Just got the 140 yesterday, and initially I wasn't doing too well in it
I concluded that it was a personal issue, and continued playing it. Now I love it (so far at least, only got 15 matches or so in it)
It's also hilarious to bounce shells off of the front by peeking out and baiting shots at an angle

So far I haven't been set on fire, BUT I have noticed that what you said is true: the fuel tank loves being damaged, along with the ammo rack
Hence this is one of the few tanks that I run the more expensive repair kit instead of the typical cheap version

Cheers for the guide!

The T-44 and and T-54 have the radio operator on the loader, who moves to the Obj 140 commander which is a tad annoying

[ohgord-qcqd]

I used to think the 140 was something special, but by the time I ground my way up to it, I found out it wasn't. I got the 121b for bonds, and what a difference. I am going for the Stb-1 now which is what I should have started with in the first place

140 suffers from the same issue as light tanks. in 2023 with current equipment and field mods the dpm and mobility doesn matter because its dang near im possible to lock people in place and use your gun the way its meant to be used

[GoatingVirtual]

Low alpha guns are just overall worse nowadays, it’s more of a trade-off game instead of DPM fighting.

17:00 I have been having similar games to this one, I thought I was a terrible player since youtube is filled with cherrypicked video tutorials of the obj 140... Thanks mate this real game play of the obj 140 is quite helpful!

[icantsleepicantdance]

Ob.140 is a support tank. to play on the second line. detection and flanking. never play him in the first line. that's why you get off the board quickly

[andrewraw]

It was my fave T10 at one time. Like you say the low alpha just kills this tank in the current game

[ezekiel]

Ironically I just unlocked the obj140 a few days ago and I think the gun is about one of its best advantages. Sure, it's not a lot of alpha but the second you get to freefire at someone it absolutely shreds.

I've got it several weeks back and I play it entirely differently then you do. Though I don't have all the mods and my crew is 2-3skill.
I use Vents + CVS + Improved aiming. It works well I think. Had even one 11k combined game, which I'm kind of proud of. I avoid snapshotting and try aiming and that seems to be rather important for this tank. I basically treat it like german gun LT.
Your point about BBQ is valid though this tank can't handle well being hit anyway.

[neilford]

Timely video! Should grind it this week...

[johnfarscape]

For me it worked better using vents, rammer and improved aiming, and playing as a mid to long range damage dealer, you still have great dpm if you have to brawl, but thats a last resort for me. . I find if i am only exposing my turret, i don't get set on fire, in situations where I do, the game is usually lost already, and I am hit while running away.

[neokim]

The reason I’m going for 140 is that I enjoy type 59 gameplay. But years of practice have warned me that any gun smaller than 120mm at tier X is not flexible enough. On hulldown situation, 120mm can fire HE freely while 100mm can only fire gold rounds and pray that it pens.

[ohgord-qcqd]

I noticed on yesterdays stream someone thought that if you had "rental" Object 283, you wouldn't get it from the loot boxes. Well I had a load of rentals (green tick next to the tank in prize list) and it was the first one out. Also on Dez's stream a load of others got it first as well. Plus once you get or already have all the tanks, the minimum box roll protection disappears, so you don't get as much gold compensation for duplicates as at Christmas. So please let people know it is a rip-off!

[danam]

I have this unlocked because of blueprints, same with 430U, think I might go for 430U during Holiday Ops sale

[TheBel]

nice review.maybe i should get this afterall im already had t54.thanks

[rubenzs]

First game with 140, 6.6k damage, my personal record. After that I havent had any better games, but it was enough for me to fall in love with it.

It may not be meta, but it is still okay

[NobodieCro]

I actually gained 4km/h when switching that field mod at 4:32. I think 4km is not bad.. at 57kmh now.

[TB]

There are three issues IMO with this tank. One is the fuel tank hit box in the front is absolutely massive and gets damaged constantly even with the module HP increase from equipment. Compare the module layout of the 140 to the 907 and the 430U and you will see.
Second issue is the alpha is too low. WG should consider bringing the alpha up to 360 and lower the reload speed so the DPM stays the same.
Third is the engine needs some more power. The top speed is fine it's just sluggish getting there.

With those changes it still wouldn't be better than a Centurion or an STB but it would be better to play.
