A little more has come out since DecoNoirs post so Pt II. Seems this is due to become a tier X Promotional tank and not part of the tech tree. First our trademark English overlay Russian screen grab and then pics of the beasts 3D model in the wild. Click for full size.
almost 2900 base dpm for a tank that is most likely a well armored beast.

Seems pretty OP – no LFP, UFP 200 mm high angle, turret also a bunker, nice gun.

Just don’t.
I mean let’s stay real: Today there are only MBTs for a reason and the reason is that all the Russian super heavys sucked in real life. They are too heavy for roads, too slow (70 km/h on IS7 is just stupidly unrealistic). Make these russian tanks what they where in the real world: Bad tanks.

I can taste the salt through the web

The funny thing is that the IS-7 actually did reach 60km/h in trials

“It was also able to achieve a top speed of 60 km/h thanks to a 1050-horsepower engine giving it a power to weight ratio of 15.4 hp/tonne” -wikipedia
Wargaming: 59,6km/h, 1200hp, 17,6 hp/ton
And everyone knows the top speed can be easily exceeded when going down a hill. In addition i am not an expert but i don’t think this high horse power engines were any reliable in 1948.

Why its 17,6 instead of 15.4 anyway?

fun to say, that 1050hp engine technology is from a ussr submarine.

Potential tier X to replace the reward tank obj 260? :0

Wait, uh… does this thing have 4 tracks? Like, 4 FUCKING TRACKS?
I’ve seen the Object 279 but this thing? Uh, I think it’s a fake. Blatantly OP fake.
0
Blatantly fake? Nope. It’s legit. http://i12.pixs.ru/storage/6/4/4/Untitledjp_6614304_23703644.jpg 100% more real than the Grille 15 or Panzer 7 or any other fake nazi shit tanks.
Blatantly OP? Abso-fucking-lutely.

FFS I thought WG sacked the moron that was responsible for all the ridiculously OP tanks. This thing needs to die in Super test

Well, at least it’s easy to tell where to shoot on the side/don’t have to worry about spaced armor eating the shells.

I can’t be only one who remembers a QA post that they joked about people wanting the 279. Game play would be “You’ve been tracked” simulator.

It would have better armour then 268v4 and a turret
