Lol.   

 On a serious sort of note, I took the wife on a gondola ride last year at the Venetian- it’s not nearly as romantic as it appears when you see it from the ‘shore’.

After meeting a few of them in battles I went and had a look in armor inspector. 

This is from my beloved amx13-57.

I think we can talk about invincibility at this point.

 

i feel like my panther m10 when the defender invasion happened back in the days. 

But worst.

I had a ton of absurd bounces of one of those....it's one of those tanks like is5, it shows up grey and highly penneble but isn't so much. I feel that makes it stronger than if it was just solid red, bc now everyone is shooting at it and bouncing instead of shooting something else. Like the opposite of glacial, glacial is red AF to most meds , except for the lower plate and hatches that might as well have shoot me signs on em, because ppl will, and do. At least they save their shells because it's apparent where not to shoot.

I treat this tank the same way I treat the  VK.100.  The 252U is there to soak up hits while it's team depletes your team's HP pool.  You can't play its game.  Avoid it, save it for last whenever possible.  Take the red guns out of the fight and then handle the 252U.

This.    I love driving lights and mediums.   This is all I've seen in the scope all weekend long.

It is significantly more mobile than the Vk.  

  I saw two on red in my Smasher today - HE rolls around 400 in most places - I got a 640 with fire on the rear. 

Both where low 50% players - neither did anything of significance.  

 

I think a good player could be really effective in it.

I got the 252U... for FREE!!!

Want to know my secret?

All it took was my current garage, a six pack of Yuengling, and a small piece of masking tape.

I launch into any game with my IS-3/IS-5/IS-6/WZ-111/WS-112. I drink the Yuengling. I write “252U” on the masking tape and move it to wherever my tank’s name shows up in the HUD. The resulting movement delays semi-perfectly imitate the slightly slower maneuverability of the 252U....

$50 SAVED!!!!!

Blartch is the hero of this forum.

 

 

On armor inspector we don’t take into account those “enhanced armor” that makes it stronger.

the other issue is the crazy angling of plates all around. With the slightest lag it will deceive you into shooting the wrong plate. 

Plus when the angle goes into autobounce, spamming prammo doesn’t even solve your pen issue, it might even make it worse. 

 

I am tempted to say like Diablo, treat it like a vk100 or KV4, leave it alone until he is alone and you can snipe him or get 3v1 on him. 

But yeah that thing moves like an IS5, and I have bad experiences already with IS5 that just follow you everywhere, the map is too close to disappear once he is somewhat towards the middle, and he follows you pointing at you and bouncing everything you throw from your light/ medium. I can see that coming.

 

That tank could retire my lekpz for good. At least the IS5 has this fat HE magnet [edited] that loves to blow up and burn.

252u has no weak point to speak of.

[TengenToppaPotatoLagann]

lowe shoots down into it nicely, i'll say that.

You mean the lower rear plate ?

Because If you meant that one

 

 

(BTW that’s prammo APCR loaded from my tier7 AMX and not counting the “enhanced armor”

then we won’t agree it’s a weak point.

its more or less available on anytank.

first of all its available

I've got to side with Cletus, the lava at the volcano is very mood inspiring.
