After very much enjoying running around in the T20, Pershing and T54, I decided to buy my 3rd Tier X, an Object 140.
It's great fun to drive as it has the flexibility that Mediums usually have, but I'm finding it challenging to do decent damage which is weird as I'm really enjoying it.
These days I usually have decent sessions in Mediums but I'm keen to know how to rack up high amounts of damage in the Object 140.
So any advice on load-out, training, strategies, tips and best map locations are very welcome.

Late and not that much of a answer but i'll get it started.
It feels like a more flexible 54, can use more positions because of better gun depression. Just get to the important parts of the map to secure them early, if the team refuses to move up just relocate.
Move and wiggle while hull down or behind corners to cause bounces and missed shots.
Dpm, mobility and armor makes it easy to kill red tanks at all ranges, great for long range early shots, mid range peek-a-boom and really good at executing lonely abandoned tanks at close range.
I only have a 8 skill crew so far, Sixth Sense, BiA, Camo, Repairs, Snap Shot, Smoth Ride, Situational Awareness and Muffled Shot. The essential ones and then i try to focus on the gun and camo, after that i will go for the mobility skills.
I'm using the same setup on the 140 and the 62A, Rammer, Vert Stabs and Optics.
The suply loadout is pretty basic on the 140, if i get 15 crew skills i might swap the first aid kit or extinguisher out for food.
Auto lock is your friend, especially at tier X when you might not have time to aim in before a Deathstar slaps you all the way back to the garage, there's a time to aim and a time to run and gun.
There's better players around but i'm up for platooning 140s on the One.

I heard it's better than the T-54, but they play extremely similar. I had the T-62A and I can say that if I played the same as my T-54 I would do excellent, however with the 140 you can't rely on turret bounces as much so you always have to be moving, if you go against certain tanks load the HEAT and snapshot, also never aim while circling, people do it buts it messes up the system.
Play it in platoons the best

The 140, 62A, T-54, and the IS-8 can all do it. I would assume the 430 can do it too, but I don't have a 430. |

430 should actually do it the best because it's the lowest profile of them all, however, I do not know how the turret is or the weak spots, looks like HEAT will shred it

Can't really recall my gun getting knocked out in the 62A or the 140, feels like it happens in 20% of my 430 games. Any shell that's not HE will shred that turret roof. |
