Who is borscht in wot. What weapon to put on Rhm

  • 15.02.2021

German tier 8 tank destroyer - Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger. It is a prominent representative of German tank destroyers and stands at level 8. The players nicknamed it "borscht" due to its consonant name.

Description Rhm Borsig Waffenträger.

But no one is insured against the risk of being detected and, as a result, it is possible to receive critical damage from the enemy. Therefore, the next skill of the crew should be repair, it will give a chance to quickly change position or make a retaliatory strike. Then you can turn your attention to the contactless ammunition rack, increase the smoothness of the vehicle with a smooth ride and turn the turret, and in addition pump up the radio intercept. It is worth noting that the combat brotherhood skill only slightly increases the indicators, and its presence remains only at your discretion.

Equipment for Rhm Borsig Waffenträger

Equipment for borscht can be standard, but additional equipment depends on the type of implement. In any case, a camouflage net and a rammer must be installed on the Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger. They will help improve concealment performance and reduce reload times, but for a 128mm gun, the third equipment slot should be occupied by a stereo tube, which will allow you to detect the enemy much earlier.

Players love borscht, but not everyone can immediately get used to the tactics of playing on it. But having shown patience, and having rolled about two dozen battles, you can easily drag the battle on this machine, instilling fear in the enemy.

Rhm.-Borsig Waffentrager - German Tier 8 anti-tank SPG. Equipped with a rotating turret. Traditionally, it is weakly armored, but it has excellent disguise.

Research and pumping

  1. To study, 71,000 experience points are required. Previous tank - Sturer Emil;

Tactics

The Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger is a top-notch ambush fighter. Excellent visibility and camouflage performance allows you to fire at the enemy from a long distance without fear of detection. The presence of a tower makes it easier to transfer fire from one target to another without moving the tracks, which also has a positive effect on camouflage.

There are two 12.8 cm K44 L / 55 and 15 cm Pak L / 29.5 guns to choose from. The first weapon is preferable for ambush tactics, due to the better accuracy and projectile flight speed. The second gun is beneficial for its lower mass and huge damage per shot, which is useful for more risky support tactics, and also gives an advantage in urban conditions, where concealment and vision do not play such a significant role.

Vehicle mobility is average for its class. The main drawback is the very thin armor, which does not even save from light tank fire and is penetrated by high-explosive shells.

Alternative weapon

History reference

Formally, the story began in 1944. The car was presented to Hitler at the waffentrager competition. This turned out to be too expensive and difficult to design. As a result, the choice fell on a lighter, simpler and more technologically advanced waffentrager from Ardelt.


Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger [aka Borsch] is a Tier 8 German tank destroyer. It is a machine, the main advantages of which are two very important indicators. However, we will analyze in order not only the characteristics, but also the necessary equipment, crew skills, as well as the tactics of combat, which will be the most successful.

First of all, let's consider the radius of view of this tank. Here it is equal to 360 meters. A very mediocre result, which will necessarily be corrected with the help of equipment.

Driving performance also does not stand out among classmates. The mass of this tank destroyer is 21.29 / 23 tons, and the installed engine power is 207 horsepower. These figures are the parameter of the specific power of the machine - 9.73 hp / t.

By the last value, we understand that we will not have to wait for good dynamics and maximum speed. The chassis swing speed is 45.04 deg / s, and the maximum speed is 35/12 km / h.

One of the strengths of the car is its silhouette and stealth ratio. This tank destroyer has a very low silhouette. Hiding in the bushes, the Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger enters stealth mode. In this case, even the lamp does not light up when fired, naturally, if the enemy is more than 50 meters away.

Reservation


The German tank destroyer is very poorly armored - 20/10/8 mm. Here, no correct slopes of the armor plates can affect the fact that literally everyone is shooting through the car. One shot is enough for artillery, do not forget about it.

The engine is located in the front of the hull here, and this must always be taken into account and not allow the enemy to enter this part of the hull.

Cannon

Poor armor parameters, mobility and everything else is fully compensated for by the main advantage of this tank - its armament.

Here you can choose from one of the tenth level guns.

First cannon 150mm Pak L / 29.5, which is a weapon with a large one-time damage - 750/750/950 units. Naturally, with such a large alpha-strike, the rate of fire suffers. It is here equal to 3.5 rounds per minute. In total, we get a very good result of damage per minute thanks to the same alpha-strike - about 2250 units per minute.


At the same time, this gun has weak armor penetration - 215 mm. With this value, the game will be effective only at the top of the list. In other cases, you need to either charge gold, or fight with high-explosive shells.

Accuracy is another drawback of this weapon. Having installed this gun on Borshch, we get a long aiming - 2.3 seconds, a large spread over 100 meters - 0.38 meters, and weak stabilization. This weapon is famous for the fact that at long distances it becomes simply uncontrollably inaccurate.

Alternative weapon 128mm Kanone 44 L / 55 has less one-time damage - 490/490/630 units. At the same time, the rate of fire is higher here, so this gun is capable of shooting about 2550 damage per minute, excluding modules and crew skills.


The armor penetration indicator is also much better here, the average value is 246 millimeters. Such a result is capable of breaking through even top-end equipment, and using extremely strong sub-calibers, it will even break through the forehead.

The accuracy of this weapon is much higher than the previous one. The spread here is 0.33 per 100 meters, and the aiming time is 1.96 seconds. Thus, this cannon will be able to shoot effectively at a distance of 300-400 meters.

The aiming angles on the first gun and on the second are controversial. On the one hand, there will be no problems with the UGN, because the gun rotates completely. But the gun bends downward by only five degrees, and this indicator cannot be called comfortable.

In order to continue the review, you need to select one of the weapons. Both offered cannons are powerful, but take the 128mm one as it is more comfortable to use.

