Armoured vehicle MS-1 [WOT]

MS-1 [WOT] papercraft
The MS-1 is a very capable and forgiving Tier 1 tank, making it an excellent starter vehicle. It is slower than the American and German starter tanks, but it has the thickest armour; the frontal armour in particular is almost twice as thick as the T1 Cunningham's (although 18 mm of armor is not going to stop much incoming fire to begin with). Unfortunately, the MS-1 has the lowest amount of HP out of all the Tier 1 tanks, and cannot take too many hits.

The starting gun, the 37 mm Hotchkiss, is decent enough against other Tier 1 tanks, but it is very inaccurate. The 45 mm mod. 1932, though, is probably the best single-shot weapon available to any Tier 1 tank. It has the highest damage and penetration values for its tier, effectively penetrating all but the most heavily-armored tanks that the MS-1 faces; sniping with this gun can be very effective. The high damage-per-shot also makes it excellent for taking snap-shots while playing "Peek-a-Boom" (moving out of cover, taking a quick shot at close range, then moving into cover again). Both of the guns have very long aim times (2.5 seconds), with only the QF 3-pounder on the Vickers Medium Mk. I having a longer aim time at Tier 1.
