Is Wot Gonna Do Earn Amx Cdc Op Again 2019

Hullo everyone,

Wargaming learned from their fault and did let united states of america examination the new upcoming premium vehicles, that will exist sold for money – STA-ii and AMX Chasseur de Chars (furthermore referred to as AMX CDC). Let'due south have a expect at them.

AMX CDC

Well, the moment we all waited for is here. AMX CDC, by far the most interesting vehicle amongst the premiums, all yours for testing. I strongly suggest you practice before you commit or spend any money. Here are my impressions of the vehicle.

It'southward okay. "What the fuck, but okay?!" I hear you say? Allow me to explain. When the first data were leaked, a lot of people assumed that this vehicle would definitely be OP as hell, based on the insane horsepower of the engine alone. I mean – 1200hp on a 34 ton vehicle, holy fuck! As a event of this, a myth arose that this vehicle uncomplicated HAS to be vivid.

Well, it'due south not, non that much anyway. It sort of works and it's okay, but that's it. First, the mobility. The mobility is much worse than what you would expect from that kind of horsepower, as information technology is partially balanced by hull traverse and partially (invisibly) past terrain resistance. The vehicle accelerated very speedily, but does not turn that well (STA-2 feels more than agile!), but that's not all. First, it loses speed VERY quickly when climbing whatever slopes, for example the Malinovka hill you will be climbing with the speed of around xxx km/h (!). That's non much. Secondly, it loses speed very quickly during turns. Do NOT expect this vehicle to behave similar a light tank (or a Batchat), it's less active. Secondly, there is the relatively depression pinnacle speed of 57 km/h. Sure, on the newspaper, it feels like a LOT, simply consider it a hardcap – even from very steep loma, where a light tank would easily attain 70+, you'll be still going threescore km/h. Information technology sounds a lot, only information technology is not, and let me explicate why.

The size. This tank is HUGE, considering how fast and it is supposed to be. It is a big fatty easy target – and it has no armor whatsoever. And I hateful that, check the armor schematics. No armor at all. I had I lucky bounce from the mantlet, but otherwise – naught. So basically, what we have here is a big, fat medium tank version of a Hellcat – a tank that can become fast in 1 direction, simply heaven preclude you lot want to brand circles or maneuver around anything. It volition get yous fast to the spot you want to take, merely not much else. Notwithstanding, against slower tanks it tin can concord its own, it can circle around KV-4 for example, just if you become hit or (heaven prevent) detracked, you lot are dead, menstruation.

But of course, there is the tertiary part of the equation, the gun. Well, basically it's a 90mm DCA you all know and love from the French tanks. Very roughly an equal to the German long 88mm. It fires AP and decent APCR shells as gold, which fly Actually fast, that's a huge plus. When continuing, it's decently accurate, merely it loses a good portion of accuracy when on the move, plus there is the 9.6 accurateness nerf… in other words, practise not expect to hit anything when moving, unless you are firing point blank. On the other manus, the gun has proficient depression, so you lot can (in theory) make employ of various terrain irregularities.

All in all, it's a mixture of speed and firepower – sort of like tier 8 Hellcat. If you get hit, y'all die, if you don't, you tin can wreak some serious havoc. Or… can you?

At that place'due south a HUGE catch. This vehicle does non have express MM. This afternoon, I only was in 2 battles with tier ten vehicles – this is a "speciality" of a test server: there are battles but LOADED with tier eight′southward and therefore the server only ignores the higher battletiers and puts 8′southward together. Against tier viii′s, this vehicle is really good, if you are conscientious. You rush and you are dead. Y'all get exposed, you are expressionless. Everyone will shoot at you because you lot are a big fat target with no armor any. Over again, a comparison with Hellcat comes to my mind. But in tier 10 battles, this vehicle is really, REALLY bad. In city maps, it's as well large and conspicuous to flank, although once again, if y'all manage to flank or stay subconscious, you can practise some MAJOR damage. Simply in any case, it is not a vehicle for newbies – play information technology for example like a regular tier 8 premium medium and you lot are dead. For me, the unlimited MM is a sort of dealbreaker. It could be nerfed a fleck and accept limited MM, but in current state, it volition be hard to apply in tier 10 battles.

Hard to say. For advanced players, information technology'll be a nasty vehicle and unicums will exist able to do a LOT of impairment in it. In average easily, I retrieve it'll be a poor one instead. Results will have to show, but testing information technology is definitely a sobering experience.

STA-2

….and now yous wait me to tell you that this vehicle is shit, don't you?

Really, it's not. Surprisingly, it's quite okay.

I retrieve that STA-2 was considered an underdog of this batch of vehicles from the start. I mean, information technology's non a one pull a fast one on pony, it has no massive redeeming quality. It's sort of bland even. But it works.

Showtime, the mobility – this vehicle is SLOW. And I hateful it. Even on flat surface, you lot will rarely go over xl km/h and even smaller hills volition reduce your speed to 20-25 km/h easily. Malinovka hill? 25-28 km/h. It'southward non a fast flanker and it should non be played as such. The engine horsepower is not infrequent, only what it lacks in acceleration, this vehicle makes upward in agility. Information technology turns extremely well, better than the CDC in fact – it is very agile, so no, no light tank volition circle yous, you'll be able to turn around to face him nicely. It might non seem like a big thing compared to the lack if speed, but it is, the vehicle definitely feels comfortable.

The armor, as you tin see, is however quite poor. The hull will not stop whatsoever shells and y'all volition get torn apart if you lot become caught in the open. Y'all don't have the speed to evade shells either, and then you have to be careful. The mantlet area nonetheless seems nasty and I had a nice shootout with a Panther 88 player, who shot the mantlet iv times – ii rounds it bounced, i came through and i was "eaten". Not bad, certainly unexpected. Maybe it was just luck, merely the turret is okay, unless of class you permit anyone to shoot at your weakpoints. Of course, it won't terminate tier ix or 10 shells, but confronting other tier 8′s, it's fine.

And so at that place's the gun. It's quite bland actually – call up Super Pershing. Merely it aims fast and fires fast – so that's a proficient affair. The vehicle also has good depression. The ace in the sleeve are however the 275mm Rut penetration gilded shells, that can take care of even some tier ten′s and most tier 9′s. Only that'due south golden of course.

Overall, I am non sure what to recollect. I really did fine with the vehicle, but most battles were tier viii′s. Against tier 10′due south, without golden, yous are completely outmatched and I suspect is that one of the points of non making this vehicle with express MM (like the Super Pershing) is to increase the purchase rate of gilded armament in hightier battles. On the other hand, the vehicle is very agile and comfortable to utilize. Equally a 2nd line support tank, it volition find its place on the battlefield and I surprisingly have better feeling of it than I have of the CDC.

Oh well, fourth dimension will tell.
