The remaining five vehicles will be available when the “Overwhelming Fire” event goes live, so stay tuned if you want to try them all!
XM551E4 Hailstorm (XM551 Sheridan)
Historical Reference
The designers’ idea was for the T250 cannon 6×37 gun to be powerful enough to destroy enemy infantry and lightly-armored vehicles. Later, the project was supposed to increase the elevation angle of the gun to fire at low-flying targets, but the limited ammunition that could fit in the improved turret and the awkward placement of the crew led to the project being abandoned.
Flakpanzer VIII Flakmaus (Maus)
Historical Reference
Project of an anti-aircraft vehicle based on the Maus superheavy tank. Different variants of gun systems on the superheavy chassis, including dual 88-mm guns, were considered for adoption. The vehicle was never produced.
M5YE2 Thunderclap (M-V-Y)
Historical Reference
An experimental piece with a 75 mm ARES XM274 gun. The project
was canceled because of the poor positioning of the gun in the standard turret, which was hard to maintain.

Oh boy autocannons are here
Why do WG want to ashame themselves by writing 200% fake “historical” references?? Just say: “These tanks are made for fun modes” and you are done with it! Still, the game mode will be cool, I like the idea of it.
because immersion?
Because Wargaming Cinematic Universe?
