World of Tanks: Analysis of Buffed Type 5 Heavy and Loadout Guide

Compares armor values before and after the update, covers coping strategies in various situations, and delves into the pros and cons of the Type 5 Heavy Tank.
The Type 5 Heavy Tank still has a lot of HP, which is advantageous in engagements.
Standard rounds aren't great, but they're not terrible either.
