Since, at the moment, all we have is the statistics list, we can only speculate on how good a vehicle this is going to be. In my opinion, it could be pretty good; it has a lot of mobility, decent armor based on stats, and an accurate gun with good gun handling.
What might hold Ogar back is below the average alpha damage for a tier 9 medium tank, and a low standard and gold penetration. Also, the shell velocity seems very low for a “Sniper” medium; due to that, long-range engagements will be very hard.
Characteristics
- Alpha damage: 350 alpha is not very competitive for a tier 9; you will have to expose yourself more in order to deal significant damage
- Penetration: a pretty bad penetration all across the board. Meeting heavily armored tier 11 tanks is going to be horrible
- Armor: While we don’t know about the exact effective values, the upper plate seems to be angled well; it might have around 250 mm of effective armor thickness on the upper plate, which is pretty good
- Mobility: since it has a gas-turbine engine, the top speed is actually 65 km/h. It should enable you to take important positions at the start of the battle.
- Gun Depression: 8° doesn’t make it a ridgeline god, but still offers good flexibility on various terrain
- Gun handling: exact dispersion values are still not known, but it has a pretty good aim time of just 2 seconds and 0.34 dispersion, which makes it pretty accurate
Potential Playstyle
The Ogar playstyle seems to consist of brawling with other fast vehicles at the start of the battle:
- Mid-to-short range engagements due to the bad penetration
- Flanking maneuvers: Decent mobility for tactical repositioning
- Rushing to positions: with an excellent top speed, it can easily contest for key positions. Since you have pretty good armor, you could easily take out light tanks that have the same ideas as you.
- Ogar kinda reminds me of a T-54, but with better mobility.
This is the first well-armored medium tank from the Czech line, which might suggest a new line appearing.
Note: Some promotional details may be subject to change as the vehicle progresses through testing phases.
