T95E6

The T95E6 is an American Tier X Heavy Tank that is not available on the tech tree.

Instead, it is a collector tank that is on sale on the shop occasionally for money, gold or crates.

It has the status of a heavy tank, but in fact , it is more of a heavium (heavy tank + medium tank) due it's high mobility for a heavy and somewhat lacking armor. However, it is still fine to go along with the team's heavy tanks and provide support and cover for the slower heavy tanks. It is advised to go to the 2nd line and use the speed to rush if needed.

T95E6 has an extremely sloped turret, making it almost impenetrable to every shell, but it has one major drawback, which is enormous commander cupola.

This cupola is a biggest weak spot of this tank and reduces the effectiveness of the turret in hulldown conditions to great extent. But fear not, wiggling the turret and making use of its speed to evade will make shots to the cupola hard. Still, it can block and bounce shots efficiently especially when unaimed.

Traverse speed of the hull is unable to compete with medium tanks, but the fast turret traverse can make circling around slower tank a viable option too.

Unlike the T-22 medium, which is a collector tank top, the T95E6 somehow features a high credit coefficient as compared to other Tier X tanks, allowing profitable gameplay even when using premium ammo to aid its already good penetration value.

## Tactics

Pros:

Awesome turret armor

Good gun handling and penetration

Quite fast for a heavy and has good acceleration

Sloped hull can bounce shots too

High credit coefficient, good Tier X tank to grind credits in.

10° gun depression allows comfortable gameplay in hilly terrain

Despite large cupola, it can still bounce many shots due to its round shape.

Cons:

Enormous cupola size makes hulldown almost useless

DPM is average with standard reload time and alpha (damage)

Hull turning speed is slow, making sharp turns hard

As compared to another premium Tier X tank Chieftain Mk6, T95E6 falls short in almost every other aspect apart from size (T95E6 is quite slim)

### Strategy:

Sniping is a decent choice for the early part of the game (your gun is quite accurate), but it will garner alot of hate from your team heavies, so go to heavy lane and snipe if possible.

Do not go to front line too early as your armor is not really thick, save your hp for early game and provide timely cover fire for your team's heavies.

If your team's heavies are losing, it is viable to become the frontline and tank some shots ( your hp is the hp of a heavy) and maybe bounce some too.

Rush only when you have the backing of some teammates as your dpm is bad, unless enemy is low hp already.

Facehugging is a good way to challenge other tanks (especially high profile heavy tanks) as T95E6 has quite a low hull and other tanks may struggle to depress their gun low enough to aim your hull, and their only other option is to shoot your cupola. To make things worse for the enemy, wiggling your turret will make penetrating shots to your Cupola even harder, sometimes bouncing all shots.

Going to medium lane is also a good choice depending on the team's formation.

### Counter to T95E6:

Any tank with high dpm will take down T95E6 quite easily, provided all shots penetrate.

Aimed shots to the Cupola will yield damage most of the time, especially on a stationary T95E6

T95E6 has a rather low hp pool as compared to other heavy tanks (2.3k), so focus fire will take it down quickly.

The T95E6 has no gun depression when aiming backwards, so circling it when in faster medium tanks will be troublesome for the enemy player, making use of its weakness of slow turret trasverse.

Ramming in the T95E6 when playing in heavy tanks will also do some decent damage as it is quite light for a heavy tank, do not get fooled by its 'heavy' status as it resembles more of a medium.

## Trivia

The T95E6 is a decent tank that is quite versatile as a whole (able to snipe, support, rush, block dmg), and there is no specific playstyle like other tanks. Hence it is quite easy to play but doesn't have as much potential as compared to its stronger counterpart (I'm talking to you Chieftain Mk6)

One of the more balanced tanks Wargaming has introduced into the game that doesn't powercreep other tanks, mostly for a leisure tank in my opinion.
