M4A1 Revalorise Review/Guide, When to Snipe vs Push

I review the M4A1 Revalorisé aka "Ravioli", a tier 8 French premium medium tank in World of Tanks (WoT), with replays of tier 10 Malinovka and Tundra battles.

Is it worth it? I think so. The M4A1 Rev is a fun tank to play due to its gun characteristics. As a tier 8 premium, it's an excellent credit earner. The Revalorise is purchasable at any time as it's part of the French tech tree.

Strengths and Weaknesses
+ Superb alpha damage (390)
+ APCR as silver ammo with very high shell velocity
+ Superb max gun depression (-10)
+ Excellent gun handling
+ Excellent accuracy (0.35)
+ Good view range (390m)
- Squishy
- Large profile
- Low top-end speed (40 km)
- Sluggish acceleration
- Poor hull traverse, circling an opponent ain't happening
- Long reload time (12.8 sec base)
- Poor camouflage values

The Ravioli is a "finesse" tank but it fills its role effectively.

Recommended Equipment
1. Rammer
2. VStab
3. Optics

Some Unicums favor Vents over Optics but as you probably know from my prior videos, I place high value on vision control for lights and mediums.

Viewers have asked me to review various premium tanks that I don't have in my garage. If you're feeling generous and want to gift me a premium tank, let me know and in most cases I'll be happy to review it.

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.
