Oh boy, this again T62a: pros; Great turret, better than the 140, Lazer acurasy, better base pen on pramo and standard, better terain resistance and traverse speed, and 7 degrees of gun dipression instead of the 140s 6.

Obj140: pros; Better top speed, ap for standard shell, better hull and side armor because of angles, lower profile.

T62a: cons; larger, less hull armor, apcr instead of ap(this can be a pro or a con depending on the situation), Slower top speed.

Obj140:cons; Weaker turret, less pen, 6 degrees of gun depression, less traverse and terain resistance

 

p.s. Dont say wz121 i think that the russian ones are better because i like the extra dpm this discussion is for picking between the 2 tanks, not adding others that are better

Spoiler

 

my current position is leaning twards the 140 for faster platoons and better shell normalization, the small size and hull armor are also nice.

 

[KempBushThe3rd]

The better accuracy, turret armor, and gun depression on the T-62A trumps any advantage that the Obj 140 may have over the T-62A. Normalization on the 140 might be nice, but the 62's gun is a laser. 140 might have better hull armor, but it's still not something you can rely on whereas the 62 has a turret that you can comfortably block shells with. 140 might have better top speed, but both have godlike terrain resistances anyway and so the only time that extra 5 km/h will make a difference is when you're trying to relocate halfway across the map.

 

I have a pretty strong opinion about what should be done with the 140 but I need to get my lazy bum to write the forum post first 

[jdc178]

I get that the t62 has better stats, but the objs upper plate and shell normalization are winners to me because i broal a ton. i just got the t54 and its 100% stock, like 76%crew i think, and i already like it... this in compairison to the t54e1 i hate it eaven though its max (exept for the top engin which does almost nothing)  I plan on getting and keeping both the 140 and the t62, but for firsts, i an going to get the 140 because of the lower hull and brawling suited gun. thx for ur feedback

If that's your playstyle, then sure. But don't make up any fantasies because brawling at tier 10 is a great way to bleed all of your hitpoints.

[_Nekomata]

Take this with a grain of salt: I have both tanks, and I do better in the 62A, but I'm a diehard 140 fan.

 

The gun on the 140 feels less comfortable, but it pens shots it shouldn't pen. The gun on the 62A performs better, but it'll occasionally bounce shots it shouldn't bounce. 

The turret on the T-62A is far more solid. The 140...it'll bounce occasional shots.

The hull armour on the 140 will catch some bounces, but I wouldn't count on it. 

The speed is where the 140 wins out. 

 

The best way I can put this is the 62A is much, much more consistent, but the 140 -- with some skill, and some help from RNG-- can outperform it.

I have T-62a it has great mobility and pretty nice gun 5.4 sec reload for 300 dmg not bad at all.

[Dirk_The_Dragon_Slayer]

I have the 140, but voted for the T62 because it always cleans my clock when it's on red. I cannot get my 140 to play that we'll. The 62 just plays better apparently. 

[_Baroness]

I voted for the STB-1

If you seriously have to ask this question, then perhaps you shouldn’t get either.

 

The slight advantages the 140 has does not make up for all the inferior statistics it has compared to the 62a. The 62a can still brawl just as well if you know how to drive. Besides, brawling only happens once in every 3 matches (one on one brawling at least). Those scenarios it really just comes down to who has the most skill, luck and who got the better position first.

 

And why would you even ask this question if you’ve made up your mind already? Kinda of pointless...

 

Edit: looking at your blitzstar stats you shouldn’t be getting either one yet. You need to work on getting better numbers on you t54, or within lower tiers...

This.  

[tedg5]

I voted t62, because duh. But go ahead and argue away like above, not really sure why you asked to then argue with anyone stating the obvious. Btw, I have both.

Cant believe people are still asking this question. Also the wz121 is no slouch to dpm. If you are going to fight one thinking ur going to out dpm it, be extra careful you dont get into a position where you are trading shot for shot

140 is irrelevant after its turret nerf

ik, an i am working on it, i started playing it 100% stock and am free to play, i also platooned with my friend for fun andn and didnt fdo much great gamepleay, i play this game for fun, not winrate. I am still atleast 3 weeks from either so i will get better, also, 175 pen in t10 is not ok, it severly ruins my winrate, soooo...

[jdc178]

alos, i am not certain on which one to get i am going to do both, eventualy, but yea.

tfw 82% of the vote goes one way and you're still not sure which one to choose

[jdc178]

look, i am not certain because the 140 is better for my playstile and seems more fun, i dont rly care what all the others think is better, again, i might get the t62, it is looking more appealing than the 140, but i want the 140 gun on the t54 so that also plays into it. Dont say thats bad because i dont care about pen, i play tier 5 leopard and t49, i can deal with no pen, its better than the 175 i am dealing with right now, so... yea 

[TengenToppaPotatoLagann]

research both tanks before buying either... the practice will pay off
