The Gryphon is a Tier X British heavy tank featuring a reverse autoreloader with two shells, each causing 420 HP of damage. This system ensures the tank almost always has an extra shell in reserve, enabling it to fire an additional shot at the start of engagements. Afterward, it operates like a classic single-shot tank.
This heavy shares similarities with the Concept 1B and FV4201 Chieftain Proto, offering good mobility (top speed: 43 km/h, reverse speed: 15 km/h), strong turret armor, and impressive gun depression/elevation angles (-10/+20 degrees). However, its hull armor remains mediocre, making the tank’s positioning on the battlefield crucial for success.
2930 DPM or more after you dump the 840 damage double and start having a DPM contest with the second shell, 10 gun depression, 250 or more(mantlet) turret armor, goes about 50?
I mean, It has 80 hull armor so I cant really complain, it takes the slot of a heavy tank, not crazy fast to capitalize on the gun, it only has 15kph reverse speed, gold pen is rather poor, accuracy and aim time aren’t too crazy, health is rather small.
It isn’t the greatest, but it isn’t terrible. dumping 840 damage like a bourassque safely will be nice then being able to defend yourself quickly after with nice DPM is good. you deal 1260 damage in an 11 seconds altercation.
Seems balanced
good arguments dear copy of chesphendshil, finally someone who seems to be much more reasonable than the original chesphendshil
(btw, original chesphendshil, don’t take it the wrong way but now you have competition according to the standards of the armored patrol comments 👀🌭)
Lol!!!
2930 DPM is insane for an armoured HT! Only T57 Heavy has more. Sure, the gun is not perfect, but you are an inverse autoreloader! I think the reload times should be trimmed down to 14/10 or even 15/10 to roughly maintain the full clip reload, but reduce the DPM on the 2nd shell down to 2.5k
All the comments abot super test are stupid as finaly we get trash or gem tank….
The average WG shill (who thinks themselves a “good player”) thinks the competitive DPM is 4k at this point of WoT’s life, it’s hardly surprising WG develops tanks that can please those players.
You’re completely right, the reload SHOULD be nerfed, but there are players who could not care less about balance so long as they get to win more, Gryphon was made for them.
T57 has that 1600 burst in 6 seconds, this thing has like zero hull armor so it can have aome nice stats in exchange
The people that are crying about the reload are stupid. This tank and the T57 are Auto-loaders so they can’t have a gun rammer to boost the reload. That’ll belike say the FV215b need a reload nerf for how fast it is. If anything this tank need a damage buff because the gun is the t95/FV4201 Chieftain. All the penetrations (but the HE need buff to the Chieftains pen of 140 or at least 120) and shell velocity’s are perfect. Aim time and accuracy is on point for a Auto-loader. The top speed, power/weight, and both traverse are balance for a heavy tank at tier 10. The HP is the second lowest HP with 116-F3, AMX 50B, OBJ 260, and the VZ 55. Armor is good on the turret, but not immune to getting pen, and Hull armor is weak meaning you have to keep distance to not loss HP. View range is good for the current game ( all heavies at all tiers need view range nerf). The only thing bad about this tank is the reverse speed that is good. We don’t know the Dispersion factors, Terrain resistance, and the armor model.
Update we do have the armor model for the turret. they are reusing the Concept 1B turret, so if you want to see how the tank will be like. Just use the concept tank model. The hull is something new I think I’ll be looking in to it more but I still stand by my point earlier.
Update Again the hull is literally the FV4201 Chieftain PROTO hull. so we know what the tank model looks like so have fun putting the two tank together.
They fkn even gave up on finding C names, uh?
Nah, they will rename it to Cattoilet or sth
Still better than calling it something utterly nonsensical like Contradictious or Canopener.
“This heavy shares similarities with the Concept 1B and FV4201 Chieftain Proto”
Of course it does. It’s literally the Concept 1B turret on the Chieftain Proto hull.
