There's something about the FV183 that the FV4005 cannot replicate.

[@nicolasmariotti]

Maybe it's the accuracy/ gun handling?

[@GrimSix]

The fact that you can't get HE spammed

[@_MrBread]

It’s slower, well armored, better gun stats, better camo and the nostalgic feeling of being the first of the two TD’s with 183mm and the only one stole the name of the Deathstar from originally the Jagdpanzer E100 rather than being called a shitbarn.

[@aaronrogers1142]

@@_MrBread The 4005 has always been the shitbarn not the 183. The 183 is the deathstar its the only tank iv ever known as the deathstar and i been playing since launch pretty much.

[@_MrBread]

@@aaronrogers1142 yeah, I mean it’s better being called a death star than a shit barn, they are two different tanks i just meant the name for both. I know the Jagpanzer E-100 is the original deathstar since I could remember old youtubers like jingles mentioning it, but that didn’t last long since basically a couple of updates later the British TD line came to be. I’ll try to look for a link that mentions it

I got the dispersion down to .32 and had 470ish view range. Might have been higher in view range, it's been awhile. You do loose some options to snap shot, but the view range just helps too much.

My biggest mistake was buying this on the Black Market for 20-million credits. I couldn't play it, as the HESH costs so much I was not able to regain the credits. It's fun, but you need to already own all the tanks and have all your crews fully trained before playing much in this.

yeh this TD sucks now, on the odd game you get lucky, but with all the HE nerfs and recalculations for HE damage, the gun can't do much vs anything with the massively poor aiming/accuracy. Ontop of which, when a tier 7 can pen through the weak upper plate above the gun mantlet every time (has about 80mm of armor), the FACE of the turret doesn't compete with anything tier 9 or 10 for blocking damage, and the hull is that much worse.
