I had my damage record 12.8k with this tank back in the 850 alpha days which also netted me bunch of gold from a Jingles contest. I still found the old 263 more fun to play though since it was more mobile. WG removing the 263 from TX was actually one of the main reasons I stopped playing alongside them constantly removing weakspots from tanks to encourage premium ammo usage.

[@juanjodpr]

For me the 268 V4 never was a problem with my 268, even the 279E can be shredded tto pieces by the 395 HEAT pen of this thing. I reload in 12 seconds for 750 alpha because I have bond equipment on it. It's a very consistent td but not many players know how to play with it.

For example, if you search a video jingles did a few years ago called Driveby, that FV4005 in the second half of the video is me, obliterating tanks left and right and ending with a lot of damage dealt.

@@thesandwich7151 It didn't have the legendary aiming time and dispersion values of the WT-AUF E-100 but still it had very decent mobility, reload time, engine power...WG nerfed the td to the ground making it very bad. The 'apparently' great stats the gun has are actually awful once you take a look at the soft stats. The Grille has 0.40 dispersion when moving the gun, it's great 0.26 or something only works if the reticle doesn't move an inch from a stationary target, the bloom basically becomes massive when you turn the gun. In the past it didn't close as fast as the WT Auf E-100 (which was like 0.8) but still it was ok (around 1.4) or something and the soft stats were basically the same as in the WT E-100. WG nerfed the engine power by pretty much 40%, the traverse speed and the soft stats. That's the reason the w/r of the Grille went from being one of the highest to be at the very bottom and WG still consider the Grille 'ok' despite its multiple flaws always pointed out in the beta servers.

[@EcchiRevenge]

This one deserves 850 alpha. (or default apcr like 704's gold round minus some mm of penetration at 1050m/s instead of 1100m/s) The problem with 268 is it sucks against goldspam(upper hull a bit better than IS-8 but it only barely is able to bounce ~250mm pen rounds somewhat reliably, plus flat areas next to gun), has rangefinder weakspot, and is generally worse than 704(which has nominally worse armor but doesn't have the weakspot on top, the mantlet is huge as is the spaced armor of is-3 covering more of the frontal profile; the better depression and firing arc also helps). IIRC 268 also has worse camo than 704; so besides the dpm(penetration on HEAT is nice but APCR velocity can be very useful) and mobility, it feels like mostly a downgrade.

I've had this vehicle in my garage for quite a long time but never played it. Lately I decided to try it out. And I must say I absolutely hate it. The game calls it an assult TD but I find that at close and medium range just about everything just goes through the upper armour, even without premium ammo and even when hiding weak spots and using (the frankly pitiful) gun depression. And playing like a sniper isn't exactly fun either with a main gun that misses about as often as a T92 and around 20 sec wait time for the next attempt.
