The Obj 140 gameplay was recorded yesterday, July 14th, but I was unable to upload it until now.

 

First thing's first, the Obj 140's gun does not have the handling, or RoF of its older brother, the T-62A. That does not mean in any way shape or form that the 140 is a worse tank. The gun handling is only worse by the slimmest of margins in every area besides the RoF, where in many people's opinions the gun should get a slight buff.

With regards to maneuverability, the Obj 140 is faster, but accelerates slower due to worse terrain resistance. The 140 will beat a T-62A to key positions at the start of a battle, and it will run down the last enemies more efficiently. The difference in the hull and turret traverse (I believe 4 for the hull, and 8 for the turret) means that you are slower to get your gun on targets of opportunity if they are a complete 180 degrees from your original point of aim.

As far as the armor is concerned, the 140's hull armor is superior to the 62's because of the great sloping. The turret armor of the 140 IS worse than the 62's, and it has more weak spots, but that doesn't mean it has a weak turret. Weak relative to one of the strongest turrets in the game (if not the strongest) is nothing to be ashamed of. It still has a strong Russian turret, that allowed myself to snag a steel wall in my second match ever in the 140, while getting shot at by another 140, a 50M, and a Patton. The turret is weakER, but not WEAK.

As far as flexibility is concerned, it is another area that the 140 wins. The extra degree of gun depression works wonders when you're on the hill on mines, shooting down on the enemies, you can change flanks more quickly and you will get to strong positions before the 62.

Well you certainly did well with a good toon mate. I wonder how it would do on its own? Maybe a few vids of that?

I actually never got the chance to upload it because I was packing for vacation. I'm currently away from home, and probably won't have much time to play/record/upload. But in about a week (the 21st) I'll be home and up and running again

So in your opinion, is it worth it to spend nearly 10 million credits on this tank?

it was the first time I had fun playing blitz in a while. But it's also my first brand new tank in a while. IMHO, the tank is worth it. I'll be driving it plenty. 

 

Not gonna lie though... Running the KV-2, and penning another KV-2's turret with HE and 1 shotting him was amazing. Both the KV-2 and the 140 are incredibly fun to drive

Nice. But I think I will be sticking to my 62A as my main medium. The E 50 had its side to you because it has more gun depression that way, I guess he was on a slight incline. Not the best spot to turn your hull to the side though. Speaking of which has anyone confirmed if the obj 140 has an extra degree of gun depression all around or is it just in the front?

agreed, both tanks are a blast. The KV-2 vs KV-2 duels are great fun, a game of nerves, whos going to shot first? The Obj is slick, low slung, and bouncy. The slight downgrade in gun handling compared to the 62 is a non factor. Same with the turret, its plenty strong.

1 shorting a fellow KV-2 driver, and then hilarity ensues. He wasn't even mad. He was just bummed that I did it to him first xD

In a 140v62 dual, straight up just shooting the hull and penetrating every time, the 62 would win. But there are plenty of situations that the 140 is better.

-6 degrees over the front and sides but only -2 degrees over the rear.

Where do you get this information? I don't think its accurate.

armor inspector/ common knowledge for German drivers. E75 is the same.

Yeah, just googled it. I had no idea, and I have 700+ games in the E50 

[Rocket_na]

I find the 140 annoying.

It's like the difference between model years on cars.

Meh.....got it but......yawn.

Would you play this tank like the T-62? or does it have a slightly modded playstyle, or a completely different one?

play style is slightly different. I've never had trouble with the RoF of the tank, but occasionally you'll miss out on a shot because you're not quite reloaded yet. Because you can get your gun on target quicker because of gun depression, you can sometimes get the first shot off you otherwise wouldn't have. And with that extra gun depression, there are MORE places you can use the great turret of the 140 to your advantage. Honestly it's a T10 T-54. Plain and simple 

 

The turret is excellent, the hull is excellent, the gun is excellent (but still worse handling than the 62) the speed is excellent with less maneuverability and acceleration.

That gun depression is sounding very tasty ;~;

 

Thanks for the response. Looks like this thing will dominate the hill on mines...
