Description
The Object 248 is a premium gift rank IV Soviet heavy tank with a battle rating of 6.7 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced during Update "Danger Zone" as a reward for Battle Pass: Season VIII, "Field Testing".
General info
Survivability and armour
Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat? If necessary use a visual template to indicate the most secure and weak zones of the armour.
Armour type:
| Armour | Front (Slope angle) | Sides | Rear | Roof |

| Hull | ___ mm | ___ mm Top ___ mm Bottom |
___ mm | ___ - ___ mm |
| Turret | ___ - ___ mm Turret front ___ mm Gun mantlet |

Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).
Pros and cons
Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in a bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".
Pros:
- 100mm cannon has lethal penetration & damage: can frontally penetrate & one-shot hard nuts like M4A3E2, Jagdpanther, Tiger II, etc
- 100mm cannon has rapid reload (~10 seconds), boosting its firepower exponentially
- Adequate acceleration & speed on paved road, can keep up with some medium tanks (eg. Panther) to provide much-needed heavy fire
- Fast reverse speed of -16 km/h allows it to pull back into safety quickly
- Rounded frontal hull and turret can sometimes bounce shells
- All-round protection, very useful against SPAA like Ostwind II
- Relatively low and small for a heavy tank
Cons:
- Weak frontal armour: lower front plate and gun mantlet can be easily penetrated by common foes like M4A3 (76), Chi-Ri, Tiger II, etc
- Closely sat crew of 4 are very likely to be taken out with 1 shot
- Poor gun depression (-3°), limiting its capacity in mountaineous terrains
- Turret rotation of ~10°/s is quite slow, can be fatal when targeting flankers like M18, M41
- Sluggish acceleration in loose muddy terrain, heavily reducing mobility
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
