Object 704 in the game

Research and leveling

Object 704 modules

The first thing is literally necessary on Object 704, this is the new 152mm BL-10 cannon. The main thing is to study it on the ISU-152, because the stock Object 704 looks like a laughing stock on the battlefield. In addition, it can easily be installed without the Object 704M chassis, but they also need to be studied at the first opportunity.

Next on the list will be the new V-2-54IS engine, since it can also be researched on the previous ISU-152. Without it, the self-propelled gun moves very slowly, or at least that’s how it accelerates.

And the last to be installed are two new radio stations. With them you can fire at long distances and keep abreast of events on the map.

Combat effectiveness

Pros and cons of object 704:

Pros:

• Amazing firepower and the best armor penetration in the game.
• Impressive armor angles.
• Decent speed.
• Good disguise.

Minuses:

• Poor accuracy.
• Weak armor on the sides and stern.
• The smallest safety margin among tank destroyers of 9 levels.

The main trump cards of Object 704 are its destructive firepower, excellent armor by tank destroyer standards, and a high level of camouflage.

With proper use of this self-propelled gun, you can destroy 3-6 tanks per battle. At the same time, it’s not easy to finish off the last 5-15% of HP, as greedy teammates do, but to quickly “disassemble” them from a hundred percent state. All this thanks to the powerful BL-10 cannon. However, at longer distances it has major problems with accuracy.

The frontal armor of a self-propelled gun can be roughly divided into 2 parts - a mask and an armor plate. The armor of the mask is 320mm, the reduced thickness of the armor plate is 187mm. With proper luck (hitting the mask), Object 704 will not penetrate a single armor-piercing shell. In addition, large armor angles cause enemy projectiles to ricochet at high frequencies.

The main danger for Object 704 is high-level medium and light tanks. In close combat, they can “twist” self-propelled guns, remaining unpunished. In this case, you should stand with your stern against a wall or other obstacle, depriving enemy vehicles of freedom of maneuver.

Equipment, equipment and ammunition

You can take 30 shells with you at Object 704. It’s worth taking 25, or even all 30 armor-piercing shells. The remaining free space should be loaded with either sub-caliber or high-explosive ammunition, depending on the availability of gold.

The modules for Object 704 are worth taking the following:

Hello dear tankers! Today we will talk about a vehicle that for a long time was the crown of development of Soviet anti-tank self-propelled artillery systems, or more simply, tank destroyers. A car that instilled fear in any opponent, regardless of level and reservation. This machine is like a squall, like a storm wind that sweeps away everything in its path, of course, when used correctly.

So, here is Object 704.

Let's start:

The price of this device is 3,660,000 credits. A very impressive amount, and taking into account the fact that it is necessary to install modules, additional equipment on it and seat a little more than a good crew, the conclusion is that the car will really cost a pretty penny. Alas, this is the price for all subsequent pleasures. We'll have to save up, there's nothing to do.

The armor has increased significantly compared to the ISU-152. Rational angles of inclination appeared, the thickness of the sheets increased and a very strong gun mantlet appeared. The booking parameters are as follows:

Although on paper they do not inspire confidence, in battle everything looks different. The vehicle holds up well, ricochets occur very often, and the gun mantlet occupies a decent part of the frontal projection. So it’s very difficult to break through a car, especially from far away.

As for the crew, it is the same as on the ISU-152:

1. Crew commander (radio operator)
2. Gunner
3. Driver mechanic
4. Charging
5. Charging

I strongly advise against playing with less than 90% proficiency in your main specialty. Still, the car has too much responsibility to the team, and it will be very uncomfortable for you to play. I recommend transferring the crew using two methods:

1. Train a new or retrain an old crew with the ISU-152 with perks up to 100% for gold. It will cost 200*5=1000 gold.

2. Do not learn or reset additional skills for the crew with the ISU-152. (the 1st perk must be opened up to 70 - 75% or the 2nd - up to 50 - 60%) and trained for silver immediately up to 100%. It will cost 20,000*5=100,000 or 40,000*5=200,000 credits, respectively.

