ASU-85
Is there anything apealing with this tank? I have to say that this is one of the most un-fun tanks I've used. I under stand the gameplay style of TDs like this and I like those ugly things, but this is awefull. Terrible paper armor that is killed by MGs, ♥♥♥♥ mobility that make its whole life depressing and those stupid big red lights make it hard to not see when using bushes. Its rounds are ok IF you are able to stand grinding it to HEATFS. Why...........

The 85 is afaik looking pretty decent mobility wise when I fight them, but its kinda playing a fatter jpz 4-5 with APHE

Note that i do not have the asu 85, but i suppose you can guess how it is played. Armor is not that great on the tank, effective armor only reaches about 77mm of armor, it does not weigh alot either and does not have that much horsepower, but has decent speed. The tank is kindoff small, and would be perfect for ambushes and if it can really go to about 45km/h you could also flank with it, id say use it kindoff the same as the ASU-57

Not in anysense for the mobility. It cannot move like that in anyway. sure its height is small but its terrible at moving for good ambushes. The drive speed is ok but other than that, nowhere as fun as the 57.

The shells it has seem nice, maybe its good to just drive foreward, sit in a bush and then just sit there for a while and just cover flanks?

It could be played that way, but its not rewarding in anysense and depends on who your facing. Honestly, you'd have to play this thing for your self to try and find a good use to it. It's hard to like and hard to play. gona get some get gud scrub for that last line but its true.

Well id say get the object 906 asap then, nice tank for its br and i have seen crazy ♥♥♥♥ involving it, including a flank trough the water that took over 10 minutes.

It has horrible zoom level so you cant really snipe with it and too poor mobility to fight in close range. Basicly trash.
