Guide for 50TP prototyp in WoT: overview, equipment and perks

In update 1.1, a new branch of tanks of the Polish nation was released. The Polish tier 8 premium heavy tank 50TP Prototype was also released with it. This technique has enormous differences from the same-level tanks in terms of firepower, since for 1 shot the Pole is able to take away 440 HP. At the same time, he is also quite armored, which makes him one of the best in earning silver.

Crew training

Before pumping perks from the crew, it is necessary to study the strengths and weaknesses of the tank. Recommended skills that need to be upgraded step by step for the crew:

The 50TP is a heavy well-armored tank with a powerful gun but a long reload time, which will need to be improved first of all with the help of "combat fraternity". You also need to immediately improve the stabilization of the gun in motion due to the perks "Smooth turret turn" and "Smooth move". You can increase the viewing radius with the help of the learned skills of the commander "radio interception" and "eagle eye".

The structure of the Pole is reminiscent of British heavy tanks. The turret is in the middle of the hull, but the long tracks along the perimeter of the entire tank stick out too much in the front. Simply put, when driving around a corner, the tank will first of all drive out with rollers, and this more often leads to their being knocked down. In such situations, a quick repair will help, which also needs to be examined by the entire crew.

Equipment

The Prototype is equipped with the same equipment as all heavy tanks with powerful weapons:

Standard assembly for a heavy tank to increase survivability, shooting comfort and faster reloading.

slot	Equipment	<font><font>Materials</font></font>
1	Improved hardening	Increases the vehicle's durability, carrying capacity, suspension repair speed, and also reduces the fall damage received by the hull (in the event of a fall on the chassis). It also allows you to fully restore the strength of the chassis after repair. Reduces the chance of the caterpillar "losing" when it takes damage and allows you to stay on the move longer.
3	Vertical stabilizer	Decreasing spread is an important factor, because the smaller the initial spread of the gun, the smaller the circle will begin to converge, which means it will go faster. In addition, an unprepared shot (shot without aiming or on the move) will also be more accurate.
2	Sender	Speeds up reloading of the weapon, thereby increasing damage per minute.

First of all, a large-caliber rammer is placed. Large one-time damage is accompanied by a long reload, so the rammer will always be the main module for this tank. The vertical stabilizer will improve tanking and skirmishing, while hardening will increase the margin of safety and speed up repairs.

You can use an alternative option, which will improve the stabilization of the gun:

1	Improved turning mechanisms	Increases the hull and turret traverse speed for vehicles with a turret, or the gun shift speed for vehicles with a fixed cabin. Reduces the spread of the gun when moving and turning the hull and turret of the vehicle. Works more efficiently with the Virtuoso skill.
3	Vertical stabilizer	Decreasing spread is an important factor, because the smaller the initial spread of the gun, the smaller the circle will begin to converge, which means it will go faster. In addition, an unprepared shot (shot without aiming or on the move) will also be more accurate.
2	Sender	Speeds up reloading of the weapon, thereby increasing damage per minute.

This equipment is more suitable for active gameplay.

Reservation

Booking is one of the main qualities of 50TP. The tank is quite well armored in the turret, but the hull is fragile, so it is best to fight on relief terrain.

As you can see in the image, the thickest armor is in the frontal part of the turret. It is in this place that you can tank enemy shells. The sides of the Pole are as weak as the frontal part of the hull. Only tanks of the 6th level may not penetrate there. Moreover, a vulnerable part is open - the driver's hatch in the center, if it gets into it, the driver will often be injured. However, the frontal part can be covered with large tracks, which are also long for the Pole. Vulnerable places include the roof of the tower with the commander's hatch, but the structure will not allow you to target this very roof of the tower, and the commander's hatch is too small to be regularly damaged.

How to play on 50TP PROTOTYPE

This tank should only be played in lane 1. Not only because it belongs to the heavy class of vehicles, but also because the accuracy of 50TP will not allow you to regularly hit the opponent from medium and long distances. First of all, it is worth highlighting the 122 mm gun, which is capable of inflicting 440 HP. damage per shot. For the 8th level, this is a record figure. But a long cooldown forces it to retreat more than 12 seconds. Of course, a pumped-up crew and installed equipment will improve performance, but not to such an extent that it would be possible to go for a breakthrough in the 1st line. Armor penetration by the base projectile 218 mm. This is enough for firefights at level 8, but against high-level vehicles, you will sometimes have to use premium shells, since it will be difficult to target the weak spots of armored tanks with such accuracy.

The 50TP is capable of reaching a maximum speed of only 35 km/h, with a specific engine power of 14 hp/t, it will do so uncertainly. With such dynamics, it is impossible to quickly change locations, so you should choose the right direction on each map.

The tank is most effective in close combat, while it is worth noting the good vertical declination angles of the gun -10 degrees. At such angles, you can safely play with an armored turret on rough terrain, but there is one factor that will interfere with this - tracks. When climbing a hill, the tank's harp will immediately leave, which, moreover, absorb damage well. Therefore, it is better to look for more gently sloping hills, so that when leaving the tank could immediately inflict damage on the opponent.

The Pole has large dimensions, which greatly simplifies artillery hits on him, so if possible it is better to hide from direct shots of self-propelled guns.

In general, playing in the top, the 50TP Prototype will be the main firepower in the team, since in 1 shot it will destroy more than half of the HP of low-level vehicles, but at the bottom of the list you will need to stick to the 2nd line, since a small margin of safety will not give you the right to errors.

The Pole is good enough to earn silver, because with such firepower you can earn quite a lot. For the “fan”, the tank is suitable only for lovers of alpha damage.

Is it worth taking

Initially, when a new branch was released, the 50TR was called the killer of the Soviet tank “Defender”, which has similar weapon characteristics. But the Soviet heavy tank is still more armored and dynamic. Of course, the Pole has its advantages, for example, the vertical declination angles of the gun or the accuracy of the gun, which is still better than the advice.

Most importantly, the 50TP Prototype is capable of earning a large amount of silver, which is the main goal when buying a premium tank. For all its shortcomings, the Pole still has more advantages, so you can safely buy it for farming. But this technique will be acceptable only for fans of heavy armored vehicles with low dynamics.
