probably)
Seizing the opportunity to go around the back of a wave is really cool
Personally, I think that in the current version, Astron Rex has the following advantages and disadvantages:
Qualified for maneuverability and excellent flexibility
320 single shot damage is high enough, and a shuttle 1600 kill is extremely strong
The tank is small in size and qualified in concealment
The -10° pitch angle is suitable for the current version of the map design
The hull was fragile, and there were obvious huge weaknesses in the turret
The silver coin was 190 deep
Small reloads are 4 seconds, and it takes 16 seconds to hit all 5 rounds
The artillery has poor accuracy and needs accessories to make up for it
The 3-person car group, and the M series in the Tan are not universal
At European Service, Astron Rex's server WN8 is similar to 07RH and AMBT, and the win rate and average damage per game are also more eye-catching, but all this is based on its one-shuttle 1600 cartridge - even if it passes through a shuttle, it can hit enough health. I personally think that using Astron Rex to play money is a very uncomfortable thing, but if you abandon the idea of "playing money" and play Astron Rex completely as a "cool car" like GSOR 1008, such as matching it with a full gold coin bomb, then Astron Rex is simply reborn, playing like two cars.
And there's an AMBT auction in January
That's the subtlety of WG designing this kind of car – want to make money? Then you have to eat, want to be cool? Then you can't make money. In contrast, the Skoda T56, P46, Scorpion/Scorpion, Type 59, Lion, Super Pershing, Bison, Emile 1951, etc., which stand and earn money, are the conscientious money cars I really recommend. And didn't you shoot AMBT in January? It is actually interchangeable with Astron Rex to a certain extent, and AMBT is more convenient to play money than Astron Rex. 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.
