I remember that tank; it was a nightmare when they first introduced it because of the amount of spam it had, and because of the sheer brutality of having an APHE shell with over 200mm of penetration and no armor (the best armor). Now I don’t know if they’ve made it weaker against HE shells, but I remember that before it could withstand those rounds without problems (that is, if it let you reload), and the only effective way to break the shell was to shoot it at a certain point on the front of the hull.
It’s just a gun. Use ur 50 cal or a HE shot, as long as u shoot first u should be fine. It only seems good cuz only skilled players have it
