Tank T18 guide World of Tanks


Overview video guide T18 tank World of Tanks

Among the American range has a considerable number of the most popular and legendary fighting vehicles. Many of them are in the top branches of the whole, most are somewhere in seredke development, but there is another legendary tank, which is currently considered to be the god of the sandbox, this is T18.
T18 is on the second level of American PT-ACS . He did not quite remarkable, but terribly powerful, allowing him to break into the lead than malkourovnevyh tanks. This war machine is very popular among the military vehicles and similar is recommended for early familiarization, otherwise you may not have time to learn and enjoy it. The reason such a hurry that the developers have already noticed it and plan to nerf it, that is very sad and inevitable. But let's not talk about sad things. Let's look at it closer.

A little about the technology

In fact, if you refer to historical facts, this combat unit belongs to the class of ACS , which has a specific functional shooting enemy direct fire. But in order not to confuse the players, the developers moved the car to a suitable class, PT-ACS . The implementation of virtual tank incorporates all of the most powerful aspects of this technique and a little diminished its negative sides, which eventually issued this nagibatorov machine, which is able to destroy everything around you. It has all the features of this war machine, but also has some negative aspects, which will be discussed further.

Positive and negative sides

Analyzing all the positive and negative aspects sometimes amazed. How is it possible to fight on such a machine, but if you have a direct hand and know the basics of the application of this tank, it is possible to achieve incredible success.
The first step is to look at the benefits of this technique, which is to booking tools and speed. So, after opening all modules of tanks, should pay attention to the fact that the T18 has two best weapons. One rapid-and predtopovoe second and a top killer. It is best to take a top gun, which has the most damage, but on the condition that you will go out to battle strictly downloaded Gold, which will allow to reveal the full potential of the car.
Regarding speed, this moment is just as positive as having the highest rate of weight, this tank can reach incredible performance. The truth is valid only during acceleration, back up quite slow.
Reservation: the forehead - 51 boards - 32 feed - 25. Based on such parameters, the machine is simply impossible to break, to withstand a barrage of enemy fire and allows you to be in the midst of the fighting.
And now is not very pleasant to touch the negative moments in this military equipment, which are in the vertical tip guns, weaknesses and very inconvenient location of the tank modules.

As shown us breaking zone at the T18 tank booked the entire body except for two places in the projection of the tank. This upper part of the frontal armor plate, which has a 14 mm armor and saves it from destruction only a slight slope. And also there is a weakness in the cover of the stern, which also has a 14 mm armor and will not help sustain the napalm fire, especially in the food contains all tank modules, such as the engine, fuel tanks and boeuklad that can be critical for the appearance of the enemy from the stern.
Another negative aspect is the vertical aiming guns. Which is aiming 20 degrees up, but leveling down is just 5 degrees, which is terribly inconvenient, especially fighting in the sandbox constantly require active shooting at the enemy below.

Compare with similar models of the tank

Among all the American PT-ACS T18 is the undisputed leader. Due to its characteristics and combat potential, T18 efficiency is through the roof. Can only be compared with him Soviet AT-1 , which is due to their armor gives our American representative. For other machines, such as German I of Panzerjäger , French Renault FT AC and British Universal Carrier 2-pdr do not have even the slightest chance against T18. Therefore, their place of performance is located at the bottom.

Recommended equipment and modules

But in terms of additional equipment and skills, T18 tank is not very different from other tanks of similar class. For example, in cell equipment should be placed a small repair kit, a small first aid kit and automatic fire extinguisher. T18 is very compact, so any penetration can hurt the engine of the tank, causing a fire, and at low levels of this deadly phenomenon.

Regarding the additional modules, then there should be mounted telescope (required as a combat unit has a weak indicator of the review), reinforced drive pickup (also required, as a fighting machine has long mix) and improved ventilation.
As for the crew, it is all according to the class standard, that is, the first column should occupy masking and light, the second column should be given to repair, the third column to dedicate the missing camouflage skills and maneuverability, but the fourth column should be filled with skill "Combat Brotherhood".

game Tactics

For World of Tanks T18 is a versatile machine that can be said about its historical prototype. The game should be remembered that the game on a small level does not imply a long standing in the bush, it is better to keep moving and actively fighting, otherwise defeat is inevitable. In T18 you will constantly get in the top or middle of the team. case of contact with most bottoms virtually eliminated. So you do not have to fight problems in testing.
For example, if you hit on the open steppe card. It is best to engage in active suppression of the enemy, that is to go to the assault, along with others, it will inflict enormous damage on the enemy team, and bring you closer to victory. If the map of the city, it is best here to occupy defensive positions on the most active flanks, which are subject to an enemy assault. This will keep the enemy and allow your allies to attack the other side. If you are in a situation when left completely alone, there it is recommended to use the standard for the PT-ACS tactics of stealth, which is defensive in nature. Taking into account all these nuances to win, you'll be much more likely than when you play at random.
