Object 268

"Development of the Object 268 was started in the summer of 1952 at the Kirov Plant, Leningrad, under the supervision of Joseph Kotin. The vehicle was developed on the basis of the T-10 heavy tank. A prototype was manufactured in 1956. The vehicle passed trials, but never saw mass production." The Object 268 is a Soviet tier 10 tank destroyer.

Pros

 * Gun has very high penetration and offers nice balance between good alpha, DPM and accuracy.
 * Good mobility, can keep up with mediums and can relocate quickly.
 * High camouflage rating.
 * Pike shaped frontal armor can frequently bounce shots.

Cons

 * Multiple frontal weakspots, the frontal armor itself is neither thick enough nor sloped enough to reliably bounce high pen ammo.
 * Shell traverse speed is a huge downgrade from the Object 704, being in between the SU-152 and ISU-152.
 * Horrible dispersion while moving.
 * High crew and module damage; driver dies easily from frontal shots, side shots can easily damage the ammo rack and fuel tanks.
 * Poor gun depression.

This beast has an astounding 303mm of standard AP penetration, making it one of the highest penetrating guns in the game, excluding end tier artillery vehicles and the FV215b (183) or FV4005 Stage II. It also has a high rate of fire for the damage it can do, giving it one of the highest DPM of all tier 10 tank destroyers.

Another noticeable feature of this tank is the extreme accuracy of the gun; and while the 268's firepower is devastating, this TD is not without its flaws. While it is accurate, it follows suit of its predecessors with a long aim time, worse gun depression than the Object 704, and even slower shell traverse speed than the ISU-152, using the 0.33 accuracy is not easy. Map knowledge is very important with this tank but thankfully the 268 is very mobile, so it can get into positions early and achieve some early shots.

It is recommended to use vents and GLD to make the gun handling and gun stats as effective as possible. Optics is also a viable option to achieve higher view range. If your crew is not as skilled however, then binoculars are an okay choice as well.
