How to actually not be dogwater with the T-72AV TURMS-T?

so i’ve had the TURMS-T for a long while now, and ever since i’ve barely been able to use it no matter how many videos i watch or guides i find online; 90% of the time i die in the first 5 minutes to an enemy i barely saw for less than a second because the Soviets never bothered protecting the breech (and almost all of these are to the goddamn CV90105 for some godforsaken reason with me being able to do jack shit about them)
in general i just need ANY advice so that i don’t wake up everyday knowing i wasted 60+ dollars on a tank that’s absolute crap to use

I do enjoy playing the t-72s one thing about them they are not the best in CQC so try getting in a good position to snipe, the tank is low profile and it has a dozer blade one trick i like to use is, Dig a decently big hole load he rangefind using binos and your gun aim from binos and arch your shot over the dirt and kill them without exposing yourself.

It’s a situational vehicle, which means it’s not good for grinding.

Yeah, you just waste $60 on a terrible tank for grinding, you could got T-80UD with the same issues but a better armor in trade of the bad mobility and gun handling.

Chill
Eeeh, I would say you need to play without overthinking and precautiouness

Maybe small potion of little vodka may help (why not)

Having my younger brother observations (I didn’t played for years)
bought him this can – he plays in that mentioned above way style, and whoa not bad at all

I could’t do that so but he can

Brief - imagine that this is Т-34 1942 or 85 with ERA

So as
don’t wind up your selfpressure – it’s a trap, hampter wheel, believe me
I…I can’t explain properly now. You need to “feel the tank” + again do not overthink

And as a reminder – it’s a cruel(no) high tier(s)
usually paying attention at the beginning of match (shuffles, map itself, batte type, luck, prediction, and so on) guarantee you 70% of the WIN

But idn ask the One who has good scores on it (check the ranks or stats)

Pretty bad example, the T-34s have competitive speed and turret traverse for their tier

You’d dislike 99% of top tier gameplay, all MBTs have butter breeches

It’s one of the worst digger ever with -4 reverse speed, by the time we dig ourselves deep enough we will get bombed by CAS or match already ended.

somehow i make it work.

The T-72AV was never a particularly strong tank. For its BR, both the T-72B mod.1989 and T-80UD significantly outperform it, especially the T-80UD
The onlydifference between the T-72AV’s armour and that of the 9.3 T-72A is an additional layer of Kontakt-1 ERA, which is largely ineffective against APFSDS rounds. It’s the 3BM42 and high-quality thermals that keep it at 10.3, but that’s about it

12

The Moderna is in an even worse position lol 10.7 with T-72A’s armor profile, it even sees M829A2, entire tank is a weakspot

13

Since Im playinfg it lately my adivce is have fully upgraded crew and play little slower and hope you dont run into too much wallhakers. but its tuff since every match will be uptire.
but good luck

I can imagine it might work, because T-72 is rather low profile so you only has to dig a little which is enough to hide the entire hull behind it, unlike taller vehicles like Abrams, it needs to be deeper.

I find it quite important to show where you come from when giving advices, so for me:
Overall 30 Day:
WR 66%,
Rel. Positon 81%
KD 1,92

With Turms-t
WR 54%
KD just short of 2
Battles played 273

Sad saied, i dont like the Turms-t, the non excistence backwards speed is my biggest issue with it.
The bad mobility forwards for that BR is also not so nice.
If you focus on grinding with it, dont put a 10.7 into the deck, try to stay 10.3 and hope for 9.3 matches.
Any 10.7 will eat you alive.

Armor is okish against lowtier, rubbish against 10.7
You can play it on every map but because u cant take any hits you need to make sure to shot first. Play it like a slow glass cannon basically.

There isnt really much more to say about it, its not a good tank and therefore you will get kicked ass a lot. The tank dont have the speed to be a flanker, you cant affort to miss a shot due to long reload, u cant fight on corners due to insane slow backwards speed, you dont have enough pen to just push the enemy, as you will need to aim and the enemy usually not therefore usually has the edge on these fights…

but as a second spawn, where mobility is usually not that super important anymore, its better. Usually u also know on second spawn where the enemy is, so you can prepair yourself and so on… first spawn best 2s38… cause 2s38 simply the most utterly broken op tank in the higher tiers.

Sorry
Yep, back tr. speed a real backbone breaker for the nugget, agree

When I wrote the comment – idn I though about non duel scenario

Sure, some maps will be difficult to outcome, so as some pretty straightforward

But it’s not that bad as chinese T96A (maybe I dumb enough)

  • there’s alwaays DA WAE – to dismount Kontrakt-1 so more mobility (can’t recall from the mem. if possible to dismount it)
