Heavy in the Swedish branch, which attracts with its powerful set of characteristics. Let's analyze everything in order, as well as highlight the pros, cons and determine the tactics of combat on Emil I.
TTX Emil I
We begin the review of this tank with its viewing radius of 360 meters. A weak result, which will definitely have to reach a more comfortable one with the help of equipment.
The mass of this strand is 28,8 / 32 tons, the engine is installed with a capacity of 380 horsepower. From here we get a rather weak specific power - 13,19 hp / t. We conclude that the dynamics of the tank is mediocre.
But the same cannot be said about the maximum speed. She is beautiful here - 50/16 km / h. Mobility is a significant advantage over the enemy. However, it is worth ing that the maneuverability here is not very good.
Reservation
The margin of safety of EMIL I is 1 units. The strongest part of the tank is the frontal projection of the turret. Turret booking parameters - 400/180/35 mm. We see that it will be difficult for classmates to break through us, but when playing at the bottom of the list, you need to be extremely careful, especially if enemy vehicles charge gold.
The hull armor is determined by the value 100/20/30 mm. In principle, it is desirable to hide the hull, because even the seventh level vehicles are able to break through the upper armor plate and NLD.
Booking boards is even weaker. Here, the best tactic would be to simply hide this part of the body from the eyes of the enemy. You can, of course, see parts of the airborne projection where projectiles can ricochet, but this won't happen often, so it's safer to just not check for ricochets.
Cannon
Emil I is a vehicle equipped with a loading drum, which automatically makes the tank more interesting. The magazine holds 4 rounds. The one-time damage of the top gun does not stand out among classmates - 320/320/420 units. The rate of fire of the gun is 5,68 units / sec, from here we get the damage per minute indicator - 1280 units. that the cooldown between shots is 3 seconds. It takes 37 seconds to fully reload the magazine. This is a pretty good result, considering that it usually takes longer to fully recharge.
The armor penetration rate of our tank is 217/242/53 mm. In order to feel more comfortable and confident in battle, we recommend carrying two or three gold drums, but the more, the better.
The accuracy is not outstanding. The convergence time is long, and the spread at 100 meters is large. In order to make the game on the tank enjoyable, we recommend that you also adjust this item with the help of equipment.
Vertical aiming angles are much more pleasing. The gun is lowered by 12 degrees. Such an indicator of UVN gives a significant advantage over the enemy.

Equipment for Emil I
We select equipment in accordance with the above points of the pros and cons of this machine. We propose to install the following modules that will correct the disadvantages and highlight the advantages:
- Vertical stabilizer will increase the accuracy of the tank by improving the stabilization of the gun.
- Enlightened Optics will enhance the viewing range for EmilI.
- Improved ventilation – an important boost for all crew skills.
Instead of the third point, you can put "reinforced pickup drives." This module will increase the amount of damage per minute, however, without "ventilation", the reload speed of the drum will suffer.

How to play on Emil I
This tank is a very strong opponent, because it is endowed with armor, mobility and damage parameters that are valuable for WoT.
Of course, the outcome of the game depends not only on the professionalism of the tanker on Emil. A lot depends on where you are on the list. Most importantly, always that this strong machine is capable of much even at the bottom of the list, so the latter is not a sentence.
Due to the fact that the gun has a drum loading system, the main task of combat is to clearly calculate the situation, the enemy’s safety margin, one’s own, as well as the time of firing and reloading the gun. At a time when the gun is fully reloaded, the machine is very vulnerable. To spend this time with benefit, it is recommended to look for a convenient place to fight on such mobile machines.
When conducting close combat, try to win back with a tower in order to hide part of the tank's hull behind the terrain. Comfortable vertical aiming angles will provide this moment with the highest convenience.
Don't forget about the mini-map and combat state tracking. In the battles at the bottom of the list, always be extremely careful, look for the most advantageous positions and enjoy the game.
Сonclusion
Emil I is a balanced vehicle that collects valuable parameters for many tankers. This tank will appeal not only to lovers of heavy vehicles, but simply to those who like speed, armor and damage.
