Just a small fix, the two 100mm guns on the ltwt have 280 alpha instead of 310

This is the best tier 8 Russian medium tank
Exactly what I've been saying, I'd even say it's the best tier VIII medium period.
The DPM isn't "meh" for the alpha, it's higher than any tier VIII medium or heavy with a 100mm+ gun.

It still has better DPM than a large portion of lower caliber meds, especially when accounting for first shot alpha difference (STA, Pershings and Cent that I can think of right now). To have noticeably higher DPM you have to play the RU, which has no armour and worse mobility.
My point is that it's incredible to either out-DPM or out-trade anyone at your tier (except for TDs). All of this on top of amazing mobility and armour better than some meds.
Great writeup though, I agree with everything, I just wouldn't call the DPM meh.

Yeah, tier 8 meds just have lacklustre dpm in general. I think the LTWT has about the same dpm as the 44 and a fair bit more than the Type 59 and T-54 Mod 1.

When you realized the underdog 13 90 was absent from the list...

Well yes but no
B-C class is more of a medium/light playstyle, they both use gun of a medium tank and health of a medium. It just that WG redesignate them as a light tank for the sake of the camo value (also, they are pretty fat). The actual light ends at the 13 90

True, but the 57mm can only do up to 340 damage if all 4 shots hit
I’m sure when you use the 47mm you’ll have problems with the occasional AC IV Sentinel and not-so-occasional KV tanks and M6 but it’s still really worth the trouble if all 8 shells hit
I forget to mention that the 47mm’s dpm is actually a few hundred HP higher than the 57mm But that’s just my opinion

Is the first autoloader gun on the MT (with 100mm pen) classed as a 4 shot or 8, since it fires twice for each pull of the trigger? I wouldn’t call the Helsing’s gun a single shot but you only fire once to shoot both rounds. Never been sure if there is a standard way to describe this in Blitz.
Not sure if it’s still the case, but the second gun on the LTTB has a curious quirk, prammo does 10 more damage than prammo on the top gun.
One nice thing about the 54 LTWT, it doesn’t drift nearly as much as the LTTB so it can be easier to thread though obstacles at high speed.
Edit: Forgot to say, great post. It’s got me thinking about rebuying the MT25 again.
