I review the Emil I, a tier 8 Swedish heavy tank in World of Tanks (WoT), with replays of tier 10 Westfield and tier 9 Cliff battles.

The Emil 1 is the first of three Swedish heavy autoloaders that feature turrets with excellent frontal protection and amazing gun depression. The Emil I is rough around the edges but the Emil II is a meaningful upgrade at-tier in terms of penetration and frontal turret protection.

Strengths and Weaknesses
+ Amazing max gun depression (-12)
+ Strong frontal turret protection (245mm effective)
+ Small profile for a heavy
+ Frontal hull armor is decent (~195mm effective)
- Relatively low silver AP pen (217)
- Poor gun handling
- Long intra-clip reload of 3 seconds, although the frontal turret protection mitigates this
- Side turret armor is thin (35mm)
- Pitiful side hull armor (20mm) is overmatched easily

Recommended Equipment
1. VStab
2. Vents
3. Gun Laying Drive

This video is part of my "Road to Unicum" series in which I share what I learned as I progressed towards account Unicum rating (top 1%) with silver ammo only. I talk through how I'm reading the battle as it unfolds and discuss key decisions and mistakes. My hope is that these videos meaningfully help players improve their gameplay.
