Armor
While the T77 is not lightly armored, it is not a typical heavy tank. The 1450 HP allows you to be a little gung ho and can afford you some mistakes, but you should not be the tank leading the charge or trading shots 1-on-1 with enemies.
The tank is most comparable to the

, with a sloped upper hull that can bounce shots. Your upper armor can resist fire from medium-penetration guns, but you should not rely on the ability to take heavy hits.

Time to check out the most explosive and impressive part of the tank. The T77 packs an almighty 1080 damage burst within only four seconds. Combining that with a strong standard penetration of 232mm APCR shells and high penetration on the premium HEAT shells, you will make sure that you either take a big bite out of every healthy opponent, or provide the killing blow to anyone unlucky enough to run into you in the latter stages of a round.

), you have a higher caliber gun (120mm instead of 105mm), which results in more module damage. Putting three shots into the same opponents will boost your damage with ammo rack explosions or fires. Just beware that the long reload of the clip leads to bad DPM (although this is nothing unusual for tanks with a magazine).How to Play the T77

Repair is crucial as a first skill to remain in the game for longer. You shouldn't lead the charge or fight in the first line, but even in the second line, your tracks could be destroyed and you don't want to be caught without them. Make sure you are always ready for a quick escape or to change to a more advantageous position. The additional skills improve your gun and your general performance in battle, especially Brothers in Arms.
The view range of your vehicle is not fantastic, so we recommend getting the Situational Awareness skill for your commander as soon as possible.
As the crew layout here mirrors that of the
