It is a Russian tier X heavy tank.
It connects great mobility with very good armor and firepower.
This tank is very good in all aspects.
One can even risk saying that he might dethrone IS-7 on level X battlefields.
This tank has very thick turret which is almost impenetrable.
Its only weakspot is commander cupola, which is small and hard to hit.
It’s far easier to penetrate it when you set yourself on right position to remove the angle.
Mobility of this tank is one of his greatest advantages.
He has an engine with 1200HP and it has great power/weight ratio.
There is around 20KM per ton, which allows Object to quickly accelerate to even 60km/h.
He is one of the fastest tier X vehicles in the game.
His cannon is slightly less impressive.
Premium ammunition guarantees that you will pierce through any vehicle in the game.
The cannon has quite good accuracy for a Russian one.
The only disadvantage is time it needs to focus, it is 2,4 seconds.
Object 260 has a heavy tank armor and a medium tank mobility.
Both those characteristics makes him a very comprehensive vehicle.
He will be good on the frontline and while trying to flank enemies.
In my opinion he should be used mostly to flank enemies.
Then, brothers in arms for the entire crew.
Object 260 armor is hard to penetrate even though hull plates have only 150mm thickness.
Luckily, such situations are rare, the vehicle is usually a bit higher or lower than you.
Thanks to that your chances for penetration are higher.
The lower plate shouldn’t be considered as an obvious weakspot.
The armor at this spot has the same thickness as the lower plate and he has similar angle.
You should aim at the upper part of the lower plate.
You should use situations when Object is higher than you.
In that case, you should easily pierce through his lower plate.
Object’s turret is his greatest advantage.
You won’t be able to penetrate it unless you hit the weakspots.
The armor is very thick and well angled.
Usually the real armor thickness is from 300 to 400mm.
You should aim at the commander copola which can be found on the left side.
It is small, but in close distance you should be able to hit it.
The second weakspot is turrets mantlet.
The area without protection is narrow, but if you aim well you will face only 60mm of armor.
During combat you must avoid sides of Object 260.
They have a layer armor, which in some places increase his real armor thickness to even 500mm.
You should shoot at the area between the middle of wheels and the upper part of the tracks.
There you will have only 100mm of steel to penetrate.
The back of the hull and the turret is very thin and you should easily penetrate it.
…as the driver of the Object 260?
At the beginning of the battle use the advantage of your vehicle’s speed to take good position.
Rethink the way of riding on enemies.
Sidescraping won’t be always the best solution.
Remember that you are a heavy, not a light tank.
Regular ammo has 260mm penetration and it is not always enough.
It is wise to have always few premium bullets that can be used in dangerous situations.
…against Object 260?
While fighting, take advantage of the great angle of Object 260 armor.
It can be his weakness as well.
Always go for the armor plate that has the worst angle towards you.
Even with premium ammunition you won’t have much chance to penetrate the turret.
Whenever possible, attack from sides or the back.
Don’t forget to shoot at front or back wheel of the track.
You will immobilize enemy for a short time.
That time can be used by you, your teammates or the artillery.