Equipment:

In stock condition, the tank behaves sadly, but within reason. Not like it was on the ISU-152. It’s also good that we have already unlocked the top-end engine, the BL-10 gun and the pre-top radio station, of course, if you didn’t fly the ISU-152 for free experience or opened ob.704 as quickly as possible, forgetting about the other modules. And if you downloaded the branch of Soviet heavy tanks, then the top radio station should also be open.

Here is the research thread for object 704:

In fact, the only thing that separates us from stock to top is the chassis or 23,500 units of experience.

Personally, I opened the chassis for free experience. But even with the stock running game, the game on the 704 is very comfortable. Yes, in some cases we do not have enough turning speed, but thanks to the BL-10 the experience is stable and in large quantities. It is worth noting that the stock. the chassis can be supplied with all modules - the BL-10 gun, the engine and the radio. However, there will be no space left for additional equipment, with the exception of 1 module. I recommend opening the chassis right away for free experience. Considering that you fought a large number of battles on the ISU-152, you should have accumulated 10 - 15 thousand experience. The rest can be converted for gold.

The choice of guns is of course not as great as on the ISU-152, but we don’t need 5 guns that are no good. I am glad that BL-10 is already open. This is a fabulous weapon, the highest penetration rate at level 9 of all those currently presented in the game. Average damage of 750 units will make any enemy think twice before moving towards the projectile.

The top engine adds a paltry 50 hp. s., but also weighs 50 kg. less))). Its main feature is the low percentage of fire, only 12%. There are very few engines in the game with such a low combustion rate. Considering that it should be open on ISU-152, we install it and don’t hesitate. At least a little, but it will add dynamics + in theory you can throw out the fire extinguisher and put oil on it.

If you downloaded the Soviet TT branch, then the top radio station should be open. If not, there is a pre-top one with ISU-152.

A short digression on why a radio station is so important:

To play effectively, you need to know what's going on in another part of the map. If you don’t know what is happening, for example, on the other flank, you cannot make the right decision and ask yourself questions:

· Where are the main enemy forces?

· Will they pass you by from the rear? (especially relevant on open maps)

· Do your allies need support on the other flank while you stand idle?

Therefore, we must install a good radio station.

In my opinion, the best pumping option is:

1. Installing the BL-10 gun(should be open) - I think there is no need to explain why.

2. Installing the engine(must be open) - Adds some dynamics and reduces the chance of fire.

3. Installing a radio station(top or pre-top must be open) - playing with a stock radio is very unpleasant, you don’t know what’s happening on the flank.

4. Opening and installing the chassis- to increase the load capacity (installation of additional equipment) and turning speed.

5. Opening the top radio(if not open).

In general, the machine has the following advantages and disadvantages:

Pros:

• Good vertical and horizontal aiming angles.
• Better accuracy and speed of aiming than on the ISU-152.
• The highest penetration at level 9 is 286mm.
• Huge one-time damage.
• Rational armor angles.
• Almost impenetrable gun mask.
• Low silhouette.

Minuses:

• Enemies have very high priority.
• Relatively low turning speed.
• A very capricious gun. (ricochets, shooting down tracks without damage, etc.)

Profitability vol.704:

You can play at least to zero with the BL-10 gun without any problems. For a good, careful game, you can consistently be in the black by 10 - 15 thousand. All this is thanks to the huge damage of the gun, 1 - 2 shots pay for the repairs, the rest goes into plus. However, the 704 will not serve as a farming machine. Shooting premium shells will naturally bring you very good losses, but for fun, having a premium account and a premium tank, you can shoot. In any case, I do this often and get a lot of fun.

Balance weight:

As shown in the table, the car gets into any battle level except 12, starting from 9. The car is at the top quite often.

Let's look a little at other level 9 PTs for comparison.

