Jumbo is modified, upgraded version of its predecessor.
First important difference is its improved armor.
The turret is armored even better, its virtually impenetrable now.
Sadly, the cannon hasn’t changed.
105mm cannon is still available, but when Jumbo is thrown against tier VI-VIII it doesn’t work well.
Gun M1A2 76mm with 128mm penetration is far better.
But it doesn’t allow to play calmly, and the damage dealt is only 115 points.
This gun has nice rate of fire which is 18 bullets per minute.
In addition to armor another advantage of Sherman Jumbo is its mobility.
Top speed is only 35 km/h, but for such armor it is a nice specification.
Gameplay style depends on enemy tier.
When you buy Sherman Jumbo most of modules should be already developed.
Then,brothers in armsfor the entire crew.
Avoid shooting at front armor, especially at the lower plate that is virtually impenetrable.
Visible weakspot that is the machine gun socket in fact isn’t a weakspot.
It has the same thickness as rest of the armor.
Your main target should be the turret, but it requires pretty accurate gun.
You should mostly aim under the gun.
The armor thickness at that spot is only 70mm and it isn’t angled at all.
Remember not to shoot at gun mantlet.
The armor thickness at that point gets even to 300mm.
