Somua sm can absolutely pen everyone that you can ever see except the is7 in front or it’s from a special angle, if you learn a bit weak spot you will see that you can easily kill maus, all the other is and american heavy tanks etc.
I find it a really enjoyable premium, you can’t grind the whole tree but you will still do a lot of sl with it and you have one of the easiest lineup to do nukes with similar tanks (my friend who hate them did few nukes even if he couldn’t drop it).
It has many advantage like an autoloader with a quick reload, (you can’t shoot all your shells like that or else you will have a long time refilling your ready rack, you will most likely during the game go to a point to refill some ammo) some armor, (it won’t save you all the time) shells with a lot of penetration with a rangerinder and a quick enough speed.
alright, thanks i’ll go with the Somua in that case
Also I’d wait for sale in May when some packs are gonna be 50%.

Depends on the tech tree you want to grind. I’d say the IS-6 is the worst of them, and the Somua being the best.
Understood Comrade 07
Only tried the T29 so not sure how they compare…
BUT T29 is a great tank at its BR. No issue with mobility, gun depression or any such thing…
Gun is effective and armor can take some damage. It will always depend on match BR…BUT it is above average for its BR. Effective in combat and economy.
Hi,
I’ve got the IS-6 and the Somua and I’d recommend the IS-6, which is harder to destroy and generally takes just one shot to blow up whatever you’ve got in front of you.
Ok, the Somua has greater penetration and an automatic magazine, but with its turret armour, it’s easy to destroy.
Generally speaking, French premium should be avoided because either their BR is too high, or it’s a copy/paste of something you’d normally use.
I own all 3. Personally. T29 would be the most consistent as its in a BR that won’t see to many full uptiers (8.0) compared to the 7.7 IS-6 and Somua SM which will most often fight 8.7s. However if you had to pick between the two 7.7s id recommend the IS-6. While the Somua SM AP round is no slouch it can be very underwhelming at times compared to APHE.
So overall it’d go like this
T29 for consistency
IS-6 for fun
Somua SM for strategic fun (you actually have to use a couple braincells)
