FV215b (183

Had been working my way up to the FV215b (183) until I saw on
the tankopedia it only carries 12 rounds of ammo. I see the
FV215b (183) all the time in games but now wonder how they make
it through the game with the limited amount of ammo?
Should I still go for it?
Also I have been working my way up to the Waffenträger auf E
100. I have been going this way more than the FV215b (183) after
finding out about the ammo.
Which one would be the first to get-I know this question will be
everybody’s own opinion. :scream:

The Death Star has a long reload and I highly doubt you would
ever run out ammo. I'd love to have one, but the grind was
really unpleasant. I got as as far as the Waffle IV, but
abandoned it after experiencing the abysmal gun depression and
constant engine damage. I'd go for the Death Star since I love
derpin' so much.

Maybe ran out of ammo twice in almost 300 matches. After way to
many bounces and ricochets with AP, I now shoot purely HESH.
Paper armor coupled with almost 30 second reloads(with GLD and
BIA) and a long aim time makes you learn fast on choosing shots.
Hell I even let some tanks drive right on by if they don't see
me and I'm not at least 75% certain the shot will land. Did I
mention it had mediocre gun elevation and depression too? Lol
I still enjoy playing it. I'm one that gets a kick out of one
shooting or hitting for well over a thousand per shot when
having a bad WOT night.
If you consider it to be an Alecto at tier X while being a much
larger physical target you'll do just fine in one. Big cannon
mounted to a cardboard box. It is very mobile for its size.
Right on par with a T110e5 in terms of acceleration and speed.

I like it... But prepare to hide when lit up... Shells come
from all directions.

Be prepared to lose a lot of money running this tank. I think I
make money maybe 20% of the time and the other 80% losses run
typically anywhere from -10K to -40K. You need to be doing
damage with all of your shots or you will lose money. Also
running out of ammo is not too much of a concern. I haven't run
out once in over 100 games. Its a fun tank and have actually
laughed out loud one shotting tanks. The very first pull of the
trigger in my brand new 183 I one shot an E-50 from full health.
Next game I had 7 kills and ace tanker.
With this tank I find that if you don't wait for the reticle to
fully close in then its guaranteed miss. You will spend a lot of
time making sure you have a good target fully aimed in that
combined with the reload means you will be lucky to fire 6 shots
the whole game. Those six shots thought are likely to nab you
7K+ damage.
