![]() ![]() Generally speaking, the T14 is less "lopsided" than the Excelsior. Both are quick to accelerate (for heavies), and feature similar weak 75mm armaments. The T14 is very similar to the Excelsior, the British tier V premium heavy tank. Because the T14s traverse speed is so marginal, a T14 with an inexperienced crew will struggle to maneuver. Unfortunately, while it has good acceleration in a straight line, the T14 has very slow top speed and hull and turret traverse speeds, which complicates this. When faced with large, well armored opponents, the T14 often needs to use its speed to flank and outmaneuver them. While powerful enough for taking out smaller lights and mediums, the T14's gun struggles to penetrate other heavies and even some more heavily armored mediums. Its alpha damage isn't particularly bad, but its biggest issues come in the form of its mediocre penetration and terrible accuracy. The T14 is armed with the same 75mm M3 cannon used by the M3 Lee. Though the T14 may be able to take a beating, its armament has a hard time doing damage in return. Despite having all this weight, the T14 is fairly quick to accelerate thanks to its powerful engine. Even so, the simple thickness of it, and the angles of the top and bottom of the mantlet, will pull off some bounces. Gold will make short work of the turret, and the hull if you do not angle. The cheeks of the turret (front not covered by the mantlet) will certainly not stand up to anything more than light tanks or small medium tank guns, and the mantlet will not reliably protect you from most Tier V vehicles, especially if they hit the unrounded horizontal middle of it (think maus turret, with angled upper and lower parts but a flat middle), or tank destroyers. 101mm of armor seems nice, but the turret front is poorly sloped, and the mantlet adds little. Unfortunately, you must be wary of the seemingly strong turret. The turret and lower glacis are the most well armored places on the tank, which means the T14 can take advantage of angling and hull down positions. The MG port is a glaring weakspot (only 63 mm).Small strips of armor above the skirts are only 51mm and can be penned by even tier 3 guns.Very slow hull and turret traverse makes flanking a high risk.and horrid accuracy will struggle against Tier V heavies and most tier VI tanks. Gets Premium MM, useful considering its subpar gun. ![]()
