decent but I think the T54E2 Shark now dominates it since WG released a bunch of hull down prems.

Well i mean hulldown and brawling are different playstyles. A 252u would probably beat a shark on flat ground but a shark woukd destroy it on a hill

I wanted the obj 252 but I recently started playing my is5 and I forgot how horrible and unreliable the gun can be. The obj has a similar gun so I have no need for it anymore. Yes the obj has great armor and a solid brawler, but I'd much prefer a more versatile tank like my amx m4 49. I'd pick a heavy with gun depression and accuracy over the obj any day.

Honestly, I don't think a Obj 252u can beat a shark on flat ground due to the reason that a T54E2 has a higher DPM gun and more HP by 50 (which won't really be a huge difference in some circumstances) If both of the tanks were to go hull down it would be a severely different story because both of them have really strong turrets for hull down positions. Obj 252u would be a deadly foe in a side scraping position as its frontal turret armor is still really strong and it would almost be impervious to all enemy fire besides a ISU-152 or a Tier 9 TD loading a premium shell. Overall, I would say both of them are good in some circumstances compared to the other.