Advantages and disadvantages

In order to better understand this unusual tank, we will analyze all its strengths and weaknesses.

Pros:

  • stealth coefficient;
  • damage per minute;
  • one-time damage;
  • armor penetration;
  • full tower;
  • weapons to choose from.

Minuses:

  • booking;
  • viewing radius;
  • margin of safety;
  • mobility;
  • high probability of crew and module crits.

Equipment

Modules should be chosen carefully so as not to waste silver. The equipment should work to enhance the advantages and correct the disadvantages. We propose to install such a set.

  • The rammer has a positive effect on the amount of damage per minute, which is always very useful.
  • Reinforced aiming drives increase the aiming speed of the cannon.
  • The stereo tube will increase the viewing radius, and will also be very useful in the tactics of warfare that we will propose below.

After pumping the crew, you can safely replace the second item with " camouflage net". In this case, it will be even more difficult to detect this tank destroyer.

Crew training

Learning mistakes take up valuable retraining time, so it's important to make the right choice right away. We propose a sequence that focuses mainly on the survivability of the tank, as well as increasing its stealth.

Equipment for Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger

Difficulties usually do not arise here. You should focus on your silver supply. If it is economical or lacking, we take a standard set in the form

  • small first aid kit;
  • small repair kit;
  • hand-held fire extinguisher.

And if there is an opportunity to take a premium set, we can safely buy it:

  • large first aid kit;
  • large repair kit;
  • automatic fire extinguisher (you can also take Chocolate, but the front engine position makes you think about it. In any case, this item is at the discretion of the tanker).

Having once again evaluated the characteristics of the vehicle, we conclude that the best position in the battle will be being in the bushes and in cover. This is due to weak armor and good camouflage.


Take advantageous positions away from the first line as early as possible. Make sure that bad elevation angles do not interfere with the implementation of damage.

Try not to engage in close combat at all. The only means of defense for a tank destroyer is its invisibility on the battlefield. In a head-to-head battle, you have to rely on damage per minute and banal luck.

When choosing a convenient position, it is very important to calculate the safest route to retreat, because once the enemy is spotted, the game will become very difficult.

In addition to the fact that you need to try not to get into the enemy's radars at all, it is important to remember about the mini-map and about the constant monitoring of the battle development.

Outcome

This tank destroyer is an unusual and very powerful tank. The main advantage of the Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger is its invisibility on the battlefield and, of course, its weapon parameters.

Video reviews Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger

Hello everyone! Today, in continuation of our conversation about the second branch of German tank destroyers, Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger is visiting.


So, Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger or simply Borshchik, as the players like to call him. I am sure that this name will be fixed for a very long time. It is impossible to call a borshchik a full-fledged PT, because one of the main advantages of this machine is the presence of a 360-degree rotating turret. Let's start by comparing the borshchik with other Tier 8 tank destroyers.

Durability: only 1100 units. The smallest indicator in this regard is for the SU-101, the largest is for the AT-15A. Provided that we do not have armor, the amount of health is very small.

Dynamics (specific power): the specific power of borscht is 10.35 l / s, I will not say that this is very small, but rather acceptable. But at the same time, agility is very good, and adding to this good cross-country ability, we get a PT that is quite comfortable in this regard, which is able to take a good position.

Stealth: Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger has the BEST stealth of all Tier 8 tank destroyers - 22.5 stealth coefficient for borscht. In the whole game, the borschik takes 4th place in stealth among all the tanks in the game. It is also worth paying attention to disguise. You can pump the disguise perk to the crew, but at the same time, at level 10, the most noticeable tank of the whole game awaits us - the Waffentrager E100, and then it will be time to think about how to get rid of this perk. Then you will need to remove this perk for silver. I would not pump this perk, because the borer is already one of the most inconspicuous tanks in the game without it.


Weapon: We have a choice of two weapons. I would advise you to put on the Mouse Gun. The advantages of choosing this implement:
1) Greater DPM - 2697 damage per minute
2) Rate of fire
3) Penetration 246 versus 215 in favor of Mouse Gun
3) Better mixing and accuracy
4) Faster flight of a projectile by 275 meters

Note that borscht's shells fly slowly, if we exclude the ISU-152, this is the worst indicator among all Tier 8 tank destroyers. It will take you a while to get used to this.


So, from the above, I will write down the pros and cons of Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger:

Pros:
● 2 excellent weapons to choose from, one of them has good accuracy, and the other has an alpha strike
● Tower rotates 360 °
● Good agility
● Excellent visibility - 400 m
● Excellent stealth
● Low silhouette

Minuses:
● Complete lack of booking
● Weak engine - poor mobility

We see that in this regard everything is good in the borschik, the number of pluses is 3 times higher than the number of minuses.

What to download to the crew?

Commander - light bulb, fighting brotherhood, disguise;
Mekhvod - camouflage, fighting brotherhood, smooth running;
Gunner - camouflage, combat brotherhood, smooth turret rotation;
Radio operator - disguise, fighting brotherhood, repair;
Chargers - camouflage, combat brotherhood, repair.
Equipment: coated optics, gun rammer, camouflage net (or reinforced aiming drives, depending on the gun you prefer)

How to behave when playing the Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger?

The Rhm.-Borsig Waffentrager plays the role of a typical tank destroyer, but with one big advantage - a turret. All you need to do is try to avoid taking damage, be prepared for the fact that many in the random are ready to meet with cardboard ATs of the new branch of Germany, so you can often take high-explosive shells, taking full damage from them.
AVOID close combat, with such stealth and accurate weapon (Mouse Gun) it is not difficult to do it. All that is required of you is to shoot accurately, for another the borschik is not suitable.

In general, I really liked the borshchik, I can safely advise you to ride this vehicle, because I think it is better than a tank destroyer at level 8!
