Hello captains and gentlemen. This week's national service on the shelves of the 3 S series 8 gold coins heavy tank, I have re-evaluated 2 with you, then today will be the last 252 project U-shape to do it. I still like this car quite a bit.
Small talk about "252 Project U-shaped"
-6 The last struggle
IS-6 prototype vehicle with HL-13 tank gun
The 252 Project U can be seen as an upgrade to the IS-6. The IS-6 (Project 252/253) was designed to replace is a future tank design led by Kotin, the father of KV, at the 100th pilot plant in Chelyabinsk in November 1943 to replace the IS-2. At the same time, on the other side of Chelyabinsk, the SKB Design Bureau was also developing project 701 under the leadership of Dukhov, and the K-2 we said earlier was Dukhov's secret design, and the 701 project eventually became IS-4. Project 252 uses traditional mechanical transmission, while Project 253 uses electric transmission (Soviet electric transmission vehicles were also studied very early).
252 project U-shaped design, the arrow head is the biggest feature
However, in the comparative test, the 252 project and the 701 project did not have any advantages, the 253 project because of the reliability of the electric drive problems, and finally in the test in early 1945, the tank just ran 10 kilometers before the overheating and fire, the project was terminated. The two also made a brief comeback in 1947 to test the alternative power scheme for Project 260 before scrapping it. The 252 project "U" type in the game is a protection upgrade plan proposed in November 1944, but there is no exact name, and the name of this "U" is added by WG, which represents the "upgrade type", and the 430 project U type is the same. In other words, the 252 project U-shape in the game exists in the design, but there is no real car, nor is it called this name.
Defender appearance
There are two 252 engineering U-shapes in the game, one is a "light board" that can be changed at will, and the other is a "defender" that is born with a 3D style and cannot be personalized. There is no difference in performance between the two cars. The gun barrel of the "Defender" reads "Враг не пройдёт", meaning "the enemy cannot pass". The national service has only sold the "light board" version through the public channel, but there are still some players in the game for unknown reasons, and some players hold "defenders". The appearance of the "defender" in the national service client has been harmonized, and the Gun Barrel Russian, the Turret Sickle Hammer, and the Hull Guard badge have disappeared. In the old national service period, the 252 project U-shape was once priced at only 158 yuan, and I had many people to buy this car at that time, but there were few responders, and at that time they were all playing the 300 wearing series.
Now 252 project U-shape
This 440 single hair has faded a bit
Compared to the IS-3A and Skoda T56, the 252 Engineering U doesn't have anything fancy like a clip — it's just a tradition. In the old national service period, the level 8 heavy tanri single shot damage of more than 400 is also the Japanese fat house, two mammoths and 252 project U-shaped, with ± 25% floating, the enemy is highly injured by the 252 project U-type hit a shot and by the scorpion hit a shot Is no difference, in the heavy tank line to hit the blood volume advantage can be quite important. But in the current version, not only a group of 440 and 490 guys poured in, but also 360+ high DPM, 360/390+ magazines, 460x2 magazine "villains", their output ability is good and there are -8 to -12 ° angles, the 252 project U-gun is no longer prominent.
The gun control is poor, but one shot can make the enemy stupid
Moreover, since the WG has given the 252 Engineering U-Type 440 a single shot damage, and a good penetration depth, as a "balance", the gun control of the 252 Engineering U-Type has also been affected to a certain extent. However, in actual combat, I personally feel that its gun control is still better than the KRT-1 and IS-5 cars, because there was no expectation in the first place, and I also know what kind of behavior this gun control is, and I can aim carefully with peace of mind. Again, because the 252 Project U-Shape is strong enough to survive and defend, there are more opportunities to stand and take a closer look. 252 project U type also has S series heavy tank old problem, -6 degrees angle is not suitable for the current version, it has to be the same as the IS-3A said yesterday, in addition to going to the town flat, other undulating areas can not go at all.
For example, this 152K underestimates the defense power of 252U
The defense and survivability of the 252 project U-shape is an important reason why I like it very much, in the old national service era I used it to bully those brainless 300 wearing 111/112 - because the defense power of the 252 project U-shape is not the level that an 8-level car should be, the body and turret a lot of large thickness, large angle inclination also let it naturally gram HEAT, swing angle with the head and shoulder to deceive 300 wear is my favorite thing to do at that time hahahahaha. The actual thickness of the 252 engineering U-shaped first arrow armor is 130 mm, with a large inclination of 70 degrees, the equivalent thickness has broken through the sky, and the first armor can be immune to the silver bullets of some of the same class when it is facing, which is more difficult to wear at the swing angle.
The turret hatch and gun shield are weaknesses, strong elsewhere
However, the 252 Project U-shape is not invincible. Its most obvious weakness was the two small hatches on the turret, which were the same as the IS-6. It's only 150 millimeters thick, so it's easier to beat at close range. The gun shield is also a small weakness, but it can only be worn at a depth above 250, but in case the 252 project U-shape player is a veteran, it is still difficult to hit here under the interference of shaking his head. But don't compare it with TD and high-level heavy tanks, it will be easy to flip over the opposite side by cutting out high-wear gold coins.
Mobility, just like that, is normal
With heavy artillery and heavy armor, we can't ask for anything more in terms of mobility. The 252 Project U-Shape is no different from most of the traditional Level 8 heavy tanks, or even worse, but it is still better than the mammoths. The basic field of view is only 350 meters, which is also the consistent low field of view of the S series, and the endgame is quite a loss, stay in the city.
Overall: A veteran who can't do enough
Take a patient look and shoot every shot
Let's summarize the advantages and disadvantages of the current version of the 252 project U-shape:
Single shot damage is higher
The shell penetrated deeply qualified
The tank itself is survivable and defensive
The tank is qualified for maneuverability
4-person car group, high versatility
Poor gun control
-6 pitch angle is no longer suitable for the current version of the environment
The field of vision is low
The ammo rack module has low health
I've loved Engineering U-Shape since I joined the game, but even I rarely drive it out to fight now. The reason is also very simple - in the new era of the 8-level room group magic dance, the traditional heavy tank of the 252 project U-shape is not bad even if its own performance is not bad, but it is also a little difficult to play, and the gameplay is also boring.
252U, like King Sarufar, is old
In 2022, the 252 Engineering U-type three-ring marker injury is similar to that of IS-3A and Bison in the 8-level heavy tank of the 4 direct operating suits, remaining in the top 10 or so, and the average damage per game, winning percentage, and WN8 efficiency are also in the same position. My personal advice is that the current version of the 252 engineering U-type is no longer necessary to buy, to buy a new tank in the future, or a new generation of Skoda T56, Bison and other new generation of cartridge villains. Again, the price of its 252 yuan is really expensive, not as good as buying some new single combat rations, canned beef, compressed biscuits and so on. 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.
