After a hard fight....
Hello captains, here is the tank zero distance. In the past few days, relying on antihypertensive drugs and curing cat cat videos, after arduous qualifying battles, M series 9 special heavy tank "1B concept car" and Y series 8 gold coin heavy tank "Charlemagne the Great" finally arrived. Let's talk about "Charlemagne" today.
Small talk about "Charlemagne"
charlemagne? Charlemagne!
Portrait of Charlemagne by the German painter Dürrer
As early as last December, when I was doing the preview, I said that this car should not be called "Charlemagne", but "Charlemagne". "Charlemagne" is a French word that translates to "Charlemagne" or "Charlemagne", and the "Charlemagne" that is popular in Chinese circles, although it sounds very domineering, is actually wrong, because this "Man" means "great/great". Charlemagne was king of the medieval Frankish kingdoms of Europe, succeeded by Louis I, the famous dwarf Pepin the father. Charlemagne's greatest achievement was the unification of much of Western and Central Europe for the first time, more than 300 years after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. On Christmas Day 800 AD, Charlemagne was crowned "Emperor of the Romans" and "Enlightener of Civilization" by Pope Liang III in the Basilica of St. Peter in Rome, which can be said to be the pinnacle of power. Later monarchs of the Holy Roman Empire, kings of France and German emperors all claimed to have inherited Charlemagne's orthodoxy.
Design line drawing of the Tank Technical College
Charlemagne's car was a medium tank design (yes, it was a middle tank) jointly developed by the British Tank Technical College and the Royal Academy of Military Sciences in 1958, and the design indicators were all benchmarked against the Soviet tanks and anti-tank missiles of the time. Charlemagne's front, including the top of the turret, was also required to resist the Soviet "Dragon" anti-tank missile, if from a pure historical point of view, Charlemagne's defensive power can refer to the Swedish heavy tank in the game, that is, all the armor is stacked on the front, and the side can also defend against heavy machine guns, but the WG is not so designed, but the side is thickened, giving it a "heavy tank" division.
Depleted uranium bombs
The Gold Coin Bullet is a 270-wear AP bullet, nominally a "Depleted Uranium Bomb"
Charlemagne uses a 120-gun known as the "Low-Speed Cannon", but don't underestimate this cannon, which has a single shot damage of up to 440, and the silver and gold bullets are both AP, and have a penetration depth of 220/270. However, the silver bullet has a speed of only 597, which is slower than the E-100's 150 gun, and the gold bullet has a speed of only 924. Usually for artillery, in the case of projectile material, weight, gun caliber, body tube length and propellant, low initial velocity kinetic energy bullets can not bring high penetration depth, but this 120 gun is not only the initial speed low body tube short, how does WG explain that it has a high penetration depth? "It uses depleted uranium bombs!" After all, you designed it, and you are right.
The high-wearing deep AP is really strong enough, and it has 2 consecutive bursts
From the perspective of game performance, Charlemagne's high-wearing AP is really good. But the good thing is that it can't let a car take over, let alone a British car. So WG gave Charlemagne this gun the accuracy of 100 meters, the shrinking time and the loading speed are relatively poor, the basic DPM is less than 1700, and my own high-Duty Charlemagne DPM is only 2100, equivalent to more than 12 seconds to shoot a shot. Coupled with the "trebuchet" trajectory, don't think about hitting the enemy at a long distance, and sell your head at close range. Fortunately, Charlemagne has a -10 ° pitch angle, plus the high penetration depth AP is very powerful, not only has a 5 ° turn positive and does not eat the module to absorb, in the close distance to sell each other's heads directly exploded the head of the same level of heavy tank is a very pleasant and full of deterrent things.
Protection, maneuvering and others
The head is reliable, but not entirely reliable
Charlemagne's defense is a bit Schrödinger, and although its turret shape is well designed, the circle around the gun shield is equivalent to 200 AP, which can be pierced by the silver coins of the level 8 heavy tank. The command tower on the turret is also a classic weakness, so be sure to shake it when selling. Charlemagne's body is more general, that is, 180-190, the first is very interesting - the base thickness is 168, but Charlemagne's car is very short, and the head is usually forced to jump. As for its side, it's actually a bit poor.
Charlemagne was very small, about the size of a 59
Charlemagne has a very prominent feature, historically its original design was a medium tank, so its size is very small, a circle smaller than the centurion, and similar to the Type 59. That is to say, Charlemagne's volume is relatively small, almost the smallest grade in the 8th level of Tan-Heavy Tanri. In actual combat, Charlemagne is more difficult to hit, and it is easy to hide his body, rather than "ignoring his stomach" like the FCM 50t's failed baguette design.
Charlemagne's maneuver feels as if I'm playing old 4202
Charlemagne's maneuverability is interesting, its power-to-weight ratio is nearly 17 horsepower/ton, which is quite good in the heavy tank, but WG has stuck its speed at 35 in order to limit its assault charge capability. This made me feel like I was driving the FV4202 at the old 10th level when I drove Charlemagne – the acceleration was very good, the steering was silky, but it couldn't run fast. For a head-to-head hand-to-hand fighter, this is actually not a problem, after all, there are too few monsters like Emile 1951 and Skoda T56.
Overall: You can change it after changing the 1B concept car
Its gun control is indeed a problem
Now let's summarize Charlemagne's performance:
The 120 guns have 440 damage per shot, and the amount of ammunition is also large
The silver coin bullet is deep enough, and the gold coin bullet is a high penetration depth AP
Excellent pitch angle, with the shape of the turret, is very suitable for selling head play
The standard Y series heavy tank 4-man car group, the versatility is good
The Silver Coin Bullet has a bounce speed of 597 m/s, forcing the player to fight melee or use gold to bounce
The filling time is longer, the DPM is relatively low, and the fault tolerance rate is lower
The gun accuracy, triple expansion and retraction time are combined, and the gun control is a bit poor
The speed is too low, and the long-distance transition suffers
Personally, I think that the first priority of these 4 cars that can be exchanged for bonds in qualifying is definitely "1B concept car". If you only have 20,000 bonds, you will definitely choose the "1B concept car". After the 1B concept car is in hand, if you have more bonds and want a money car, you can consider Charlemagne. If you don't need 8 gold and just want to hone your skills, you can switch to a 50-ton main battle. Charlemagne's car, for the entire 8 gold team, is not a particularly strong T0 god car, but for the Y series 8 gold team is of great significance, it will become the second Y series 8 gold "top pillar" after GSOR 1008. 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.
