Straight from supertest its… another Soviet heavy (Edit: Apparently for a new mini-branch that’s been unannounced to us mere mortals. Let’s hope that pans out). I know folks…. lets look at the stats anyway:
- Tier: 8
- HP: 1500
- Hull Armor: 120/120/80mm
- Turret Armor: 250/140/120mm
- Turret Traverse: 32 deg/sec.
- Hull Traverse: 26 deg/sec.
- View Range: 350m
- Speed: +35/-12 kph
- Penetration: 212/240/68mm
- Damage: 390/390/530
- Accuracy: 0.42
- Aim Time: 3 sec.
- Reload: 12.6 sec.
this 120 mm side armor with rear turret……and -12 depression angle? I don’t know what to say……
-12 to the side, not towards the front.
The information is absurd!
1st, this tank should be part of a normal mini-branch from tier 8 to tier 10, rather than a prem tank;
2nd, the “35/12 максимальная скорость” means the “35/12 maximum speed”, there is no word talking about depression or elevation on the picture.
I think the quality control of news should be as well important!
It is a normal techtree tank witts
-12 is reverse speed ……
Depression/Elevation: -12/+35 deg ???
On the picture says Maximum speed 35/12 km/h. Forward and backward.
I’m pretty sure this is meant to be a tier 8 normal tank. Aren’t they planning on adding a new rear mounted HT soviet line?
More pay 2 win tanks… These things need to fuck off and die.
Pay 2 win?
This tier 8 will see mostly tier 10 battles, with only 240 premium pen.
I don’t see much winning here.
Lol its going to be a researchable tank along with 2 others with rear turrets.
Yaaay more tier 8 Soviet premium heavy tanks. Precisely what we need. *end sarcasm* On a serious note, I think there’s a typo on the gun depression, should be no way that thing can point that gun 12 degrees downward
It’s new! Rear turret!
OH MY GOD WHY
Since when is this a premium tank? This is supposed to be the first tank in the rear turreted minibranch.
Holy -12 gun depression… probably only over the left and right tho
Lets see… Take a tier VII tank… Overbuff the historic ammo, buff the side armor, improve gun depression by 3 times… yep. That’s a tier VIII now
This is NOT a premium tank, this is one of 3 new rear turreted Soviet heavy tanks that WG is planning to add them into the game. Watch your news source carefully next time! This is causing some big misunderstanding among people
FINALY we get a russian tier8 premium tank^^
A Soviet Chrysler GFB. WITH BETTER STATS!!! Well balanced stronk tenk.
at this point there are more premium than regular tier 8 tanks…….but who gives a fuck?????
Premium or not, there had better be a frontal weakspot. The ‘code 22 for days’ meta is starting to get really old.
It’s Chrysler get fucked 2.0
the gun looks lacking for a tier 8 russian 122. 212 pen? is this going to be the russian chrysler for gold spamming or will they at least give it pen like the is3 and kv4 (though i think the kv could use a little extra since the tank is very slow with not a whole lot of alpha behind that pen)?
It’s for the new mini branch with this as tier 8, object 705 and object 705A as tier9 and 10 respectively.
its a line vehicle folks…. its line one……Object 705 and 705A follow to tier 9 and X. Go easy people, check the info before vomiting.
wg, pleese double its armor and make it prem tier 8, players desperately need soviet version of Chrysler, to prove russian stronger than capitalist
Hello i’m Niiiiiinnnnooooo!!!!!!
This has 33% more side armor than the is-3, but lacks the spaced armor or angling that makes the is-3 so troll. It also looks taller, meaning it is easier to hit from the side.
Also, this is on the supertest, and WG seems to like to start with an overpowered vehicle and tune it down, instead of an underpowered one that they tune up.
Its regular vehicle, isn’t it?
part of USSR new Heavy line (like we need another Russian line…).
Please check your info thoroughly, you rustled a lot of jimmies here.
agreed. perhaps it is not mentioned since it’s not decided yet whether it will still be in a line? anyway that pen is barely acceptable in t8 heavy play, so i’d expect this to be a gold trap (a vehicle that encourages players to use gold shells).
should we revolt again for the recent amount of prems that consider gold shell play as standard? IMHO that’s just hurting the game environment by encouraging noobs to spam gold instead of spam brains, and it pisses ppl like me off
if the Sau 40 looks like a tier 4 pig, this looks like a tier 8 pig
World of tanks is spent. how about some fucking maps? only game in exiestence that takes maps away and thinks its a good thing. god If only some special asshole would push for more fucking maps instead of just throwing trash tank after trash tank. the maps are BORING!!!!!
This is a premium event tank on wotb, it’s called IS-2SH
