How to Play the Škoda T 56
FIREPOWER | SURVIVABILITY | MOBILITY | EQUIPMENT | CREW SKILLS
The
VIII
Škoda T 56
stands out with an incredible gun for its tier, while the combination of formidable firepower and plucky survivability puts you in a commanding position in any combat situation. But now is not the time to be too gung-ho! Here's a brief guide to set you up before you get too deep into fierce confrontations.
Firepower
The Škoda T 56's pièce de résistance is its explosive firepower. It boasts a remarkable 130 mm caliber 2-shell autoloader capable of inflicting 460 damage. The rapid reload time between shots means it can cause 920 HP of damage in under 4 seconds! Take large chunks out of opponents, or inflict the final blow to anyone unlucky enough to run into you in a battle's latter stages.
Pack special AP shells to penetrate 248 mm. Just make sure to time your shell reloads well to avoid being stranded with your tracks down. If diving into the heat of battle isn't your thing, use the handy –8 degrees of gun depression to pick apart enemies from ridge lines farther away and start gaining the upper hand for your team.
Survivability
A typical heavy tank, the Škoda T 56 has enough shielding to hold some of the most ferocious attacks at bay. The upper armor will be your biggest asset. The thickness of the frontal turret armor reaches 220 mm, with a durability of 1,500 HP. It's not enough to repel multiple attackers, but it should stand you in good stead in one-on-one situations.
Mobility
This tank's gruff 650 h.p. engine is enough to secure a top speed of 35 km/h and 15 km/h reverse speed. Unfortunately, the rest of its mobility stats are a bit more modest. Choose your map positions wisely. What use is such a magnificent gun if you're going to get kicked out straight away?
A view range of 370 meters and a signal range of 850 meters is nothing to brag about. Instead, it's best to rely on annihilating enemies with your fiery autoloader as soon as you've tasted blood and are within range.
Equipment

Adding a Turbocharger will improve the power-to-weight ratio and boost your top speed. That will enable you to reach positions in which you can put your heavy armor and firepower to good use.
The Improved Rotation Mechanism reduces dispersion during vehicle movement and traverse, as well as during turret rotation. It ultimately improves the hull and turret traverse speed.
