T14: American training tank for going hull down
Upload: September 14, 2020. Last update: September 14, 2020
I consider this heavy a staple in the Blitz learning curve and a must have tank for everyone who actually wants to become a decent to very good player. If you want to shine on the battlefield with tanks like the T110E5 in tier 10, you'll need some experience with going hull down first. T14 is a great training vehicle to do this, due to the almost impenetrable turret when using full gun depression coupled with a rather weak (but trollish hull). You will quickly learn when your hull is exposed! I have tried to explain this with the image on the right. This tank is stronger armourwise than the stats on paper say. That's why visiting external websites like Blitzhangar a good idea for every purchase, ever.

To make a long story short, I'll put the positives and negatives of this tank in a list with bullet points. All tier 5 premiums from the tech tree make more or less the same amount of credits. Usage of prammo isn't such a big cut from your gains either.

Should you buy this tank as a beginner? I'd say yes, but with some caveats. Make sure that you like heavies, and be prepared for some rough low tier games. That's the same for most tier 5 tanks though: that's why it's a great learning tier.
