WoT: Meet the Gryphon

The brand-new British 2-shell reverse autoreloader combines flexibility and aggression. Equipped with a 43 km/h top speed, 10° of gun depression, and situational armor, this new addition to your Garage can take on heavy and medium tank duties. Take a closer look at its unique strengths and combat profile:

Key Features

• Smart Firepower: The Gryphon’s 420-alpha, two-shell reverse autoreloader gives you options. Unleash both shells for a quick burst to punish exposed enemies, and then keep poking with single shots. The unique gun mechanic loads the first shell faster than the second, so you can easily maintain a constant damage output.

• Hold the High Ground: Equipped with a strong turret and generous gun depression, the Gryphon excels at ridgeline engagements. Its small turret profile minimizes exposure while the hull remains protected behind cover.

• Heavy by Name, Agile by Nature: With mobility that rivals slower mediums, the Gryphon can relocate quickly, outmaneuver bulkier heavies, and even join medium packs when needed. This versatility opens up new flanking options and support roles.

Tactical Tips

• Master Your Gunplay: Open with a double-shot burst to surprise and overwhelm your first target, then keep up the pressure by switching to cyclic single shots. The inverse mechanic reloads the first faster than the second, so there is no need to wait if the situation allows you to chip away at enemy armor. Once the battlefield calms down, reload both shells and prepare to repeat the punishment on your next unsuspecting foe.

• Terrain Is Your Armor: Your hull is vulnerable, but your turret can hold up in the right positions. Stick to ridgelines, slopes, and uneven ground where you can hide your lower plate and use that gun depression to peek and punish.

• Play the Role Your Team Needs: In some matches, you will anchor a flank like a true heavy tank. In others, you will roll across the map with mediums, outpacing enemy heavies and supporting breakthroughs. Use your mobility to switch gears fast and carry late games or shift pressure points. But don’t get overconfident! You are still a heavy at heart, and diving too deep can cost you.
