I review the Bourrasque, a tier 8 French premium medium tank in World of Tanks (WoT), with replays of tier 8 Westfield and Cliff battles.
The Bourrasque marries the vision control of a light tank with compact burst damage. It is the quintessential finesse tank due to its many limitations, but when played correctly it has a lot to offer.
Strengths and Weaknesses
+ Insane compact burst (720 in 2s)
+ Superb camo (39 with Camo, BIA, Vents)
+ Good view range (390)
+ Good shell velocity (1000)
+ Small profile
- Poor gun depression (-6)
- Poor accuracy (0.42 base)
- Long aim time (3.5 base)
- Poor silver ammo penetration (190)
- Sluggish hull traverse for a fast medium
- Paper armor
- Lightweight and highly vulnerable to ramming
Recommended Equipment
1. Optics
2. VStab
3. Vents
This video is part of my "Road to Unicum" series in which I share what I learned as I progressed towards account Unicum rating (top 1%) with silver ammo only. I talk through how I'm reading the battle as it unfolds and discuss key decisions and mistakes. My hope is that these videos meaningfully help players improve their gameplay.
