I review the Object 430U, a tier 10 Russian medium tank in World of Tanks (WoT), with replays of Ruinberg and Paris battles.

The 430U has the most obnoxious hull armor of any tech tree medium and it has excellent camo, so it's equally comfortable when brawling or playing the vision game. The gun handling is poor relative to its peers, so that does limit its ability to engage at range.

Strengths and Weaknesses
+ Superb turret protection
+ Superb upper frontal hull armor (~270mm effective)
+ Superb camouflage (~35 with Camo + BIA skills)
+ Excellent alpha (440)
+ Side hull armor is thick (90mm) and the upper part is angled, very bouncey when sidescraping
+ Good HP (2000)
+ Low profile
+ High caliber gun (122mm) overmatches 40mm armor
- Very poor gun depression (-5)
- Very poor accuracy (0.40 base)
- Long aim time (2.3 base)
- Low top speed (50)
- Mediocre DPM
- Poor acceleration, lower than some heavies (e.g. Obj 277)

Recommended Equipment
1. Optics
2. Vstab
3. Rammer

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.
