HWK 30: Is it worth it? (World of Tanks Console)

Picked up the new unskinned German light tank this week and played for a couple hours in it and overall its a solid tank especially if you enjoy something like the Ru 251.

To compare the HWK to the RU.
Ru is smaller with more camo and a tier higher with slightly better gun handling, DPM and base pen.
The HWK 30 has the same shell velocity across all the rounds and cares 9 more rounds of ammo. One of the main advantages that the HWK 30 has is that the forward gun depression is 10° compared to the Ru's 6°.

In the end. If you want your tier 8 RU 251 back this is the tank.

Edit:
Comparing this to the M41 90mm. This is a better passive scout/sniper with the M41 90 having more dpm and worse long range capabilities it's more suited to brawling more.
However the houndhound is general the best just cause of the extra crew training.

Looks like a love child of an RU and Leo

Are the unskined versions better than the skined versions and why if so.. just picked this tank up last night only played 2 games in it so far

Still wish this was the tier 9 going to tier 10 and the ru stayed at tier 8. but it still looks fun. but not going to get it sadly.

How do you make it so enemies damaged parts show up? Like when the track was broke it showed you
