Object 248

[Speed Shitter]

Hey guys, I was thinking about picking up the object 248, IDC about grinding I just want to know if it's fun for it's BR

Not a single vehicle in the game is worth full price let alone the £70+ the Obj 248 is going for imo.

List of its pros and cons from the WT wiki. See if you think its worth dropping that much money on a single vehicle.. It's your money do as you see fit but imo you could easily wait for a sale and get a entire lineup for that much instead of a single vehicle.

Pros:
Rounded frontal hull and turret can sometimes bounce shells
All-round protection, very useful against SPAA like Ostwind II
Relatively low and small for a heavy tank
Fast reverse speed of -16 km/h allows it to pull back into safety quickly
The 100 mm cannon has lethal penetration & damage: it can frontally penetrate & knock out hard targets like M4A3E2, Jagdpanther, Tiger II, etc.
The 100 mm cannon has a rapid reload (~10 seconds), boosting its firepower exponentially
Adequate acceleration & speed on paved road, can keep up with some medium tanks (e.g. Panther) to provide much-needed heavy fire

Cons:
Weak frontal armour: lower front plate and gun mantlet can be easily penetrated by common foes like M4A3 (76), Chi-Ri, Tiger II, etc.
Closely sat crew of 4 are very likely to be taken out with a single shot
Sluggish acceleration in loose muddy terrain, heavily reducing mobility
Poor gun depression (-3°), limiting its capacity in mountaineous terrains
Turret rotation of ~10°/s is quite slow, can be fatal when reacting to flankers like M18 and M41#

I mean if you got 80 bucks to blow do it, ive definitely spent 80$ on worst things but I do agree with legion to wait for a sale.

Would the T-34-100 and the T-44-122 pair well with this vehicle? I know they are 6.3 BR while the Object 248 is 6.7, but I already own those two vehicles and I wanted to pair them with this

[Lucky_Star_Fan]

I would recommend the T-34-100 over the 248. Same gun, better mobility, better BR and neither has good armor honestly. 6.3 Soviet is a better lineup than 6.7 in most ways too, especially overall matchmaking.

You can't buy skill no matter how good the vehicle might appear.

I already own the T-34-100. Was looking to get the 248 because of how much I like the T-34-100. Does the T-34-100 do well in a lineup alongside the 248?

You're right, but skill isn't an issue, simply interested in the tank.

Well there's the rub. This vehicle might not be worth $5 to one person but $100 to another.
I don't have a dog in this fight. But I won't tell the people who think it is worth it I know more then they do.

I don't think so. Mixing BRs like that isn't really beneficial. If you get the 248 you'll want to play 6.7 tanks alongside it.

this is what happens when I drink. I get into threads I have no business in and people don't simply say "get out of here Mogami"
drunk Mogami knows everything sober Mogami is very shy and then everyone thinks drunk Mogami is Mogami
This is why my friends don't dump me as friends
