How to play this lineup
Opening spawn
T-44 is the default opener. Use a supported firing lane. Heavy guns reward aimed shots; keep enough cover to survive the reload.
Urban maps
Stop before corners, settle the gun and cover one approach at a time. Keep a teammate watching the route around the vehicle.
Open maps
Check gun depression before committing to a ridge. Use folds in the terrain to conceal the hull; do not force a firing position that requires exposing the whole vehicle.
Uptier plan
Favor side angles and lanes you can cover with teammates when frontal armor or penetration becomes unreliable. Select the round for the exact target, range and impact angle.
Downtier plan
Apply pressure with teammates after an opponent fires. Stronger armor is an opportunity to control a lane, not a guarantee against every enemy gun.
Replacement spawns
SU-122-54, 2S19M1 and Object 416 provide three further combat spawns. Change the lane or role after each loss. Air defense occupies a separate slot.
Across three matches, make an aimed shot from cover, retreat safely and contribute with a backup vehicle on a different useful lane.
Shoot from cover, pull back to reload and change your approach after a death. Get comfortable with all four combat vehicles before moving up.
Get the four core vehicles ready before moving up. Unlock useful ammunition and repair/firefighting upgrades first, then the equipment you need for each role.
Ammunition and stock grind
Check the vehicle guides for shell choices and ready-rack capacity. Start with useful anti-armor ammunition and available repair/firefighting upgrades, then unlock the equipment your role needs. Use your stock shells while researching better options.

Likely opponents
Examples from lower, equal and higher BRs to help you prepare. Which ones can be enemies depends on the nations on each team. This is not a ranking of how often they appear.
AMX M4 · 7.0
France · Higher BR · uptier range · Medium tank
Threat: A medium tank can fight in the main lane, then move to get a shot from another angle.
T-44 approach: Keep your hull covered, watch the return-fire lane and create crossfire instead of repeated frontal trades.
Aiming check: For available armor-piercing rounds, check penetration at the actual range and angle before choosing a crew or module shot.

Opponent specifications ↗
IS-2 (1944) · 6.3
China · Lower BR · downtier range · Heavy tank
