If you've played through the 53TP Markowskiego, get ready for a major change in terms of play style. Now it plays like a true heavy tank instead of a heavy-medium hybrid. At the same time, it keeps other characteristics from the previous Polish vehicles, such as the rounded and bouncy turret. Let's take a closer look, shall we?
Gameplay
This Tier IX heavy tank steps up its game when it comes to armour thickness, and while it's no fortress, it will definitely help you survive longer in the game. Apart from the usually weak lower frontal plate, the driver's port is the second-easiest spot to penetrate. Try to angle your tank slightly to increase the slope while not showing the side. Unlike with the previous tanks, careful side-scraping may work to a certain extent as well, so keep that option in mind if the situation requires it.
The 53TP Markowskiego's gun is already pretty strong, but this tank takes it to the next level. Again, its damage is among the highest of its tier, which allows you to trade shots effectively, even with many Tier X tanks. The accuracy and aiming time are not as great as a result, but can be balanced out with the proper equipment and crew skills (see below). Just focus on engaging in close combat if possible, where the accuracy doesn't matter as much.
Equipment

The most important aspect of the 50TP Tyszkiewicza is its gun, hence it makes sense that all the pieces of equipment above are meant to improve it. With a better reload time, aiming time, as well as lower dispersion penalty, you will make sure that your gun is in its best state possible.
