Plus, this ambusher can change its position with ease. That spells a sniper, especially considering that the basic APCR round of its 105 mm gun travels at 1,480 m/s, and the camo values of the vehicle are excellent. In Siege mode, the base accuracy of the KPz 3 is 0.25, and the base aiming time is 1.5 seconds. When trading damage becomes unavoidable, your 1,900 HP will also come in handy. The two cupolas on the turret are also vulnerable, but some wiggling can disrupt enemy aiming, and you can always use a terrain fold to your advantage to ensure that the cupolas aren’t visible to enemies in front of you. The sides of the hull have enough armor to make angling possible, but remember to have the lower plate covered to prevent a well-placed enemy shell from sparking a fire. The upper glacis plate has only 70 mm of nominal armor, but it’s very sloped and quite bouncy. Of course, damage mitigation is the bread and butter of any breakthrough heavy tank, and this is where the BZ-58-2 dominates.
Travelling at 1,250 m/s, these rounds further increase your chances of scoring a damaging hit. If not, the special APCR rounds with 303 mm of penetration can help. Thanks to its good accuracy, the BZ-58-2 can aim at vulnerable spots of enemy armor where the penetration of the basic AP rounds (250 mm) should be enough to do the job.
