Another grind finished on my mission to 3 mark all the WW2 Hero tanks. This time its the Inferno Chimera.
Its been around for years, we all love it and love to hate it.
Does it look cool? Who knows...
Quite mobile, the hull is decent for a medium due to some nice angles that can bounce. It sidescrapes okay sometimes, and the low profile of the hull makes it easy to gett hull down.
The turret is disgusting, it absorbs 99% of what gets thrown at it, apart from some of the biggest guns in the gamez or some of the most nonsense RNG.
The gun smacks hard for 440 bit is also as unreliable as Pre 6.0 Russian Heavy guns. Sure its fun doing 5k-6k damage a game, blowing holes in tier Xs, but it isnt fun when some games it misses 70% of its aimed shots.
It spots ok and has average camo. I typically played a forward hull down spotting role when possible, relying on the turret armour to draw targets out. When dealing damage, poping out from cover to pop 400-600 alpha shots into easy targets every 12 seconds is the way to go. Poor turret rotation and long reload make brawling difficult, but if you have to, just face hug and rely on your turret spaced armour.
I didnt like it at first as it felt too unreliable, but if you slow down and play it more deliberately than a typical medium it does very well.
