T57 Heavy Tank Tank Analyzer





Pros Cons
  • Has an autoloader with burst damage averaging 1,600 HP in 8 seconds
  • Acceptable aim time
  • Surprisingly quick magazine reload
  • Only 2 seconds needed between each shot
  • Turret armor can bounce occasionally
  • Decent traverse speed for a heavy tank
  • Above average accuracy
  • Great DPM
  • Incredibly weak side and rear armor
  • Lower glacis plate and turret ring are both easy to penetrate
  • The armor around the gun is extremely weak and can easily be penetrated by tier 8 and above
  • Shots to side damage ammo rack
  • Mediocre speed limit and maneuverability

With all the right crew skills, modules and consumables, your T57 will reload the clip in about 22 seconds, which is quite impressive. The time to load between the 4 rounds held in the clip is a mere 2 seconds. The armor, while it is not stellar, is still capable and will bounce if you angle well - something that this tank seems to do a good job of. The 120mm T179 gun is exclusive to the T57 and is slightly different from the 120mm M58 gun in the M103 and T110E5. It has same damage and penetration values, same accuracy but longer aim time. Though aim time is only slightly longer than reload - which can be overcome with crew skills, equipment or consumables. This tank has an excellent gun depression; especially its russian counterparts without autoloader suffer from less. So, hull down is your friend.

If in good company, you can certainly deal CQB hurt from behind another tank, flinging rounds then pulling back briefly to reload. Many players will overestimate the time it takes you to reload, often to their dismay when they poke around a corner at you. The T57 is an excellent TD killer - first shot into the tracks, circle them, then empty the remaining three rounds into their thin side and say goodbye. This tactic works well for the lone poker that comes at you - track him, bounce his shot and then put three killer holes into his weak spots using the great penetration of yours, all before he can reload. It is also an effective finisher, where you have two lines going toe-to-toe, you can range up on the enemy flank and dash through, one-shotting four low health tanks in quick succession and turning the tide in your sides favor. And, with the 400m view range and an accurate gun, you are a good spam-sniper.

If you manage to get yourself into the right positions in the battle, react appropriately and most importantly survive and don't attract too much attention, it is not unusual to dish out 5000, 6000 or more damage in a game.

The native camo values for this tank appear to be better than you would expect. With a crew on 100% camouflage, this tank melts away quickly into cover and holds that cover well. The turret is quite strong on the front and the sides are decently armored.
