I review the Somua SM, a tier 8 French premium heavy tank in World of Tanks (WoT), with replays of tier 10 Mannerheim Line and El Halluf battles.

The Somua SM is "worth it" in terms of purchasing, as it is an enjoyable and effective tank to play. It features a 5-shell autoloader and functional armor.

Strengths and Weaknesses
+ Superb gun depression (-10)
+ Excellent silver penetration (232)
+ Excellent intra-clip reload (2.25s)
+ Good upper hull armor (~210mm)
+ Good side hull armor (90mm) allows for hull angling to increase the upper hull to ~225mm effective
- Low top speed (37km/h)
- Sluggish acceleration
- Somewhat poor accuracy (0.4 base)
- Below average HP (1450)

Recommended Equipment
1. VStab
2. Vents
3. GLD

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.
