I'm not a medium tank driver generally. At least except for the hybrids like the Iron Arnie and Super Pershing. I find the 274a to to be easy to use. Bouncy turret, decent speed, solid gun handling, alright alpha and great dpm.
For some reason this tank works better for me than LIS. Better dpm, pen, and more reliable armor, only thing it lacks for me it's HP and gun depression, more pen kinda compensates for worse gun handling
The tank looks interesting but the combination of poor gundepression and gunhandling, combined with questinable armor and mediocre mobility really make this a tank to pass. Also ground resistances are so horrible that its actualy faster with grousers than with turbo.
the 274 has decent turret armor and good ammo pen. But one thing that puts me off from playing it, is the 1200health for how slow it is for the role of a heavium.
Yeah it's not fun to play at all, oh well I got it 'cheap' as a trade-in. It has the same horrendous soft stats as the 122TM, but lacks all of that ones magic. The purported armor is a big, fat lie because of the crappy gun depression. Hull is super soft cheese.
This tank isn't all that bad, I usually enjoy playing it quite a bit. I think it has an advantage in the armor category because not many people play it, so most people don't expect the slightly trollish armor. The gun is decent, and it's pretty fast compared to most Soviet mediums. I like it, but maybe it just matches my playstyle better - I'm a noob next to Daki lol.
Call it what it is: balanced. Solid armor, good alpha, good pen, lots of ammo, but poor mobility, gun handling, and health. Average camo, view range, elevation/depression, and shell velocity. WG did a good job with it. When Daki says it’s bad, he is wrong. Compared to the best, it looks bad, but compared to the worst it looks good. If you like heaviums, you’ll like the 274a and that’s reason enough to get it.
It's not a terrible tank but certainly mediocre in today's meta. High pen is still lovely but the alpha isnt anything special. It feels sort of like a T8 430u, just worse in lots of ways.
OH Sure.... Don't Buy This.. Your 12 hours too late LOL Oh well maybe the Ninja Turtles crew will help it out ? :) Thanks Video !! & Merry Christmas n A Happy New Year ! PS. Still waiting for your GSOR The Tank Review :)
This thing would need 300-310 pen and it would transform from being boring and bland to being interesting und and unique. I realize buffing pen is always a bit dangerous but I don't think it would hurt at this point. Then again other tanks need the love much more
@@jeremyzabel2923Fr. 300+ pen on a tier is ridiculous without significant drawbacks everywhere else. The 274a has a lot going for it, some average parts and some major flaws, but overall it is nicely balanced. If you want 300+ pen play a TD or the obj 416.
@@Noner1234 I do play 416 a lot and it's excellent, crazy underrated as well. 274 does have quite a few drawbacks imo, but not enough upsides to give me a reason why I would ever play it. The way it is balanced rn it's just boring and overshadowed by almost any other T8 med. Around 300 pen would make it an actual counter to tanks like BZ, Nergal, XM, ... whereas now it's just the weird med that has DPM and turret armour. As I said, not everything has to be meta, but I don't think it would hurt either.
@@Noner1234 it's kinda funny you brought up 416 actually because it's turret rotation and gun depression are literally the only downsides that tank has xD Class leading camo, crazy Dpm and pen, decent gun stabilization, great platform (tiny), decent speed and VR, and a bit of armour even. Amazing tank.
This tank is almost amazing. All it needs is like... 8 equipment slots.
bwahahahahaha this is so accurate
essentials on this tank:
turbo
grousers
vert stabs
rotation device
gun rammer
vents
hardening
this tank only needs 7 equipment slots to be usable :)
@SoloWingGutman you forgot Improved Aiming Unit for the mediocre accuracy :P
For some reason this thing gets less HP than a fucking Bourrasque lmao
0:50 it's a Hevium from Temu :P

The gun handling on this tank is terrible
no the gun handling is garbage, vert stabs feels mandatory.

Happy Holidays Daki.
Happy holidays!
What a timing, just ammo racked one from full hp in my tnh vz 51 😂
release Karlis from basement
no

Great Alpine joke, well played, Daki!

It's quite good but with derpy gun. But nice penetration and quite OK armor.
Fascinating that skill likes this tank a lot and Daki dislikes it greatly.
22-30-4 ammo layout so cursed
20-32-4 or 24-28-4 please :)
This tank is perfect for hating yourself for about 90% of the battle, for not playing the LIS instead 😂
This tank is rewarding but you miss the turbo, or miss the extra gun control, the extra hp,..

With this tank you need grousers not turbo.
Big maps with medium/soft terrain: grousers, turbo, hardening/optics.
Small/hard terrain maps: rammer, vert stabs, hardening.
@@Noner1234stab is essential always on 274a
daki, this isn't april fools. lol
May everyone receive enemies like the at15 for Christmas
I hate this tank with a passion.

the horrible gun bloom from the turret ruined everything good about this tank
Hey dpm AND pen ok, it's great!
bought it back then, it was good. Today? Outbalanced by others doing everything better. Either buff this, or rather, nerf the others..
Just get the CS-52 LIS instead
Merry Xmas boss. Thanks again for another year of content. All the best!
Same to you!
love you content

If 289 doesn't work for you on a t8 medium, you have other problems
