I bought this beast a while back along with the T-34 (1776) and just ignored it. It's now on track to be my highest WR tank ever at 65%. And yet nobody plays it, a point proven by my 4 ace badges (another personal record). Why does nobody play it?

Too slow. And it leads to the dreaded T 95.

OP's talking about the premium tank, not the tech tree T28.

 

Before it was buffed, it was a real dog.  After the buff, it is a lot better, but still easy prey for decent players on red.  That's why it is doing well right now - so few decent players out there that know how to deal with it.

It's one of the few tanks where yo legit don't stop pushing. The armour is obscene in tier 7 games and far from easy to deal with in tier 8. The gun is capable but nothing impressive and, thanks to the ridiculous gun arc, you're pretty much impossible to COD

T95 is absolutely fine. In fact I enjoyed it as much as T30. The only thing about is that its game carrying ability is somewhat limited so maintaining 60%+ WR in is hard. 1 vs 2 is hard to win if OPfors are even semi decent and knows how to flank.

Ok... so how do you deal with it?

Prammo through the front plate seems to work ok.

I don't even remember when I last saw that tank in game. No need to worry if no one is playing it.

Ah yes, the famous "load gold" approach. Correct angling should draw a considerable number of bounces even from tier VIII HEAT and APCR.

Unfortunately, I've dropped down to 67.91%, the main reason being that I am in lower tier >50% of time and tier 8 is really the land of clueless players in tier 8 premiums. And wow, you got 5 masteries in that thing?  I haven't got a Mastery yet.

 

Your stats suggest that you are really aggressive in the tank - compared to me you have higher damage but lower survival

Damn right I play it aggressively. If you understand the armour, you should have no issue playing against tier8

the tank is a beast though clearly not my kind of tank

anyone with half a brain can shoot through your sideboobs without any repercussions, especially Tigers which could go hand to hand against you and can pen every single time
