The Resilient TS-5
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
As it crawls from position to position, the TS-5 methodically takes out foes using its quick-firing gun with high penetration. Enemy return fire will bounce off of the sturdy, rounded cabin, thus making this TD's commander feel powerful and superior. It also earns plenty of shiny credits, so much that it's easier to weigh than count.

In the largest set of containers, you will find a certificate for the Bison Legendary camouflage. You'll also get an offer for this camo some time after your first battle with the TS-5. May the spirit of this mighty beast support you in battle!

Thanks to its rounded shape and 250 mm of thick armor, the TS-5 is able to withstand the fire from the most powerful guns. When in a position that hides the vulnerable strip of armor just below the gun, the vehicle becomes almost impenetrable. It's possible to drive it out from its lofty perch only with powerful HE shells or by attacking from the flanks.
The TS-5 will perform well as offensive fire support. By following heavy tanks, skillfully maneuvering, and smartly using cover, it's capable of inflicting the lion's share of damage on a group of attackers. If necessary, this vehicle can lead the attack, but only as a last resort. In close combat, the enemy will be able to target the commander's hatch, the armor strip below the gun, and parts of the suspension.
However, you can try to lock fronts against a tank with small elevation/depression angles. When "butting", the enemy won't be able to reach the lower armor plate, and hitting the commander's hatch while actively maneuvering won't be easy. But this is a desperate tactic because there's always the danger that the enemy will aim at your side.
Low speed and maneuverability are a fair price to pay for heavy armor. It's better for the TS-5 not to act alone, as even some heavy tanks can circle it. An ally (or better yet, a platoonmate) nearby is the best remedy for such troubles.
The TS-5 has a maximum speed of 26 km/h that it can reach in a matter of seconds. To be useful in battle, constantly stay on the move. As is often the case in regular battles, by the time the TS-5 arrives at the clash, other fighters have already exchanged first shots, which means it's time to join the attack and put pressure on enemies on the chosen route. Or cover the retreat of battered allies and stop the breach.
With 258 mm of penetration, 400 HP of single-shot damage, and a reload time of 8.7 seconds, the TS-5 is an expert at destroying enemy vehicles. Whether it's the front of the hull or the turret, this tank destroyer is able to penetrate most enemies without carefully targeting vulnerable points. Especially strong ones will feel the HEAT, which burns through 340 mm of armor.
The combination of a high rate of fire and durable armor gives the TS-5 the ability to deal with enemies without rolling back into cover too often. With ammo and equipment, its potential damage per minute exceeds 3,000 HP. Enemies will have to stand in line to return to the Garage!
