Skill4ltu evaluation:

Tourist trap tank.
This tank is created to oversidescrap and bait people to shoot to your side.
You need to play with it aggressively in heavy line.
It has good gun even though stats suggest otherwise, but gun depression is low.
Be aware that experienced players know how to penetrate it.
