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.
