Progetto C50 mod.66 - Tier IX tech tree heavy

[arthurwellsley 132]

I have just finished playing the tier VIII Italian Heavy the Progetto 54 which is sort of OK if played as a medium. I now have the tier IX Progetto C50 mod.66

I used free exp for the top turret and the top tracks.

But there are two gun choices.

Tier IX Cannone da 105/76 or tier X Cannone da 120/62

Stats for the tier IX are

320 average damage

258/281 penetration

4 shells in magazine

3 seconds time between shots

15/14/13/13 autoreloading time

0.34 dispersion

3.1 aim time.

Stats for the tier X are

400 average damage

242/303 penetration

3 shells in magazine

3.5 seconds time between shots

16/14/13 autoreloading time

0.36 dispersion

2.7 aim time.

 

To play through and grind the 209,860 experience required for the tier X which gun would you use or recommend?

From what I head both are viable in their own way. Alpha with low aim time seems attractive though. But so does higher standard pen and 4 shots in the mag.

 

Will be going up that line soon for the T8 and T9, so listening in for opinions.

Tried the 105, it's ok, but imo not worth the xp. The 120 is in line for the rhino anyway and offers better dpm.

Small gun has even worse DPM and only marginally better burst potential. The long aimtime kills it even further. Avoid.

To add to this, the small gun also takes longer to dump the clip (9 seconds vs 7 seconds), meaning more exposure, which is not ideal.
