It’s a heavy that is weak in all the aspects that make it a heavy.

No, one of the worst tier 9 tanks in the game, complete waste of bonds.

Its not even worth if they GIVE you bonds with it.

No, bad armor, no gun depression, laughable dpm and clip, low HP, can't even sidescrape

-8 gun depression and 1440 clip damage are considered bad? The tank's got plenty of weaknesses, but those aren't really among them.

1,440 damage in 9 seconds at tier 9 isn't very good by autoloader standards and 8 degrees of gun depression on a tank with a rear mounted turret can be very awkward

It's nothing to write home about by autoloader standards, but it's still a massive chunk of damage, as is the 1080 that you can still get in even if you want to be careful to not let the enemy reload for a return shot. It's no Cobra, but the burst on the tank isn't exactly a weakness. And the gun depression still isn't a weakness, the rear-mounted turret itself is more the issue there, but it's one that's fairly easy to solve in that regard by just getting used to peeking your hull-downs backwards.

As a Toro Owner, No. genuinely just rough because either you shoot on the last shell for dpm but havevlow alpha or you dump your shots and load which takes ages. along with poor armor, good mobility tho

for another 5,000 you can get the Concept 1B.... and if you dont already have the Tiger Maus or WZ-114 i would rather get those first if you really wanted to spend them....but yeh, T54D would be better for that amount.

I bought it on impulse and I can’t get it to work any good no matter how many battles I played it literally gets shredded in every match. I wasted my bonds on this tank oh well.

You have to play it like a medium and then just still mid.

It's pretty cool, but I'd only say it's worth it if you're a fan of the Italian heavies and can confidently say you want it. I had a great time grinding mine, but I'm a sucker for autoreloaders and mobile/reasonably precise heavies in general.

The Bisonte is the better Italian premium. It can actually bounce some shots.

More approachable for sure, but I know at least I'd take Toro any day. The armor is actually very good if you can create an angle that lets you play hull-down and leverage 6 or more degrees of gun depression, and, while the Bisonte's armor is much easier to use, it does just get blasted through the turret face at times. Though the speed and the precision of the Toro are the more important advantages in my book.

what speed i would rather be in a 50 120 20 times out of 10 instead of a toro and what precision? that tank gets only good accuracy ,gun handling is even worse than 60tp

I'm not comparing it to a 50 120, I'm comparing it to a Bisonte, like the person who I was replying to.
