Hydrostat: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

By RivaL's Unknown0ne

The Good

  • ~1600 damage per minute
  • High HP for a medium tank
  • Decent accuracy
  • Good speed and maneuverability
  • Never encounters tier VII tanks

The Bad

  • Armor is ineffective against most opponents
  • 330m view range, very low for a medium tank

The Ugly

  • Its model hasn't been updated to HD

Reasons to Buy

  • Well-rounded medium tank
  • You'll never see tier VII in this tier V tank
  • Trains German medium tank Crews

Reasons Not to Buy

  • You’re looking for a heavy tank (try the Churchill III)
  • You want a higher tier premium tank (try the FCM 50 t or IS-6)

Play Style

The Pz.Kpfw. IV hydrostat is a well-rounded medium tank, with speed to get to advantageous positions and good damage per minute to hold them. Alternatively, its decent accuracy allows it to provide effective support from afar.

Loadout

In any role, optimizing this tank’s aim time and rate of fire increases your effective damage output. For front line brawling specifically, minimize critical damage and improve maneuverability to increase your odds of success.

Equipment
 

To help offset the low view range, swap Improved Ventilation with Coated Optics.
Consumables

If you want to focus on maximizing damage per minute, swap any of the above with Chocolate.
Crew Skills & Perks

"Snap Shot", "Smooth Ride", and "Brothers in Arms" help maximize your effective damage output at any range. For front line brawling, "Repairs" minimize downtime due to critical damage and "Clutch Braking" boosts your maneuverability. Additionally, “Sixth Sense” is always nice to have.

 

Ram II: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

The Good

  • Great damage per minute allows the Ram II to play an important role in eliminating the enemy
  • High maximum HP keeps you in the fight longer 
  • Decent armor allows you to get up in your enemy's face

The Bad

  • Its low top speed makes flanking more difficult, and sometimes makes you late for the party
  • Low view range leads to more reliance on your teammates to spot enemy vehicles

The Ugly

  • Its gun can be inaccurate and weak when firing at a distance

Reasons to Buy

  • The perfect first Premium tank for newbies! 
  • It's great for training your American medium tank Crews
  • It makes a solid amount of Credits from battle

Reasons Not to Buy

  • You prefer a quicker medium tank (pick up a T-25)
  • You prefer a heavy tank (get a Churchill III or T34)

Loadout

These are only suggestions! Feel free to see what works best for you.
Equipment
