Personal Review
This is not a tank I have played, and I doubt I ever will get to play due to the rarity and cost of the Russian boxed editions. However if you manage to get your hands on one (lucky you), you are going to sit there laughing the whole time. This tank is absolutely over-powered, yes it has weak points, and in a tier IV game, tank destroyers can penetrate you, but not reliably. If you are in a Tier III max game, you may as well just roll into their base, as the only guns that you should be afraid of are tank destroyers and some other guns. However this tank cannot have everything, and when you get to the gun, for a tier III tank, it is very lacking. The aim time is very good, the accuracy is atrocious, making this strickly a close range tank. The penetration on your standard rounds is also very bad, and will have substantial trouble penetrating tanks even at its tier, and even some tier II tanks, so carrying some premium rounds is highly recommended.

Really it's a good thing this tank is so rare, because if you were fighting these all the time it really wouldn't be fair. If you can get you hands on a boxed edition from Russian with the codes and are happy to start a new account (the box with all the tier III's will also set you back about $500 USD) then by all means, get one and watch as everything bounces off your armor, even with little angling.

Pros

 * Insane armor
 * Does not see tier V battles

Cons

 * Slow mobility
 * Weak gun penetration and accuracy
 * Loses effectiveness somewhat in Tier IV games
