So how hardcore is it
Hello fellow commanders, I'm Anabel and Cardo. After an interval of nearly half a year, this week, the national service once again launched the Italian level 8 gold coin heavy tank C45 "Bison", with a naked car priced at 262.5 yuan. It's been a long time since I last evaluated it, and today I'm still following the old rules to talk to you about the current version of the bison.
Small talk "C45 Bison"
Italian artillery
Project C45 mod 71
Initially, the "Bison" was not called "Bison", and during the supertest phase it was still called Progetto C45 mod 71. Because its design was too advanced and did not have the design characteristics of contemporaneous Italian tanks and other national tanks, I also gave up on researching it. However, COYOTE COYOTE, WHO LIKES SMALL TANKS, SAID THAT HE FOUND CLUES ABOUT THESE ITALIAN HIGH-END TANKS ON THE DIRECT SALES SERVICE FORUM - THEY MAY HAVE ORIGINATED FROM THE MAGAZINE "RIVISTA MILITARE" OF THE ITALIAN MILITARY OFFICE, WHICH PUBLISHED MANY WHIMSICAL IDEAS OF GRASSROOTS OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS. The WG tank group claimed that the "Bison" was a design proposed by an Italian colonel named Mario Zini when discussing future tanks after Italy received American tanks after World War II.
"Aurora" 3D skin
However, as with many of the strange tanks made by the WG tank crew, it is clear that they have added a lot of magic to the Bison to make it become what the WG tank designers wanted it to be, so this matter cannot be examined in detail. Like Storm and Apostate, WG changed the awkward name of Progetto C45 mod 71 to C45 "Bison" and put it on sale in the official server, whether it is C45 Bison or Bison C45 It doesn't matter, because it wasn't originally this name. The Bison had a minor change in 1.12, in 1.11 it was very strange that it could not hold down the cannon when facing the rear of the car, and in 1.12 it had a -6° depression angle towards the rear of the car. WG has sold many times since the Bison was added to the game, and this is the second time this year.
Now it's it
This T56 is the negative textbook
Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with the buffalo's firepower, although it doesn't have particularly outstanding gun control, penetration and DPM, but with the Italian heavy tank's reloading mechanism (fire when the shell is not yet reloaded, as the waiting time increases, the next shell will reduce the reload time a little bit), and other data that can be done: good -10° depression angle, 105 guns with 360 damage per shot, 218 / 270 armor-piercing shells with deep penetration, silver coin shells are qualified, gold coin shells are deep enough, silver coin AP has a bullet velocity of 1155, Special for 105 wear high wear HE (although there are not many places that can be used), 3 seconds of small reloading, 3 bursts of pre-loaded magazines, a shuttle of 1080 blood, and so on. The Bison is really quite suitable for the current version of the single-field heavy tank combat environment.
At medium and close ranges, the Bison's artillery control is still okay
The Bison's lack of cannon control and reloading is a limitation of WG's strength. Due to the poor basic accuracy, aiming time and triple expansion coefficient, the Bison's gun control performance is quite average even if it is in the top/high configuration of the "big red and purple". In the top conditions, the Bison's DPM is in the early 2000s, and even if a single shot is fully charged, it will take 10.3 seconds to load, and the last shot with empty ammunition will also take 14.6 seconds. Therefore, playing the Bison requires patience (but not to the point of the Rhino), and the most suitable combat scenario for it is to shoot one shot at a time, and if it is a scenario that requires a surprise attack or a large number of DPM hard changes (such as encountering a renegade on flat ground), the Bison is more at a loss.
Defense isn't that good, but it's not that bad either
The bison's defense is of the kind of "able to resist but not resist". 1400 blood first suffers a loss, and then the front of its turret is not so reliable, and some level 8 heavy tanks can "explode the bull's head" directly on the gold coin bullet, not to mention those high-level tanks: the equivalent of 220 is not attached to the armor package under the barrel, and the head of the hull is 200, and the first and lower are only more than 100, and the side of the hull is only 75. Moreover, the roof and side rear of the bison are relatively weak, and it is easy to get high injuries when blown up by artillery. Therefore, it is a very disadvantageous thing to drive the bison to blindly stand and wear high and deep level 8 heavy tanks/high-level cars to shoot and sell heads/sell sides, and the defense of the bison is more based on the details of the player's constant shaking.
It can be seen in what position the bison's maneuver is in
The Bison's maneuverability performance is actually very interesting, although its power-to-weight ratio is not high, the speed of the body is not fast, and the track drag coefficient is not good, but the WG just sets a top speed of 50 (56TP tears down). This allows it to reach a good speed after a certain period of acceleration, and there are still a lot of benefits for long-distance transition runs, if you install turbines and track teeth, it will be better, but it will lose reinforcement in terms of firepower, I think it is a loss. The vision of the base 380 is also okay, not good or bad. In general, I personally feel that although there are more cars such as Skoda T56 and BZ-176 now, the experience of the Bison at level 8 is still okay, but it must be "reluctant" to fight, this car is very difficult to play, and it is easy to send it once it is a wave.
The 3D style is pretty good
In several direct sales servers, the Bison's big data performance is not bad, basically averaging around 1400 per game, with a win rate of about 52%, and it can rank in the top ten in all level 8 heavy tanks. Personally, I think that if you don't want to practice Italian heavy tanks at all, and you lack a main money car, then this bison can still be won. It's just that I think it's become an old level 8 gold coin car now, so in fact, sell it at a 7% discount, and everyone will definitely be very willing to pay for it, which will definitely win the favor of players, maybe the WG tank group should learn the truth of "small profits but quick turnover". If you don't have any ideas about the Italian heavy tank, and there is no shortage of main money cars, then it is better to save up your money and wait for the new level 9 gold coin car, or the BZ-176 and Storm car.
