Obj 279 is not a premium 😉 Useless for grinding the low tiers. Ignore it. Better off getting premiums around 10.3-10.7 if you are going to spend money, and want something high BR/Rank.
i know the point was thats its the best russian tank for its br
the IS6 is a very good vehicle its a better version of the IS4M as it doesnt have a massive drivers port weak spot
Does it play like the begleitpanzer at all?
no its a leo 1 at higher tier tams are kinda mid at there tiers cause there 105s still workable
T-34-100 is by far my favourite of the three. Fast, powerful gun, decent reload. armour is poor though

T-34-100. Good mobility and good gun. What more do you need?
Some have talked about T-34-85 being better at its BR, yeah but why buy prem version when there is free one at the tech tree? I mean sure if you want to just grind SL and like 85 then go for it.
I have T-34-100 and I like it, IS-6 ain’t bad but far from glory days when it came out with 400mm mantlet armor. Also there is lot more HEAT slingers around so at the end of they day you’re IS-3 that is faster and has slightly better reload.
Can’t say much about T-44-122. Friend has it and seems to do really well in it.
Wasn’t the is 6 6.7 back in the day?
7.0 I’m pretty sure.
Damn that was 1.67 8 years ago. I feel old
They are all somewhat lacklustre. T34-100 has awesome gun but lacklustre armor for its BR. T44-122 has awesome gun but absolutely atrocious reload time. (Tech tree t44s are way more effective due to that). IS-6 has good armor, good mobility for a heavy tank but suffers from the same reload time problem and heavy tank syndrome (Armor in uptiers doesnt mean much while having the slower than average mobility due to its weight). Yeah, dont play heavy tanks in uptiers when 70% of matches are uptiers is great.
Still if you want any of those 3 id opt for the IS-6. But depends what playstyle you prefer.
If you want something actually strong get the TO-55 (though that comes with a higher price tag i guess). Lowest BR fully stabilized Russian tank (together with obj 906), and as a t55 it has quite decent mobility. Plus (if that wasnt changed) its the highest BR tank for russia in that sim bracket and one of the only tanks at its bracket with full stabilizer (while ofc having basically heavy tank armor to most of the conventional shells youre facing, especially if you manage to angle)
How do you feel about the object 120? Because that has been my favorite Russian vehicle sense yes
Unfortunately i dont have it myself but yeah you could consider that if you like it. awesome gun, awesome ammo but not that good gun handling and annoying to brawl with because insanely long gun (also no armor). Probably still more effective than the t44-122 due to much better reload (23s fully aced on a medium tank with bad reverse is just doodoo). On longer range maps im quite sure the obj 120 is very nice because you can lolpen almost everything you can see on a gun which is easy af to aim bc of apfsds muzzle velocity (no bullet drop)
so it would kinda play like a leopard
i guess yeah. With better ammo but worse gun handling and ofc worse gun depression angles. also worse mobility, just strictly sniping end boss

it hits you, you die
NO LOL! While “yes sniping”, machine guns can kill you in the Obj 120, and any auto cannon will absolutely obliterate you. Also it does not have a laser rangefinder NOR even a regular rangefinder. Which makes long distance shots a real chore, especially in GRB. And ZERO gun stabilization, not even a basic stab. So, no. I would say it is nothing like playing a Leopard 😂
I have it, it is fun, silly good dart for its BR, but not the best premium tonk there is. Also it has bad gun depression, typical of RU tonks.
Now, the dart is very very fast with a very flat trajectory, so if you are good at eyeballing distances, you can get hits. But of all the premium tonks, especially RU ones, I would only recommend the Obj 120 for long term/“pro” players who know how to play something like it already.
There are much better premium options for RU, especially for a premium to grind out most/all of the tech tree.
Make sure you are taking these tonks into test drives, and actually drive around. Test shooting while driving, test how long it takes for the gun to settle down after stopping (especially on something like the Obj 120.) Go further backwards and test long long range shots. Do not just test them from the starting point, drive around the map for a while to get a complete feel for them.
Personally at that “high” of a BR, I would NOT get a premium without a laser rangefinder and/or stabilizer (unless I was adding to my existing premium lineup, which is what I did with the Obj 120.) You will just have so much of a better experience grinding an entire tech tree with those two modifications.
Obj 120 Cons:
- Bad gun depression
- No armor
- Absolutely no gun stabilization
- No laser rangefinder, nor regular rangefinder
- Slow turret traverse speed & slow gun elevation speed
- High visibility stat @ 108%, compared to other premium options. Not terribly high for an SPG, but you will be seen much more often compared to even the T-80UD which only has 78% visibility.
Obj 120 Pros:
- Fairly good reverse speed @ 15 KM/h with 2 reverse gears (Especially for an RU tank)
- Very good Dart for its BR
- Very good HEAT-FS for its BR @ 480mm armor pen
- Dart is extremely fast with very flat trajectory
- Auto loader @ 10 seconds with 10 rounds in first stage (a “pro” @ 10 seconds for a large caliber SPG)
T-34-100 for sure.
it’s fast, has amazing cannon, extremely low BR for a 100mm soviet cannon (only found in +7.0 TT tanks, ignoring the Object 248) and it’s basically just a T-34-85 with a bigger cannon at a super low BR.
T-44-122 is literally a T-44 with T-44 (FM) armor, a 122mm IS-2’s cannon and an extremely long reload. if u’re good with Peek-A-Boo techniques and know how to play fast vehicles with bad reload, u can use this one.
IS-6 is not meta anymore, but still very good for it’s BR. it has very good mobility, decent armor and a better reload than the normal IS series, which highly improves the gameplay.
from this 3 i really recommend u the T-34-100, it’s a beast for it’s BR and a very cool grinder.
i found my sibling!
I just got premium time.
Basic but it works
I don’t get the hate for it

Awesome brother. It might look like it’s not a huge increase by the % numbers, but cumulatively the increase in RP’s and SL’s is massive. Especially when using premium vehicles. (Premium vehicles double the Premium Time SL gains. The RP increases are “only” additive, but it’s still a huge increase to your tech tree grind with Prem Time+Prem Vehicles.)
Also worth repeating, always try to use any SL boosters you use with one of your good/higher tier premium vehicles (usually the higher the BR, the higher the base SL % is.) The Premium Vehicles DOUBLE SL boosters. So a 500% SL booster turns into a 1,000% SL booster 🤑 (RP boosters are NOT doubled, they are always additive. So it’s fine to use those with any vehicle. I like to use RP boosters on vehicles that I’m grinding modifications for. Helps speed up that part of the grind.)
When using both your RP’s go 3x+, and your SL’s 4x+. Remember to pay for Expert Training with SL’s for vehicles you like, and ALWAYS get Expert Training on your premium vehicles. 100% worth it.
I don’t think I mentioned it, but once you pay for Expert Training you start accumulating points towards discounted and eventually FREE Ace Training for the vehicle. Doesn’t take that long if you are using a vehicle often. AND that discounted Ace Training is based on RP points, so the premium time greatly increases the speed that you will obtain the Ace Training for that vehicle.
It should be obvious, but once you train a specific vehicle in a specific crew slot do NOT move it to a different crew slot, especially for the premium vehicles. The points to build up to the discounted/free Ace Training are tied to that specific crew slot. So if you move it, you will have to start the Ace Training grind again
As always if you have any questions just reply 👍
Any answers?
I answered you very thoroughly lol. NO it is NOT like the Begel.
Read everything I wrote about the 2S38 again. I effectively wrote multiple essays in here for you 😂 Yes, if you have new questions ping me, but the 2S38 has been gone over plenty already in this thread.
