Hail, Friends of Wargaming.
Lordsheen here.
Today we're going to look at the tier 8 Polish
medium tank, the CS-52 LIS.
I've played it for a few games and so far
it seems like a well-rounded tank.
I received it by doing the marathon for it.
I mostly played tier 8 premium tanks and obtained
237000 base experience to complete all of
the stages.
It took me a little under 50 hours to complete.
I enjoy grinding events like this where it
takes a few dozen hours to obtain the final
reward.
Anyway, let's take a look at the statistics
of the CS-52 LIS.
It has 1300 hit points, which is around what
you would expect for a tier 8 medium tank.
It weighs 37 tons and it has a decent engine
power of 720, so you could do some good ram
damage with this tank against enemy light
and medium tanks.
Its specific power is 19.5, which is reasonable,
but on soft surfaces it might feel a little
sluggish.
It has a top speed of 50 kilometers per hour
and a top reverse speed of 20 kilometers per
hour.
Its traverse speed is quite good at 45.7 degrees
per second.
The view range is OK, but it could be better.
After a couple of matches in the CS-52 LIS,
I decided to put coated optics on it to increase
the view range.
The radio signal range is quite low at only
572 meters.
As for its hull armor, it has 80 milimeters
of frontal hull armor, 75 on the sides, and
45 at the rear.
At a glance, it looks like it has weak hull
armor, but it's angled nicely so you should
be able to bounce a couple of shots in each
match you play.
Its turret has 190 milimeters of frontal armor,
110 on the sides, and 90 at the rear.
The gun mantlet provides some extra protection.
Enemies who are tier 8 and lower often have
trouble penetrating this tank when it's hull
down.
Also, it has an excellent turret traverse
speed of 43 degrees per second.
The CS-52 LIS's 105 milimeter gun has an OK
fire rate with great penetration and 320 alpha
damage.
It has wonderful accuracy with 0.32 dispersion
and a fantastic aim time of 2 seconds.
This tank has great gun handling with an excellent
turret, so it is quite strong when shooting
enemies from far away.
I was using the T-44-100 a lot when I was
doing the marathon to get this tank, and I
noticed that the CS-52 LIS isn't very good
at brawling.
The T-44-100's specific power is higher and
reload time is faster, so I could reliably
hit it with two shots in my T-44-100 when
the CS-52 LIS could only hit me with one shot.
The equipment I use are vents, gun rammer,
and coated optics.
You could swap out vents for vertical stabilizers,
but I personally prefer vents for the extra
bonuses.
Let's go into battle and see what this tank
can do.
The map I got is Ensk.
It's an OK map for medium tanks.
I'm bottom tier, so I'm heading towards the
field to shoot enemies from a distance.
I was spotted quite early into the match,
but the CS-52 LIS has excellent turret armor
so I should be able to poke enemies from this
position without taking too many hits.
My APCR ammo has 252 milimeters of penetration.
That should be more than enough to dish out
some damage.
My sixth sense has only gone off once so far,
so I think I've been spotted this entire time.
The enemy CS-53 has given up on trying to
hit me with AP shells, so he has started shooting
me with high explosive shells.
The Progetto 46 can't hit me from his position,
so I keep poking the enemies over here.
I should've used my first aid kit sooner.
I'm continuing to poke the enemies with only
showing them my turret.
I have 2000 damage blocked so far.
Beautiful shot.
I've been hitting some nice RNG shots this
match.
Artillery provides dynamic gameplay.
It looks like I have to move up if I want
to get more damage.
I'm probably not going to get a hit on the
50TP, so I search for other enemies.
Skorpion G. RNG has been in my favor for most
of this match.
The T28 is on reload, so I take my time to
aim.
The T28 turned towards me a little bit, but
there's not much he can do in that situation.
All enemy vehicles were destroyed.
Victory!
Here's a summary for the CS-52 LIS.
Pros.
It has excellent gun handling, low aim time
and dispersion, high penetration, good alpha
damage, great turret armor, angled hull armor,
and a high traverse speed.
Cons.
It's sluggish on soft surfaces, it's outperformed
by many other tier 8 medium tanks, and it
has a low radio signal signal.
The CS-52 LIS is a well-rounded medium tank
that can perform well if its turret armor
is properly utilized.
Congratulations, you've made it to the end
of the video.
Now it's time to get down to business.
Lordsheen's biggest fan, if you're out there,
I've made a special checklist just for you.
It is very important for our success and I
need you to follow it closely.

QuickyBaby and The Mighty Jingles if you do
these things for me.
