T23E3 Tank World of Tanks




One of the few premium tanks of medium-sized tanks. Although this could only be said at the time of the appearance of T-59. Now the premium medium is not uncommon. Since it is built on the basis of T23, it is very similar to its ancestor. And the difference in fact is just another type of suspension. On the gameplay, most likely this was influenced by another arrangement of internal modules. Individual torsion suspension is basically installed to increase the usable space.
Let's quickly examine the characteristics:
Cannon:
• One-time average damage - 115/115/185 units.
• Armor penetration is 128/177/38 millimeters.
• Rate of fire - 18.18 rounds per minute.
• Recording time: -2.2 seconds.
• The accuracy spread is 0.36 m.
Reservation:
• Body (forehead / side / feed) - 76/50/38.
• Tower (forehead / side / feed) - 76/63/63.
Other significant characteristics:
• Overview - 380 meters.
• The maximum speed is 56.3 km / h.
• Specific power - 13.88 hp / t.
Recommended equipment.
Immediately put the stabilizer (our pride). Improved ventilation will give us an increase in all characteristics, including increasing driving performance, which is very useful. Optics is a peculiar choice. If you understand why to put it and how to use it, you can significantly increase the combat effectiveness of the machine. What Russian does not like fast shooting. The submitter may seem like a good idea, as it will essentially increase your stunning PDM by another 10%. However, given that this damage is mainly due to the rate of fire of 18 rounds per minute, it turns out that in fact your recharge speed will decrease very slightly. And most likely you just can not realize it. Rarely when it is possible to make a penetration precisely on CD guns.
• Vertical stabilizer.
• Improved ventilation.
• Optics or senders.
Equipment as usual.
• Repair kit.
• First Aid Kit.
• Fire extinguisher or crate box.
Crew.
To the commander, as usual we take a light bulb, and to the crew we improve those characteristics which are more important. Mechanics take a smooth move (pretty, well combined with the stabilizer). The gunner sniper (with our wonderful rate of fire will be very handy). Charging, as an option, you can take intuition (since the penetration is rather weak, switching the type of projectile should be quite often, and if several times it happens without recharging, it will be pretty nice). Radistu radio interception (the native review is quite good, but with the installed optics will be doubly useful). The second skill is not bad for everyone to take repairs, and as a third perk, "Combat Brotherhood."
In the end we get:
• Commander: 6th sense, repair, Battle brotherhood.
• Mechanic driver: smooth running, repair, Combat brotherhood.
• Gunner: sniper, repair, Battle Brotherhood.
• Charging: intuition, repair, Battle brotherhood.
• Radist: radio interception, repair, combat brotherhood.
Weaknesses of T23E3.
Despite the good maximum speed, the tank is rather slow. Fans of driving on his nearest brother T20 will say that the T23E3 does not go at all. And although the T23 reservation for grains is greater than that of the same T20, its security can also be safely added to the minuses.
Five people in a small tank provide excellent crew criticism, and even modules.
But the main weakness is a tool. The penetration in 128mm is really small at the 7th level. For example, the Panther M10 (also a premium level 7 level) breaks through 150 mm, which is much larger. And even when we break through the enemy, we are making real trifles to him.
Strengths T23E3 .
The speed is not very fast, but quite stable, especially not paying attention to the type of soil. Thanks to good vertical alignment angles and high maximum reverse speed, and a good overview, we can very successfully win back in the folds of the terrain, which we confidently attribute to the pluses of the tank. You can not miss the gun. Although we said about its weak penetration and a small one-time loss, it is worth mentioning and good accuracy, excellent rate of fire and monstrous DPM more than 2000 damage per minute. For example, in the same T20 with the stock tool DPM only 1500 units. Also our gun can boast of the fact that it is possible to install a stabilizer, and this is a rarity at the 7th level.
Tactics of combat on T23E3 .
Since the T23E3 is a classic support tank, always start the fight with the 2nd line and help the allies with fire. From time to time, using a good overview, you can shoot and in your own light standing in the bushes. Although the T23 is not the most dynamic tank, it's still a medium. And with a maximum speed of 56 km / h, you can occupy comfortable and advantageous positions faster than enemy tanks. The fight in the middle distance also has its own advantage. Since the breakthrough is quite small, we need to break through, we start much more often. To be afraid of a close distance is also not worth it. Although we have a very weak reservation, it is recommended to rub your opponent's side and play with him in the rocker, not letting just get on you. Fortunately, the silhouette of our tank is quite small, and the speed of the reverse 30 km / h, which is quite a rarity. In any case, note that shooting from far away, the whole fight, you will bring little benefit to the team. And already in the second half of the battle, one should think about the vulnerable flanks of the enemy and help with fire in the enemy's rear.
