Play Style
Distance is both ally and enemy to the Object 252U. At close range, its accuracy is not a significant hindrance; however, the enemy can more easily hit those weak points in return. When brawling, the tank’s low DPM means most enemies of equal or higher tier can deal more damage in the same amount of time.
But, if you force the enemy to trade shot for shot, you can negate some of the DPM disadvantage, and potentially gain the upper hand. The best way to do this is to use cover while reloading. When doing so, it’s also important to keep some distance (50m to 100m), or to have enough teammates nearby to dissuade the enemy from simply flanking your cover.
Loadout
This is a pretty standard Soviet “medium-heavy” tank, akin to the IS-7 line. If you have a preferred loadout for tanks of that style, I would recommend sticking to it. Personally, I would go for increasing the DPM, reducing dispersion, and increasing mobility.

A Gun Rammer, Vertical Stabilizer, and Improved Ventilation are my go to’s, boosting DPM and gun accuracy for brawls. If you want to be a bit more well rounded, you could swap Improved Ventilation for Coated Optics. |

| I would recommend “Repairs” to help prevent “perma-track” situations, “Brothers in Arms” to provide a general bolster, “Snap Shot” and “Smooth Ride” to improve accuracy, and “Clutch Braking” to keep the gun on target and the frontal armor pointed at the enemy. Per usual, “Sixth Sense” is nice to have as well. | |||||
