Of course I know its a test tank, but I want to hear your guy's opinions, expectations, and concerns about it anyway.

 

Just by looking at it in Armor Inspector, it looks like it has pretty decent frontal armor and gun depression. 

The turrent in some areas, when angled right, reached around 850mm. 

Its upper glacis was 220-300+ when facing it head on on flat ground.

The gun seems alright at first glance, but I didn't spend too much time looking at the stats.

You mean the M-VI-Yoh.

 

The gun looks nearly broken with 3k DPM but it doesn't look insanely OP. The armor for a heavy is ok, but not great. It has some really good parts, but very obvious weak spots.

 

It's also funny to note that when using the smaller (105mm) gun, the cupolas become weaker.

Fixed it.

Interesting. I didn't notice that about the cupolas.

The tank has two guns. The top gun is an inferior T57 Heavy gun but with shorter magazine reload, while the stock gun is... 900 damage in 1.4 seconds.

 

There's literally no excuse for how broken overpowered the tank is. There was a time when the SP I C was my favorite tank in the game (and it proudly remains my tank with the highest winrate on Blitzstars) because it pumped out 440 damage in 2 seconds, and WG thought the tank was overperforming and nerfed the intraclip to 3.5 seconds. So why did they think it would be a good idea to give a heavy tank more alpha than the Jageroo, spread out over only 1.4 seconds, and have a reload shorter than the E 100?

You make a fair point.

I hope they adda legendary camo to it called "Mama"

Don’t spend too much time thinking about it right now.   All you can do is let the testers pad their stats until it gets nerfed before it’s available in the tech tree.

Because it’s the same development team that brought you the annihilator.  2/2

interesting to see a blitz-exclusive line.

This is another kind of tread that should be deleted automatically: speculate about tank in test that will be largely modified before the release.

Nope.  It’s gonna be in the Tech Tree

It actually resembles the Annihilator quite a bit IMO. They both look ugly and weird, both have stupidly troll armor, and both do ridiculous damage.

I am going to snipe those cupolas harder than I snipe the chieftains cupolas

Well now, the Yoh's are out. The M-VI-Yoh imo is basically a buffed T57 with a 2-shell reload (1.7sec interload) of 14sec, or 3-shell of around 19.

There are the two massive cupolas on either side of its ugly mosquito face which can easily be penned. Same with the hull which is a weaker. But, the best thing about it is, obviously, the tracks. When your tracks are destroyed, you can move backwards at a pace of -5kph for a few seconds as your main tracks are being repaired. This pisses people off lol.

Also, the 3-shell stock gun is the better of the two, you can get in 900ish if you high roll. (But this is all my opinion)

Well, is the tier X much better or about the same as the IX for its class?  I remember the test tank was creating imbalances like crazy for the team that had one. I lost every match.  Seems  they reduced the tank from 4 shells to 3.    Now I can upgrade to it, or AMX 50 B, Kranvagn, Or Vickers Light      I find the slow reloads put me at a real disadvantage unless I'm support  in most of these magazine tanks.  The Yoh has the best win rate of the lot by a smidgen. But may be as frustrating as the IX.  

Thoughts?