Jagtiger:

• Has average one-time damage.
• High damage per minute.
• Good cabin reservation.
• Excellent accuracy.
• Relatively high "barn".

T95:

• The gun is similar to ours, but with less penetration.
• Very hard forehead.
• Very low speed - 13 km/h.
• Large % fire when entering the engine.

• Presence of a tower.
• The gun is like the T95.
• Phenomenal turret armor.
• Cardboard case.
• A very oblique gun.

AMX 50 Foch:

• Very good speed and dynamics.
• Average damage.
• Relatively small penetration.
• Not bad armor.
• Low silhouette.

Game tactics:

In my opinion, vol.704 can be played with 3 different tactics:

1. Assault AT breakthrough.

Unlike the ISU-152, object 704 has good armor, which means we can be in the forefront of the attack. This tactic is suitable for those who do not like to sit in one place for a long time and wait for the enemy to act, but prefer to stick to their line. Naturally, this does not mean that you need to fly to the opponent’s base in the first minutes of the battle. You need to play carefully, always with the support of your allies. However, if necessary, you can carefully carry out an assault, showing the enemy what the 704 is capable of.

2. Support tactics.

If you don’t want/can’t play assault TD, then the tactic of carefully shooting from behind the backs of more armored and thicker strands will most likely suit you, supporting the pushing of the direction. I think this is all clear, and by playing the ISU-152 you should have perfectly mastered the basics of this style of play. Therefore, I will not dwell on it in more detail.

3. Ambush tactics.

Since the ob.704 has the best camouflage characteristics, you can effectively shoot from afar while remaining invisible to your opponents. True, the gun will not allow sniper fire over very long distances, but at medium distances you can effectively “delight” the enemy with the loss of at least 1/3 of your health. Take a good position and defend the direction with a couple of allies, very often 2 - 3 of your shots will discourage the enemy from climbing further.

Optional equipment:

Universal set:

1. Rammer - reload speed for AT is very important.
2. Gain aiming drives - will reduce the aiming time.
3. A fan or a toolbox - the first will improve everything little by little, and the second will increase the speed of repairing damaged modules.

You can also install coated optics. This set is suitable for tactics 1 and 2.

Subbush set:

1. Rammer - it is very important to shoot quickly at the AT.
2. Stereo tube or optics - Increases viewing range.
3. Musk. network - Increases the machine's stealth.

I think clearly how to play with such a set.

Equipment:

Almost everything is standard here.

1. Repair kit
2. First aid kit
3. Fire extinguisher or oil. The engine burns very rarely.

Crew Perks:

Secondly, I advise you to open a renovation.

The rest is up to you. But don’t forget that repairs, firefighting and military brotherhood need to be upgraded for everyone at once.

Happy fighting everyone!

Many fans of online games World of Tanks They can say that the Object 704 is a very reliable machine, endowed with many excellent qualities. However, this will not be enough, since some players rightfully consider him the best combat vehicle in the entire game and are afraid to face him in battle.

Indeed, Object 74 alone is capable of resolving the outcome of the entire battle. At the same time, he can either conduct aimed fire at the enemy, hiding in the bushes, or he can move forward without fear of enemy equipment. He easily takes a hit and is not afraid of facing heavy tanks one-on-one. Apparently, there is some kind of mystical code in the numbers 704, which controls the unusual properties of the tank. So, what is this tank, and how can you make the most of your ego?

Study of Object 704 modules and a small guide to the tank.

No problems are expected in “pumping” the modules of Object 704. In addition, you will probably receive the engine, as well as the gun, from the ISU-152. After all, the gun for the AT is the most important thing.

Weapon

As a weapon in Object 704 we have the legendary BL-10, which has a caliber of 152 mm. Despite its power, some players complain that this gun sometimes misses its target, but this inability to hit where it needs to be explained by very simple reasons:

 Gamers shoot with incomplete aiming, which is critical for anti-tank guns, since reloading is long and fire is fired over long distances. Therefore, each fire strike had to be precisely calibrated. Then there will be much fewer mistakes.

