▲Astro Rex 105mm back on the battlefield!
Hello World of Tanks players, the M-series tanks in the game have always had the title of "moderate", they usually do not have any outstanding advantages in firepower, protection and mobility, but they have no obvious shortcomings, and are very suitable for commanders with a stable combat style. Just this week, an M-Series VIII Gold Coin Medium Tank Astram Rex 105mm went on sale, it is not a moderate tank with a stable and stable Mean, but an M-series cowboy with a "revolver", and this article analyzes its performance for all commanders.
Powerful firepower
▲Astro Rex The main gun of the 105mm has a special appearance
The Astro Rex 105mm car, as its name suggests, uses an unusual 105mm tank gun with a long barrel and a large muzzle brake. The gun's armor-piercing shells had an average damage of 320 points per shot, while most medium tanks in its class still used "small water pipes" with 230-250 single damage. However, its standard ammunition penetration depth is only 190 mm, which is obviously a bit low, because many medium tanks in the same level VIII have a penetration depth of more than 200 mm. Although the enemies that the Astro Rex 105mm will encounter are usually medium tanks, it is better to switch to special ammunition with a depth of 250mm when encountering some heavily armored targets.
▲ Sneak attack the enemy's flank and rear as much as possible
The Astro Rex 105mm has a magazine loading system with a magazine capacity of up to 5 rounds, which means that each magazine can deal 1600 damage, which is enough to destroy a tank of the same class with full blood, even a high-level tank can hardly withstand the Astram Rex 105mm hit. However, the small reload time of the gun took 4 seconds, and the long reload also took more than 30 seconds, which required the Astro Rex 105mm to look for as many opportunities as possible to sneak up on the enemy's flank. The tank gun has a main gun accuracy of 0.41, which makes it more suitable for close-range fire. As an M-series tank, the Astro Rex 105mm also has an excellent 10° gun depression angle, which makes it easy to fight enemies at many points. Astro Rex The 105mm firepower performance is interesting, and players must patiently wait for the opportunity to "pick up" the dropped enemies with their own bursts.
Qualified survivability
▲ The frontal defense of the turret is qualified, but it has weaknesses
Astro Rex 105mm has 1300 health points, which is not high in a Tier VIII medium tank, but it is not bad, after all, there is also a Tier VIII medium tank with 1200 health points. Astro Rex The 105mm turret has a very special shape, not very similar to any M series tank in the game, but the better shape makes it have good defense. The equivalent thickness of the front of the turret is about 200 mm, and the matching angle can bounce off many shells. However, the top of the Astro Rex 105mm turret still has the common M conning tower weakness, and the front of the turret will also be pierced in the face of special ammunition with higher penetration, which requires more attention in battle.
▲The frontal defense of the car body is good
Astro Rex The 105mm body is relatively inferior in defense, but it also performs well. The tank did not use the ship-shaped cast hull of the later M series tank, but adopted an upper and lower integral welded nose with a better bulletproof shape. Astro Rex The 105mm hull top/bottom defense is comparable to that of the Type 59, but the defense on the side of the tank hull is not good, and it is very not recommended that the tank swing angle to face the enemy. In battle, the Astro Rex 105mm should still actively use the depression angle and find cover to cover the vehicle battle.
Mobility and visibility
▲The body of the tank rotates extremely fast
Astro Rex The 105mm engine actually has 450 hp and weighs only 31 tonnes, giving it a unit power of 14.52 hp/t. Although the unit power is not high, the tank's forward speed is also 52 km/h, and the reverse speed is as high as 30 km/h, while the Astro Rex 105mm track resistance is quite good, and the tank's hull rotation speed is unusually fast, which makes its maneuverability not inferior to tanks of the same class. However, the Astro Rex 105mm concealment value is not too good, and the base 14.19% concealment value makes it better to find more grass to hide in than other medium tanks, but the 390-meter base vision is qualified.

The Astro Rex 105mm has the following advantages and disadvantages:

- Outstanding tank mobility

▲M series assassin
The distinctive Astram Rex 105mm is the only traditional magazine gun tank in the M-Series VIII class (the other is the Silver Coin T69, while the AMBT is an autoloader). On the one hand, its 105mm gun is comparable to a heavy tank gun in terms of damage per shot and other data, but the 4-second "small load" process to make it "burst" also takes 16 seconds, and the accuracy of the gun is no different from that of heavy tank, which makes driving the Astro Rex 105mm quite interesting. Combined with mobility and tough heads-up ability, the Astro Rex 105mm that infiltrates behind the enemy's main forces to wreak havoc can be quite difficult.
