► Performance

With all the right crew skills, modules and consumables, your T57 will reload the clip in about 22 seconds, which is quite impressive. The time to load between the 4 rounds held in the clip is a mere 2 seconds. The armor, while it is not stellar, is still somewhat capable and will bounce if you angle well. Gun depression is better than most autoloaders, which will help you in hulldown positions.

When supporting a tougher tank in close-quarters combat, the opportunity to unload 1600 burst damage for free into distracted tanks can be devastating. The T57 is less effective on its own, because it can be rushed while on reload. Never go anywhere alone if there is even a slightest chance that you'll get rushed. However, if you can dictate range or corner fighting, you can trade 3 or even 4 shots for 1, which is quite good. By all means try to preserve your HP into the lategame, because T57 is one of the best finishers in the game - clipping down half-health or multiple one-shot tanks in return for only a fraction of your health can and will swing a tight match in your favor.

When driving this tank, always have in mind that you are a priority target for pretty much everyone, especially artillery. Use cover as much as you can at all times.

Having BIA and vents is recommended, as it not only shortens the aim time and clip reload time (although the 25sec magazine reload speed is still blisteringly fast when compared to its french counterpart) but it also increases the accuracy of the gun (0.34 with BIA/vents separately, 0.32 with both BIA and vents, 0.31 with BIA and vents and cola), helping to make every shot count. In an autoloader making your shots count is critical so if you have the chance to fit your tank and crew with the mentioned augmentations then take it.

All told, the T57 is one of the best and most flexible damage-dealers in the game. If you manage to get yourself into the right positions in the battle, react appropriately and most importantly survive and don't attract too much attention, it is not unusual to dish out 5000, 6000 or more damage in a game.
