WoT RU 1.26 Common Test: Hidden Vehicles (Updated List)

GPT-75 (China, Tier-10, HT, premium)
Hidden gun stats of the GPT-75:
dispersion from Movement: 0.30
dispersion from Hull Rotation: 0.30
dispersion from Turret Rotation: 0.20
dispersion after Shot: 8.00

GPT-75 Historical Reference:

As part of the concept of “border covering tanks”, a specialized heavy tank was designed for operations in mountainous terrain. This project focused on strengthening the frontal protection of the turret and hull. Additional armor plates were installed on the turret, and the VLD of the hull was made in the shape of a “pike nose”. The weapon chosen was a low-ballistic rifled gun with a caliber of 180 mm with a powerful high-explosive projectile. The ammunition was placed in a mechanized ammunition rack (the selected projectile is fed to the dispensing window, then the loader manually loads the gun) in the rear niche of the turret. Work on the project did not go beyond the sketches, since there was no longer a need for such a class of equipment.

BZ-74-1 (China, Tier-10, HT, promotional) Hidden gun stats of the BZ-74-1:
dispersion from Movement: 0.12
dispersion from Hull Rotation: 0.12
dispersion from Turret Rotation: 0.11
dispersion after Shot: 4.00

BZ-74-1 Historical Reference:

The BZ-74-1 was developed under the influence of the M48A3 tank received by the People’s Republic of China. The layout of the tank is classic, the hull is cast and welded from parts. The tower is welded from rolled sheets. Many solutions for the chassis and body were taken from the American counterpart. The power plant was a monoblock of engine and transmission. Despite quite realistic prospects for implementation, the project remained on paper.

Prototipo 6 (Italy, Tier-9, MT, premium)Hidden gun stats of the Prototipo 6:
dispersion from Movement: 0.20
dispersion from Hull Rotation: 0.20
dispersion from Turret Rotation: 0.06
dispersion after Shot: 4.00

Prototipo 6 Historical Reference:

At the end of the 50s, the Italians, who showed increased interest in the Standardpanzer program, relied on their own project of a 30-ton tank with a 6-roller chassis, which was called PROTOTIPO 6. It was similar to the Standardpanzer of group A, but with its own specifics. The emphasis was on welded turrets and in-house weapon development using American experience. During development, it became obvious that the weight of the vehicle would not fit into the design size. The Italians remembered how such growth ends, so they decided not to invest extra money in their project and wait until the end of the Standardpanzer program to simply buy the finished product. Formed at the very end of the 50s, PROTOTIPO 6 was never implemented as a prototype.

U-18 T (USSR, Tier-8, Assault SPG, premium)Hidden gun stats of the U-18 T:
dispersion from Movement: 0.20
dispersion from Hull Rotation: 0.20
dispersion from Gun Rotation: 0.20
dispersion after Shot: 6.00

U-18 T Historical Reference:

On April 15, 1942, the Main Artillery Directorate of the Red Army approved the requirements for a heavy self-propelled gun, which was supposed to become a “dillbox destroyer.” The U-18 self-propelled gun project based on the KV-1 tank was developed in September of the same year at the Ural Heavy Engineering Plant under the leadership of L. I. Gorlitsky. The designers planned to install an armored cabin with an ML-20 howitzer on the KV-1 hull, but the matter did not go beyond design development.

GPT-166 (China, Tier-8, HT, premium)Hidden gun stats of the GPT-166:
dispersion from Movement: 0.28
dispersion from Hull Rotation: 0.28
dispersion from Turret Rotation: 0.20
dispersion after Shot: 6.00

GPT-166 Historical Reference:

As part of the concept of “border covering tanks”, a specialized heavy tank under the symbol GPT-166. To destroy the enemy in the folds of the terrain, he was armed with a 160-mm howitzer, which fired shells with a powerful high-explosive effect. The shells were placed in a mechanized ammunition rack (the selected shell is supplied to the dispensing window, then the loader manually loads the gun) in the housing in front of the MTO. In the armor of the frontal part of the hull they used a “wavy” surface, which was supposed to increase the likelihood of projectiles ricocheting. Work on the project did not go beyond the sketches; it was closed due to high cost.

ISU-2SH (USSR, Tier-8, Assault SPG, premium)
Hidden gun stats of the ISU-2SH:
dispersion from Movement: 0.26
dispersion from Hull Rotation: 0.26
dispersion from Gun Rotation: 0.20
dispersion after Shot: 10.00

ISU-2SH Historical Reference:

In February-March 1944, the first battles began with the participation of heavy IS tanks, during which it became clear that the armor protection of the vehicle was insufficient. Beginning in March 1944, the first studies began on options for modernizing these tanks. One of the options proposed by leading engineer N.F. Shashmurin, suggested moving the fighting compartment to the rear of the hull and modifying the chassis. However, this version of the project did not live very long: in the spring of 1944, Shashmurin was sent to Leningrad to restore the Kirov plant. As a result, work on the project was suspended.

Object 252 (USSR, Tier-8, HT, premium)
Hidden gun stats of the Object 252:
dispersion from Movement: 0.23
dispersion from Hull Rotation: 0.23
dispersion from Turret Rotation: 0.12
dispersion after Shot: 4.00

Object 252 Historical Reference:

The preliminary design of the tank took place at the design bureau of the Chelyabinsk Kirov Plant from the beginning of December 1943 until the summer of 1944. Then the work was transferred to Uralmash, where drawings and a prototype were developed. However, the tank did not have any advantages over other heavy tanks, and was also inferior in armor protection to the developed IS-4 (“Object 701”). It was not accepted for production.
