Tank M44 Guide World of Tanks




Alas, but for most artillery fans, the M44 will be a disappointment after the remarkable M41. Despite the fact that the tank is a level higher, it has practically the same tool as the younger brother, and large dimensions do not promise anything good.
General information.
Being developed on the basis of the American light tank M41 Walker Bulldog, the artillery partially retained its driving performance, but it is more likely that this is all. Circular reservation of 12 mm and rather large sizes, make this self-propelled gun easy prey even the smallest LT with machine guns in service. The gun is also not very noticeable in terms of performance, although it does not lag behind the average among classmates. As a result, we can say that the M44 is the most unbalanced artillery at the 6th level
Detailed main features:
Cannon:
• One-time average damage - 700 units.
• Rate of fire - 2.73 rounds per minute.
• Reduction time is 6 seconds.
• Accuracy spread - 0,8 m.
Recommended equipment.
Equipment, as in most artillery:
• Howitzer cannon senders - we increase the total damage per minute, due to improvements in the characteristics of the gun.
• Drives data - of course the speed of data also has a direct relationship, both to the rate of fire and accuracy.
• Enlightened optics - a wonderful equipment. Sometimes it is extremely useful, especially when you are alone. However, if you do not like to drag fights, and are ready to trust the allies, it is better to put a camouflage net, in one of the 20 battles it can help.
The equipment can be installed as follows:
• Repair kit.
• First Aid Kit.
• Box of cola (the matter is that one-time damage is not the biggest for us, and to keep up with classmates, it would be nice to increase, at least the rate of fire, and other characteristics will increase, which is also not bad).
Crew.
After M41, we lose the radio operator, but he is replaced by another charger. Take him some useless perk, for example intuition (can be useful if you carry a few gold shells with you). The first loader is rocking the desperate, because dropping hit points to 10% for us just to spit, and the additional speed of fire will be just right. The mechanic learns the driver virtuoso, which will help a little in the fight against LT. The commander automatically shakes the light bulb, and the gunner smooth turn of the tower, in order to realize our greater angle of horizontal aiming at 60 degrees more. The second perk all swing Battle Brotherhood, and the third take skill masking.
Set of skills:
• Commander: 6th sense, Combat brotherhood, disguise.
• Mechanic driver: Virtuoso, Combat brotherhood, disguise.
• Gunner: smooth turn of the tower, Combat brotherhood, disguise.
• Charging: Intuition, Combat Brotherhood, disguise.
• Charging: Desperate, Combat Brotherhood, disguise.
Weaknesses M44.
Large dimensions, which makes our car very visible, and invisibility for artillery is very important. A small one-time damage and a fairly small penetration of landmines. In situations where one powerful shot is needed, this is very distressing. Practical absence of armor, endangers the life of our car. Meeting even the most innocuous firefly can end fatal.
Strengths M44.
Although the gun and has a loss of only 700 units at the 6th level, the M44 is fairly quick and has good accuracy of fire. Good dynamics of the tank, which got from the "Bulldog" often helps with changing positions, and mobile ACS is always a big plus for the team.
Battle tactics on the M44.
The tactics are almost the same as those already familiar with the M41. You shoot, move, and so the whole fight. As before, your goal is not to take the frags, but cause the main damage. Although, very armored targets with a small number of hit points, which solo keep the flank and offend your allies with impunity, deserve to be destroyed. The only innovation is that you need to consider the dimensions of your car. The M44 is noticeably larger than the M41, which means that the shelter should be chosen more carefully.
