ShPTK-TVP 100
Hello seniors, after almost a year, WG can be regarded as taking out the J series 8 gold coin tank destroyer ShPTK-TVP 100, which is its first public sale in the national service. This car is remembered by many friends because of its unique performance, so now that it is 2023, is it still worth it?
Small talk "ShPTK-TVP"
Ambition
Tank line drawings
ShPTK-TVP is really not out of nowhere, it is essentially a tank destroyer based on the "Tank Všeobecného Použití", that is, the "universal tank" TVP chassis, which is expected to be equipped with 105 and 122 guns. The design idea of this vehicle is "high-speed tank destroyer", which is not the same as "weapon carrier", it pays more attention to high mobility and flexibility. The Czechs whimsically set a power target of 1,000 horsepower, and God knows how to achieve it. The more promising TVPs are all lost, and this unrealistic convertible TD is even more finished. Fortunately, WG still had some sanity, and set 700 horsepower for the car in the game, but this was still a fantasy for the Czech Republic in 1945.
Last year it came out of the pass chapter
ShPTK-TVP was acquired last year as an additional limited-time chapter "After the Night" in Season 7 of the Battle Pass event, allowing players to earn points during the time following the standard Battle Pass rules and progress through the progression system. Complete this additional chapter to earn ShPTK-TVP. That is to say, it is still essentially a marathon, but the form of "liver experience" is replaced by "liver points". Then if this pass opens a premium pass, you can also get the afternight 3D skin, which is quite cost-effective, and this time you have to buy a combination pack. To be honest, I don't understand why WG rarely sells skins alone, probably really won't make money, so I have to throw watermelon for sesame.
Current performance of the tank
The bullet speed is slow, and the long-distance fall is powerful
The performance of ShPTK-TVP in terms of firepower can be said to be somewhat strange. The BS-3 anti-tank gun was supposed to be a fairly powerful gun, but the WG "balanced" it into a guy with 250 damage per shot and a slower bullet speed. However, in addition to the two problems of low single shot and low bullet speed, ShPTK-TVP can be said to be impeccable in terms of firepower. Its cannon silver coin bullet is the AP worn by 270, which is quite domineering existence in the level 8 car, and the HEAT gold coin bullet worn by 330 is even more level 10 - such as bison riding slope selling head is very happy, ShPTK-TVP can directly burst the bull's head, the average player opens this kind of selling head, the face will be immediately recognized after being pierced 1-2 times, which is a kind of "spiritual whip".
The elastic speed is relatively bad to feel, and you need to pull the amount of advance
And the ShPTK-TVP's aiming time, 100-meter accuracy and triple expansion and other data are also very good, and a DPM of 3500+ in a normal configuration is not a problem, which is almost 250 damage per shot in 4.5 seconds. The gun performed quite well in the case of stable and detailed aiming, and even in dynamic combat (half-circle), there was a good target rate (although after more hunting this year, there would still be problems with shells fluttering). But this bounce speed really is.... It is a test of the player's prediction and operation, and it is necessary to pull a considerable amount of advance. For a TD that should focus on medium- and long-range combat, the ShPTK-TVP is a bit at a loss in this regard, and it is even more difficult to hit mobile targets. The -6 degree depression angle of ShPTK-TVP is also very concerning, because the body is high, resulting in this -6 often playing like -5, a little sad, you have to be familiar with the sniper point terrain.
Common HE is not easy to wear it, but it has high wear HE
We are all already familiar with the crispiness of the Scorpion and the Scorpion's "weapon carrier" - their 20mm or so armor can be easily penetrated by the ordinary HE (that is, the HE with a penetration depth of about 40-70 mm) that most of the tanks we use are equipped with, and the breakdown is high damage. Although ShPTK-TVP defense is not good, it has good resistance to these ordinary HE, just most ordinary HE can not penetrate its front and angular side, only high penetration deep HE (more than 100 penetration depth) can be more stable to penetrate ShPTK-TVP. This is also a design of WG very chicken thieves: that is, let ShPTK-TVP not let Scorpio, Scorpion and Scorpion those medium and large caliber HE bully during the TD civil war, on the contrary, ShPTK-TVP can penetrate them with 100 high-penetration HE. However, in actual combat, I have had many times when HE hit crispy cars without any effect, and in order to seek stability, I only hit HE on the most brittle targets.
Maneuverability is good, completely medium and tan level
The maneuverability of the ShPTK-TVP is really quite good. Even if you give it a 700 hp engine, its base-to-weight ratio is as high as 22 hp/ton, which is already the level of mid-flat (or good tier). And the tracks of the ShPTK-TVP are not bad (qualified), and the top speed of 55 is also OK, and these combinations together make the mobility of the ShPTK-TVP not inferior to most of the 8-level mid-tank. Of course, if you want to pursue the ultimate maneuverability, I highly recommend the previous red turbo/purple turbo - if you install an upgraded red turbine, the top speed of ShPTK-TVP will reach 60+, which is convenient for long-distance transitions, and it will be more comfortable to play on the front line.
This guy is not small
Since the chassis is that of a TVP medium tank, and the TVP was originally not small, the size of the ShPTK-TVP is not much smaller. Overall taller and fatter than the hairy scorpion, but slightly smaller than the scorpion. WG's basic concealment for ShPTK-TVP almost follows this rule, and the base concealment of 16.07 is worse than the hairy scorpion, better than the Scorpion, and similar to most level 8 mid-tan. However, in actual combat, I think it is still necessary for ShPTK-TVP to put on a red silence or camouflage network... After all, the crispy bullet speed is slow, the maneuver is good, and it has to go forward.
A silver bullet with 250 damage costs nearly 900 silver coins, which is a little more expensive
I personally believe that the current ShPTK-TVP has the following advantages and disadvantages:
- Excellent maneuverability
- The depth of the 270/330 gun penetration is very good
- Silver coin bullets are worn 270 and do not rely particularly on gold bullets
- DPM is high
- The integrated gun control is relatively excellent
- Unique 100 wear deep HE
- Slightly higher field of view for Class 8 TD (370)
- Good concealment, similar to 59
- Low defense, low survivability, but the standard level of level 8 crispy TD
- For a high-maneuver TD, a depression angle of -6° may not be enough (the body is too high, so that the actual depression angle is discounted)
- The damage per shot is really low for TD, even lower than some mid-tanks, which will cause it to lack deterrence, and it will not be able to catch heads at critical moments
- The shells fly slowly, sniping at distant targets with difficulty
From the point of view of tank performance, I personally think that the ShPTK-TVP is definitely an excellent good car. It has maneuvers and turrets that are rare for TD, and the high penetration depth + high rate of fire of 270/330 make it quite high in effective DPM. The problem with this car is the speed of the bullet and the damage per shot, both of which will definitely affect the actual combat experience of driving the ShPTK-TVP to a greater or lesser extent, regardless of your operating skills.
Fight the enemy Zhongtan whenever necessary
Considering the ecology of the current version of the 8-level room, in fact, the experience of ShPTK-TVP is not very comfortable. Playing this car requires a lot of brain power to calculate and predict, not only to calculate the enemy, but also to calculate your own position and advance. Coupled with the mass production of strong cars such as Tempest, 176 and Skoda, its small tube rapid-fire black gun TD is indeed tired to play, and there is often a fierce operation, settlement damage of two thousand five, which makes people feel "not cost-effective". However, the addition of ShPTK-TVP has brought a new wind to the Tier 8 Gold TD team, and it is quite good, depending on whether you can accept its combat style, it is a good car to accept.
