I must say the mech camo of this tank is a MUST HAVE as it gives advantage over not having camo. Those sideboxes actually visually cover the cheek weak spots of this tank making it good at confusing opponents minimizing the chance they shoot at your cheeks.
@@4EBYGREK pay to win comments always amuse me. I like to buy premium and collector tanks, not to win, but to enjoy the variety and earn credits at the same time. My day of 30 battles will consist of 10-12 different tanks used.
I wish I could agree. Logically this makes sense, but my 252U is more consistently blocking stuff for me. Every time I try to use the 57's gun depression, I just get pushed on, and trying to hide the lower plate like a 252U still somehow leaves weak spots that can be exploited. Perhaps I'm playing it too aggro and trusting the armor too much. =/ Even with 1746 average damage in the tank, I'm sitting at just 47%, while my 252U is sitting at 1745 with 64% wr. Overall, it's nice, but more of a support tank imo. If your team doesn't punish people who push you or you get too aggro, you end up not being able to hold out and die pretty quick. (Open to tips from those of you who are doing much better.)
If you don't trust your teams then be the one to use them as the meat shields rather than the opposite. Play less aggressive and let others taks damage for you then proceed to use your hp when you need to (don't let someone die when you're at full hp for example or you can take the shot).
@@harismix1387 Yeah, probably the best practice. Still, my mindset is that heavies should generally meatshield/take frontline to play the role properly. No point in having armor and low dpm unless you can use it. But also no point if it isn't usually usable in that way anyways, or with most modern teams. =/
For me I prefer the Skoda or a 252U because while this tank is pretty strong I just find it's armor profile way to Inconsistent and I hate that your lower plate is impossible to angle because people can shoot the sides of it if you angle it
I wouldn’t go so far as to say that the armor on this tank is better, the front hull may be in most places but you still have that drivers hatch that is an easy pen, your side armor is weaker behind the tracks and the black hole area isn’t as big. And you only have about 40mm of rear armor, whereas with the 252U you will occasionally get bounces on the rear
Its definitely an interesting tank the most flexible heavy For me idk about pther people but if your looking for a heavy with armor obj is your choice for alpha damage pick skoda for medium speed and always hulldown playstyle pick 53tp and for weeb tankers pick chi se And for dpm pick tiger 2 shark is also a good pick very Flexible but lacks alpha emil.1 if you want a clipper style play :)
Definitely a Strong tank, especially hull down! However, on flat ground, the Type 57 doesn't perform amazingly compared to other heavies. But since most maps are hulldown, the Type 57 is a beast to consider!
You can butter straight through the turret cheeks with standard shells from any t8 heavy. The 53tp was and still is my favourite t8 heavy. Who needs a strong upper plate when you have no turret armour.
I can confirm after playing a few round: Reticle Calibration comes in REALLY clutch! If you take Reticle Cally with Chimera, then you NEED to with Type 57! Sometimes I will even forget I have reticle cally on my Chimera, 90% of my snap shots hit even when the aiming circle is blown out. Type 57 can't hit the broadside of a Yamato from the inside while moving. Reticle Cally, it just makes ALL the difference, especially when hull down hatch sniping!
Droodles logic: Type57 in 12500 gold. Probably the strongest tier8 in the game. But, it's too expensive! T77 in 17500 gold. Excellent price, man! Don't even complain about it. You should thank to WG not give you crates. Me: WTF????!!!!!!
What do I think about it? Watch my replay on MeatLocker channel. Got it on the first day, on the first crate, and got a raisienai mastery on the first game lol. I kinda love it.
Tbh Mech camo on this thing, although I’m usually against something too busy it break an illusion of the tank. I do like this one, cuz I’m like Gundam so I cant deny that this is a bad camo. It looked busy but it doesn’t bothers me as much, unlike 4005 or Vandal camo. Is the tank good? Yes. Does it reliable? Yes. The good armor is not about much much Red you can use. It’s how unpredictable they are. Red armor will just making enemies hold your fire while unpredictable armor will makes everyone tries to test their luck on it. Which makes them vulnerable for your team to attack without taking hits.
2:45 I own the Type 57 for a little bit now and haven't played it - and I also killed one with my Lowe using standard ammo in about 3 shots all penned, that turret cheek? REALLY easy to pen for Lowe! I am going to run enhanced armor for my first few games when I do get around to playing it. I haven't played it just yet cause I am REALLY enjoying my Skoda T-27, Bourrasque, Chimera, Emil 1951, Lansen C, T34 and Lowe - I will play IS6 more soon, but I did well in the couple games I have played. I'm just tired of Derpy guns, I played my WZ-112-2 for a mission like 30 times, and the armor rarely worked well, also the gun NEVER hits when I need it to, even fully aimed shots. Yeah T34 has bad movement dispersion, but GOOD accuracy - and 248 AP pen with 10 degrees of depression and an almost impenetrable turret front. Lowe is similar, but much more accurate on any movement, less strong turret but much stronger upper and side hull also higher DPM. I got all these tanks CHEAP from deals, most of them in pairs (I own it cause I got it with the Bourrasque for 5000 more than Bourrasque alone with no camo or equipment)
I got Lowe, T34, and IS6 for 7500 gold all together with all equipment unlocked, no camos though, but that is no issue now that I have a ton of REALLY nice camos!
Bought it. Love it. So strong. But the gun sometimes makes me crazy. Lol I drive this tank around with HE on the 🧠 brain. Lol, feels so nice, I even got to HE a Draculas ass last night for 683! So satisfying.
Definitely not a good tank for it's price. Just get a 252U, it's much cheaper and better. You CANNOT angle this tank because the entire lower hull becomes weaker than paper mache and the boat shaped thing on the upper hull also becomes a weakspot. The gun does 10 more alpha than the former, has basically even handling, less penetration and has a longer reload. Not to mention that the 252U has the best camouflage in its class meaning that you will occasionally go unspotted when going into position, unlike this tank. The ONLY advantage of this tank is the legendary camo covering the "cheek" weakspots and the gun depression. 100% not the strongest tier 8 heavy by a longshot, it's simply a balanced one. I'd go so far as to say the T32 is more consistent with its frontal armor. Lol.
@@harismix1387 its not weak if you cannot pen without gold... With gopd you can pen but again what is the use of gold if you cannot pen with gold... ..so it is strong ... Without gold you cannot pen.... Gold amo is there for a reason... For shooting strong aemour like turret or front plate

Obj 252u's advantage over this tank is the obj has those black hole sideskirts. But type has better gun dep.
This wanna be 252U is no where close to the do-it-all task as claimed in this video.
Not worth the price considering 53TP is free. I hope we get a better price at the auction.
