Hello Commanders, we often see the Y Heavy Charlemagne on various Tier VIII lists, and it tends to get a high ranking. This tank was once used as a qualifying bond to exchange for tanks, selling for up to 15,000 bonds, and initially dissuaded many commanders due to the poor speed of the shells. At present, Charlemagne is very strong in the game, and it is also very fun, so what is Charlemagne's strength? Let's find out!
Tank features
- 440 alpha damage, high shell penetration, but low DPM.
● Large depression angle of -10°, excellent moving circle expansion coefficient.
● The flight speed of the shell is slow, and the accuracy of 100 meters is poor.
● Decent maneuverability, but slightly lower forward speed.
● Armor protection is excellent, but there are still weaknesses.
High alpha damage, but low DPM: Charlemagne is a tank that favors a slow-paced card point selling head. Although the DPM is low, the 440 HP damage per shot is more than enough to make up for it. You need to master the output rhythm, retract a shot, wait for the reload, and then poke out to shoot the next shot. Charlemagne's output rhythm is very slow, and when encountering a combat output of a quick attack stream, the combat output ability will be stuck by the low DPM and the upper limit.
The accuracy is poor, the moving circle is small, and the actual shooting performance is very good: Charlemagne's 100-meter accuracy and aiming time attributes are not good, but thanks to its super excellent triple expansion coefficient, the aiming circle expansion range is very small in the process of moving! It is a little similar to the 703 Project II type, you can try the tactics of short telescopic contraction, and the shooting performance in actual combat is very good.
Slow flight speed of artillery shells: Charlemagne's standard artillery shell AP has a flight speed of only 597 m/s, and even the flight speed of special artillery shell AP is only 924 m/s, which means that Charlemagne should avoid fighting at medium and long distances, and aim at the enemy when firing, so as to avoid the problem that the artillery shell cannot accurately hit the target due to its slow flight speed.
Maneuver that can't be spilled with black tea: Charlemagne's track adaptability and unit power are above the average level of the 8th Heavy Tank, but due to the Y series tank's tradition: low forward speed, Charlemagne's maneuverability performance in actual combat is not much different from that of the Super Conqueror. However, in a small area of transition, Charlemagne can reach his destination quickly and can support his teammates in time.
Even if the ground is facing the enemy, it may be able to withstand some shells with low penetration depths!
Arrow Cluster Armor is still hard: Charlemagne's head is 130 mm thick arrow cluster armor, and the angle is very large, with a minimum equivalent armor value of 210 mm when facing the enemy. Not to mention that when selling the head, the upper armor will hardly leak out, and even if it is exposed, it will most likely be forced to ricochet due to excessive angles.
The turret armor is not too hard, but it is a small victory: Charlemagne's turret is not too hard, and the sides of the frontal gun shield and the commander's tower are weak points. But its turret projection area is really small.
In the state of selling heads, Charlemagne often only leaks a turret, and the combat mode is often "fast and short telescopic", and it is difficult for the enemy to complete the set of operations of "aiming at weak points-shrinking circles-shooting" in a very short time.
Summary of gameplay
Charlemagne's gameplay is very simple: short telescopic selling head output, its depression angle is very good, the turret is not easy to hit, and the gun control performance is not bad, short telescopic selling head hitting output position is the best strategy!
Avoid fighting at medium and long distances, as shells that fly slowly may not hit people. Charlemagne has 440 damage per shot, which is not a loss compared to most heavy tank reshoots. However, it is important to remember that Charlemagne has a low DPM, avoid standing on the stump, and be careful not to be forced to eat alone.
Charlemagne has a silver coin income bonus, playing standard cannonball AP, although the cannonball flies slowly, but it can really hit money, and the income is not low. If you want to improve the game experience, the special shell AP flies fast, and the shooting output feels even better!
Charlemagne's triple expansion coefficient is very good, vertical stability is not necessarily its necessary accessories, Xiaobian's personal best recommendation is turbine + bomb loser + improved durability. This makes up for the shortcomings of DPM, the turbo can reach the combat area faster, and carrying the improved durability can increase its HP to about 1700 points!
With high single-shot damage, excellent protection, and a strong ability to push and jam points, Charlemagne also has a bonus to the income of silver coins, which can be used as your main tank to earn silver coins. At present, there is no way to obtain this tank, so if you already own this tank, why don't you try this powerful tank soon? Commanders who don't already own this tank should not be discouraged, Charlemagne will continue to be open to others in the future!
