I review the UDES 14 5, a tier 8 Swedish medium tank in World of Tanks (WoT), with replays of tier 10 Serene Coast and Overlord battles. The UDES 14 5 offers a unique style of play; it blends a high-alpha gun with a low-profile platform. The hydraulic suspension enables the driver to increase the max gun depression from -6 to -13 at low speeds, but it's not immediate gun depression and therefore has limitations in terms of practical use.
If you don't like brawling and do like vision sniping, this is probably a tank you'll enjoy.
Strengths and Weaknesses
+ Superb shell velocity (1385)
+ Superb camo (over 34 with full Camo crew)
+ Excellent alpha (360)
+ Flat profile
+ Upper frontal hull armor is angled, can bounce shells of 105mm or lower
- Poor accuracy (0.38 base)
- Thin armor
- Low HP pool (1400)
- Like many tier 8 meds, limited top speed (55)
Recommended Equipment
1. Optics
2. VStab
3. Rammer
This video is part of my "Road to Unicum" series in which I share what I learned as I progressed towards account Unicum rating (top 1%) with silver ammo only. I talk through how I'm reading the battle as it unfolds and discuss key decisions and mistakes. My hope is that these videos meaningfully help players improve their gameplay.
