🇬🇧 Pike (Tier IX, premium heavy tank, mechanic: 3-shell autoloader) With the release of update 2.2.1, the Pike is being tested in Random Battles by supertesters and developers.
Historical Reference:
The Pike heavy tank was intended for the British Army of the Rhine. It combined the chassis of the FV229 coastal defense tank with a turret from an unrealized West German heavy tank armed with a powerful gun. It was originally designed to counter Soviet IS-3 tanks.
Due to difficulties in cooperation between British and German manufacturers, development was significantly delayed. As a result, the fully British Conqueror was accepted into service, while Pike remained at the project stage.

Depending on the reload this thing is either gonna be super fun or completely miserable lol. I kinda like these “what if” tanks more than the copy-paste real ones sometimes. At least they try something different instead of another Soviet heavy with slightly different armor. @tag game
Thank goodness it only has a single barrelled turret. Am so fed up of multi barrelled c**p
