UDES 14 5 Review/Guide, Effectively Engaging at Intermediate Ranges

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.
