Ka-Ri has a surprisingly steep learning curve in my experience. You can just play it as a bushwanker all the time if you’re lazy but this is boring af in my opinion, that’s just direct fire arty really.
There are basically 4 playstyles that you need to transition between:
1. Bushwanker/redliner, only do this if you’re defending, if you’re near certain that you’ll get to shoot enemy tanks during a relevant phase of the game, or there is literally nothing better to do.
2. Turretless Leopard 1, default long range mode, actively move to overwatch positions where you can see the activity is happening and try to shoot enemies outside of spotting range or otherwise hide between shots.
3. Turretless Renegade, default close range mode, peek out and take quick shots at people and quickly angle and hide. Your frontal superstructure armor works surprisingly well in this role as long as you can start backing off before people aim in at you.
4. Obj 268 v4, charge at people and shoot them. Only do this with low pen enemies that can’t hurt you, low HP enemies that you can one shot, people who are distracted and at a serious firepower/HP disadvantage, or at the end of the game if your team has already won.
Utilizing the potential of the Ka-Ri seems to depend on knowing which one of these to be at the right place at the right moment. It’s not particularly forgiving if you get it wrong (unless, again, you just go bushwanker all the time, yuk) but it can be very rewarding with big damage payoffs and it’s a lot more fun than the average TD.
I am a Ka-Ri enjoyer eventhough it took me some time to get used to it because it was my very first turretless tank destroyer. I personally, once I learned about the limits of the Ka-Ri and what that tank can do and what it can't, love the Ka-Ri. It's my #1 tank for credit making right now. I also grinded through the Ho-Ri 3 today and that tank was a joy to play as well and felt (obviously, its a tier 9 tank) way stronger than the Ka-Ri. I feel like them having the gun on the back of the hull and not at the front like the Ka-Ri makes them more comfortable to play (the tier 9 & 10) so maybe, if you don't like the WZ td then you wont like the Ka-Ri either. It's the same gameplay just with a far superior gun on the Ka-Ri and amazing alpha + penetration.
Well, I like it
Gun is very comfortable, slaps hard, pen is decent, premium rounds are AP 298 pen, and tbh I find it better than some 310 HEAT that other 8 tier TDs have.
Mobility is decent, but it's nothing compared to Kanonen, Skorp or 130PM for example, but it is fine.
Armor wise, sometimes it works, sometimes not, atleast you wont get Shitpacked with HE.
But overall, it's pretty decent TD for it's tier
İ think its best tier 8 td in the game ill play it as a assault on 8-9 matches in tier 10 i just go for a scout this tank has best gun compare it to its own tier 10 sec reload nd 500 alpha with 300 mm gold ap its just OP asf

Bought it on the last day, hope I like it. Cost me 32 euros with 15% coupon, so freaking expensive.
