The Vlkodav (“Wolfhound”) is a versatile medium tank with decent survivability and mobility. The nominal thickness of its frontal armor is 230 mm for the turret and 180 mm for the hull. The forward top speed is 50 km/h, and the specific power is 20 h.p. per ton of weight.
The main armament of the SDT-57 is a 122 mm double-barreled gun. It deals 390 HP of damage per single shot. Preparing a salvo worth 780 HP of damage takes 3 seconds, with gun stabilization increasing in the process. Reloading a single barrel takes 9 seconds and reloading both takes 18 seconds.
It bores me very much…
The other day I was just thinking when the first twin-barrelled MT will come… and here it is. But damn, 780 alpha for a MT is disguisting. If it was 2×320, it would’ve been much more adequate. Now, 2×390 is pretty much half of the HP pool of most tier 9 MTs. And the worst part is, it has armour, it’s relatively nimble and even if the soft gun stats are horrible, there’s enough equipment to semi-fix them and make the gun actually behave.
WG’s fetish for double barrel tanks continues. These are the new autoloaders except worse – an autoloader has to expose itself while it unloads its mag, these on the other hand can just dump a fat alpha shot and retreat to cover.

Guys, is this the new SFAC 105 but medium tier 9?
