Fixer

## General Information

The **Fixer** is a tier VIII Hybrid Nation medium tank. It appears to be based on the **T26E4 SuperPershing**. It is the second tank available in Season 1: Retrotopia. Similar to the **Magnate** and unlike the **Regressor**, you do not need to spend money to obtain the tank.

* Incredibly quick track repair time.

### **Cons**

* Very bad stock DPM (1391).
* Normal ammo pen isn't the best, but isn't the worst either.

### Strategy

#### As the Fixer

The Fixer is a heavium tank, so it plays a bit like a heavy, but on the medium flank.

The Fixer's armor and gun are comparable to those of a heavy tank, however it shouldn't be used on the heavy side of the battlefield because most heavy tanks will outtrade and out damage your tank as well as penetrate your tank more because they have a greater penetration rate than medium tanks.

As there are more enemies there who will find it difficult to pierce your armor, you should move the Fixer to the medium side of the battlefield where its armor and alpha offer a clear advantage for the tank.

In all other respects, it just plays like a typical heavium, fairly aggressive, using gun depression, ramming foes, coordinating pushes, etc.

#### Against the Fixer

The Fixer is very similar to the T26E4 Super Pershing, therefore it has certain features in common with the T26E4 but also some disparities.

This tank has very good frontal armor, so even 265mm APCR is unable to penetrate the upper plate when fired at a straight angle. It is incredibly sturdy and is covered with x2 20mm spaced plates, so even high penetrating HEAT shells won't be able to pass through.

On the lower plate, aim in the center. Some bulges on the lower plate's margins count as spaced pieces of armor. They may actually catch your shot and prevent penetration since they are mounted on an angle. It's preferable to avoid taking the chance if you don't have to, even though your shot may still occasionally penetrate if it hits there.

There is a weakness right in the middle of the Fixer's gun mantlet. The majority of AP and APCR from tier 7-9 opponents may pierce this area because it is only 200mm thick.

Though the armor is flat and closely spaced, it is still made up of three layers, so it is still better to avoid aiming HEAT at this region because a penetration won't be as reliable.

The highlight for this weak area cannot be seen well in-game, so you may encounter some trouble finding it. Alternately, you can use the wotarmorinspector armor thickness filter. It makes the layered, spaced armor the easier to see.

The Fixer is based on the T26E4 SuperPershing. Unlike the other Season 1 tanks, very little is actually known of the Fixer, as the only canon information is that it's built for performance in factories.

## Trivia

* The Fixer is the only other tank that can be obtained for free from Season 1, the other being the Magnate
* The Fixer interestingly is absent from pretty much every video