 Gamers shoot from very long distances - half a kilometer or more. As a result, the trajectory shifts and an accurate hit is not achieved. So from long distances you should aim higher than the target.

 Psychological factor. When shooting from a rapid-fire cannon, misses are not so noticeable. Here every shot must be lethal, so a miss is very clearly visible.

The question also arises of what to shoot with. Standard shells are not enough to reliably hit level 10 tanks, as well as some level 9 targets with one shot. All shells are in demand at Object 704:

 Armor-piercing shells are in demand if you need to hit a level 8 tank from a medium distance during close combat.

 A sub-caliber projectile will be required to hit level 10 targets at close and medium range.

 But high-explosive shells can be used for any target, hitting them from a long distance. This guarantees damage and damage to enemy modules.

And although high-explosive shells inflict only 250-300 damage to armored targets, it is guaranteed, while a sub-caliber shell from a long distance may not reach the target. This is why it is best to use a land mine from a long distance.

Speed

This is not the most outstanding component of the Object 704. The maximum figure is only 37 km/h. However, this does not prevent him from occupying key positions ahead of his rivals. It's all about excellent power and high maneuverability. The tank quickly picks up the required speed and is able to maintain it throughout the entire movement.

Booking

Despite the fact that Object 704 does not have outstanding armor, this does not prevent it from pleasing its owner with its impenetrability. The armor has rational slopes on all sides, which often causes ricochets, and the bulwarks can take the entire blow.

Modules

It should be noted that the Object 704 has excellent elevation angles (11 degrees in both directions), which makes the tank an ideal ambush tool, for which modules such as a stereo tube and a mask network are important. Despite the good visibility (390 m), the pipe helps to see the enemy in time at the distance from which he can be hit with fire.

You can also use a large-caliber rammer, although it can also be replaced with aiming servos without losing effectiveness in combat. All the same, in the conditions of an armed skirmish, a tank will not stand motionless. After the first shot, you need to take cover so as not to get hit by your opponents. Well, situations in which, due to the fact that you don’t have time to line up, you miss, or don’t fire a shot at all, happen often. So it makes sense to choose a convergence drive instead of a rammer.

Using Object 704 in combat

As already mentioned, the Object 704 performs best as an ambush combat unit. Therefore, the main task is to take an advantageous position in order to fire and fire at the enemy from there. Nevertheless, a tank can and should be attacked, but only when there is a guarantee of victory, or when there is a strike group ahead, to which Object 704 provides fire support. Although situations when a tank moves forward, shooting and demolishing everything in its path, also occur. But such tactics are justified only when there are few or no level 9 tanks in the battle, and there is no artillery.

Video guide review Object 704 World of Tanks

Video guide Object 704, like any other guide, is a troublesome and thankless task. Each of us considers himself a better tanker than Petya from the next apartment. But that’s not about that now. Now about the Object 704 tank, Soviet Fri. In the review of this video guide on the Soviet tank destroyer Object 704, we will talk about combat tactics on this vehicle, what additional modules are best to use, what consumables to use and what are the positive/negative aspects of this equipment.

general information

A stock car will bring you only positive emotions. And all because the main weapon of the scrap - the famous BL 10 - is already open for you (unless, of course, you were lazy and opened it on the ISU-152) and can easily be installed even without a top-end chassis. The only thing that will be very unusual after the ISU is speed and maneuverability. But do not forget that any tank in stock is only a shadow of what will be in the top. But now there will be a lot of ricochets and non-penetrations of the forehead. The World of Tanks Object 704 won first of all for its versatility: you can play as a tank tank, or you can break loose and rush into a rush together with the heavies. The maneuverability of the top leftover and its weapons will allow you to throw out such feints that no one expects from a tank destroyer.

