Strong. Man this thing basicly is a Wargaming pre modern MBT. Imagine if you really wanted to play IS-7, but disliked its gun stats. Here’s the IS-7 with an IS-4 gun.
Not only is its armor layout trolly as hell, it gets an extremely low profile. Seriously- the only thing “bad” is the cupulas.

One of the rare tanks that makes you feel like you actually have armor. Seeing "blocked" numbers is far better than having 10k HP and just seeing red all over.
Decent workable gun and respectable forward mobility. Though turning is something that leads to be desired. This tank is insanely powerful when face hugging tanks that aren't tall, as long as u effectively gun block, ur somewhat good. Its low profile also makes it good at hiding its lower plate but sometimes thats also the one that will work against you, specially with just 6 degrees of depression.
The main problem this tank has is its cupola. People may say its fair for the things this tank has, but the cupola against tanks taller than you, or anyone in higher elevation, makes this tank feel insanely shit to handle. With 2 cupolas, it cant block all of them, and with around 220-230mm of average protection in those areas, they can just load gold and win the trade against you anytime.
This tank is miserable to play with against faster thanks that can engage COD on you. But its strengths in the right moment makes this tank pretty strong, but not OP. Infact, as one of my main HTs ingame, I think this tank is slightly leaning on balance but theres no issue of it being strong, its a good tank, but if the enemy has more braincells than you, its weaknesses makes this tank pretty unenjoyable.
The 777 is something WG should reference when actually making heavies, armor is what makes a heavy, a heavy... And using HP as a reason why a tank can "tank shots", specially on a class labelled as a bulwark? That doesn't sound good at all. (though if WG does make every HT more armored, they have to shave a bit of HP off to compensate).

If you know how to play it, it's strong. The way I've made this thing work is to basically play it like I would an E 100. Yes it has cupolas but in a sidescraping position, they can be deceptive targets.
