Großtraktor - Krupp 0 950

Tank description:

The Großtraktor - Krupp is a German tier 3 premium medium tank.An experimental medium tank, developed by the Krupp company. By 1929, two prototypes were manufactured from non-armored steel and underwent trials in the Soviet Union until 1933. The trials revealed multiple faults, and the vehicle never saw service. However, the results of vehicle development were later used by German engineers.Thinly armored, very large and armed with a short barreled 75mm mini-howitzer, the "G-Traktor" is one oddball of a tank that plays very different compared to other tier III Mediums. To start, its (ahem) "armor" is pathetically thin, being nearly identical in thickness to the Vickers Medium Mk. III and stands a snowballs chance in hell of bouncing a shot from anything, so like the Medium III, play as a supporter, hiding behind your more armored peers and unleashing your high alpha damage shells on unsuspecting victims! In terms of offense, this tank bounces back from its awful defense(at least against tier IIIs anyway), the 75mm gun can easily pick apart most tier IIIs from mid to close range, however, with bad accuracy and slow shell travel speed, sniping is a big no-no. One massive problem the G-Traktor faces however is its near uselessness against tier IV and V tanks, almost anything beyond tier III will laugh as your shells bounce off their armor and they make quick work of your large, underarmored tank. Dont be discouraged though, pack a few HEAT Shells and wait for your higher tier team mates to catch the enemy off-guard and go for their weakpoints; do this and you''ll still be of some use, even in higher tier matches. All in all, play the G-Traktor cautiously, supporting your team from behind more heavily armored peers, lashing out at tier IIIs and going for the weakspots of tier IV and Vs when the time is right, stick to this method and you''ll unlock this weird tank''s true potential and discover how much fun it really is.