Combat use

Your main trump card is impressive firepower, very good (by PT standards) armor and extremely high camouflage. If you use the 704 correctly, you can destroy up to 6 tanks in a battle. And these are not some shortcomings, but one hundred percent opponents. And all this thanks to the weapon. True, when shooting at long distances, there may be some problems with accuracy. Your frontal armor can be roughly divided into two parts: the armor plate itself and the gun mantlet. It is extremely difficult to penetrate your mask, and the angles of the frontal armor will cause enemy shells to ricochet away from you with enviable frequency. It is worth recalling that in world of tanks object 704 is a pleasant target for high-level LT and ST. These comrades can spin you around without taking any damage, so it’s better not to travel alone. Remember - one in the field is not a warrior.

Object-704 guide

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages:

• excellent firepower and the best armor penetration in the game;
• good armor angles;
• excellent speed;
• good camouflage.
• Object-704 Wikipedia

Flaws:

• poor accuracy;
• weak armor on the sides and stern;
• the smallest safety margin among tank destroyers of 9 levels.

Additional equipment and gear

Of the additional modules, the following are suitable: rammer, ventilation and lining. You can also take aiming drives, but don’t take the mono camouflage net. By level 9, all your crew members will probably have camouflage upgraded to 100%. The equipment is standard: first aid kit, repair kit and fire extinguisher.

Object 704 - Tier 9 tank destroyer of the USSR. The combination of a powerful weapon, a ricochet hull and excellent camouflage allows you to feel confident in any situation.

Leveling up

• Researching Object 704 requires 176,500 experience points. The previous tank was ISU-152;
• You can immediately install the top-end BL-10 gun on the stock chassis;
• Let's examine the top chassis. Thus, we increase the load capacity and turning speed;
• Next you need to examine the engine. This will give us more power;
• Lastly, we study the walkie-talkie.

Top equipment

How to play

This is a real tank destroyer with decent, by tank destroyer standards, armor.

We have an inclined upper armor plate, which gives ricochets and non-penetration, as well as a large gun mantlet, which is an eater of enemy shells.

But, despite his strong forehead, you shouldn’t get involved in close combat. Firstly, we will be easily dismantled by focus, and, secondly, light or medium tanks will be able to easily spin.

Remember that the Object 704 is a clumsy, clumsy tank destroyer. It has a good top speed and is able to occupy convenient positions to shoot enemy troops.

The downside of the gun is that it takes a long time to aim. At long distances the gun is not very accurate, so we shoot when we are 100% sure of a hit.

There are two main tactics: attack defense. In the first case, we fight from behind our allies and try not to take damage, since our weapon makes us a priority target for the enemy.

Our task is to crush heavily armored tanks, leaving them to be devoured by allied STs and TTs. In the second case, we stand behind cover or a bush and try to hold back the advancing enemy forces.

Advantages

• Huge damage per shot;
• High penetration;
• Strong forehead of the body
• Good stealth
• Large UGN

Flaws

• Weak armor on the sides and stern;
• Long reload and mixing
• Poor agility

Equipment and gear

Historical reference

“Object 704” was developed in 1945 using components and assemblies of the IS-2 and IS-3. The tank destroyer was a fully armored vehicle with a front-mounted conning tower.

The 152-mm howitzer ML-20SM, model 1944, was used as the main weapon. The gun's rate of fire was 1–2 rounds per minute.

The height of the tank is 2240 mm. The reduction in height compared to the serial ISU-152 was achieved by increasing the width of the conning tower. The armor plates of the hull and deckhouse were installed at large angles of inclination.

The combination of rational angles and impressive armor thickness provided the Object 704 with very high resistance to damage from enemy shells.

Object 704 also had its drawbacks. The absence of a muzzle brake on the ML-20SM gun led to an increase in barrel recoil. Large armor angles reduced the interior space of the conning tower, so that the crew had to work in cramped conditions.

One copy of the machine was built and tested. Object 704 was never put into serial production.
