Schwertwal (🇩🇪Germany, Tier-10, HT, promotional, mechanic: rocket boosters) entered the WoT Supertest this Friday. Germany’s First Tank with Rocket Booster Mechanics
The tank features a rocket booster mechanic, which can be activated and lasts for a limited duration. Boosters have a limited number of charges — 3 per battle.
Rocket Booster Mechanics:
• Acceleration preparation time: 5 sec
• Reload time between boosts: 10 sec
• Booster duration per charge: 20 sec
• Number of booster charges: 3
• Acceleration impulse force: 50
• Impulse duration: 0.5 sec
• Engine power multiplier during boost: x2.2
• Max forward speed multiplier during boost: x1.3
• Max reverse speed multiplier during boost: x0.1
• Hull traverse speed multiplier during boost: x0.3

Reminder About the Rocket Booster Mechanic
Once activated, you won’t be able to maneuver, so timing your booster use is crucial. One of the best applications is ramming. Alternatively, you can use it to reach key positions faster than other heavy tanks.
Notably, this is Germany’s first heavy tank equipped with this mechanic. It features only 3 boosters, but each has an extended duration of 20 seconds. Unlike other vehicles with rocket boosters, this tank doesn’t lose as much maneuverability, making it more versatile in combat.
Additional Information:
• No historical background available
• Crew: 5 members — Commander, Gunner, Driver, Radio Operator, Loader
• Role: Assault Heavy Tank
• Special Equipment Category: Survivability
The rockets only give +30% top speed, so even with a turbo you’re doing 46-47 at best, three times per match. Horrible gun handling too.
Just get an IS7.
Yes, that’s right! IS7 is and remains the OG!
it just proves how OP it always has been, no powercreep on that MOFO.
op lmao
dogshit dpm, trash gun, ass gold pen, 30 ammo capacity, sluggish mobility, cant sidescrape, cheese upper plate, so op
Say what you will, but the IS7 IS META!!!
When i see three rushing is 7 in a platoon the odds of them winning even when i warn my ream is like 70% chance. They can decide the game pretty quickly if they play the cards right.
Dear God, please let the fake thing come to the next assembly hall. Then I’ll never have saved as much money as I have this year!
oh yes, that makes sense, assembly, that is place for this 😀 I’m happy to save up some more as well and skip a few next offers
Oh wow more fake shit with copy and paste mechanic
Only rockets? Bro, this tank needs cooling-mechanic, oscillating turret, 12 gun depression, mental depression, auto-loader machanic, turbo-mechanic, mechanic-mechanics, inverse-auto-re-re-REEEEloader mechanics, machine-gun-mechanics and wheels
This tank is so out of meta already only noobs will want it with so little to offer. I am disappointed WG. Such a waste. This amalgamation of a napkin-design could have been so awesome… This Game will die if we dont get tanks with new mechanics…
How muck for cooling-mechanic, oscillating turret, 12 gun depression, mental depression, auto-loader machanic, turbo-mechanic, mechanic-mechanics, inverse-auto-re-re-REEEEloader mechanics, machine-gun-mechanics and wheels tank? XD
how much you ask? all your morals… you wont be able to look at your mom who gave birth to you. but as a WG employee you’re already used to be seen as a paycheck-bringer to your family so who cares, right? just make some more tanks, be on the front of a multi-billion-dollar-company as a developer AND SELL THOSE FUCKING TANKS!
This thing looks and sounds like it was conceived during bring-your-kid-to-work-day.
Someone check my math, 39kph + 6kph + 1.27kph + 2kph(from assault class)= 48.27kph. Add in booster multiplier and we have 62.7kph top speed with booster.
Wait you Right?!?! that means a 90 tons tank is a RAM machine.
Wait wrong it 30+6+2+1.27=39.27 x 1.3= 51.051 rounds to 51.1kph
Damn my bad. I forgot the things base top speed was only 30. I agree with 51.1. The top speed needs to be 35 to 40 ish, theres literally only 3 boosts. It will never compare to kv5
it would be worth something at less
can we get a single tank without some fucking gimmick?
If I were a conspiracy theorist, I would say that WG is running out of ideas and the flame-throwing tank is already at the door… xD
