TLDW Summary:
– [ RU ONLY ]
– 5 New, high tier vehicles: Cyclone Mk.2, Projekt SAT, FV245 Celtic, Spider, and Projet 57
– Odd tiers RU alternate UK Twin Gun HT line has been added (filling the gap from previous patch of even tiers vehicles) — it’s original double barrel mechanics (similar to RU Dual Gun HT) with prep/lock time (no double shot mode with lower top speed) — Fast prep time with average lock time
– U-18 has been rebranded as an actual TD a tier lower, instead of premium assault arty
Cyclone Mk.2 : UK Normal Tier 7 HT — Looks like a chunkier, larger ACIV sentinel tank with twin 20 pdr main guns; Armor is comparable to a medium tank and mobility isn’t stellar; plays more like a Tiger I, FV201 (A45), or Carro P.88
U-18 : RUS Prem Tier 7 TD — armor dramatically nerfed compare to assault arty from tier 8; 152mm gun performance is changed to be similar to the SU-152; sluggish performance without armor and gun handling and view range
Projekt SAT : CZE Prem Tier 8 MT — Main server import of Vz. 62 Jasan; single shot 100mm instead of autoloader with a wider/much thicker mantlet and slower mobility; Gun performance, mobility, camo, and view range seems mediocre but it is a tier lower than main server version
FV245 Celtic : UK Normal Tier 9 HT — Main sever import of FV230 Canopener chassis with stock turret matching the main server and upgraded turret featuring a large tumor of a cupola; dual 105mm main gun performance is weaker than FV229 Contender with slower mobility; upgraded cupola is somewhat troll with rounded edges and hull sides are 10mm thicker than FV230 Canopener, but driver hatch is much weaker
Spider : UK Prem Tier 9 LT — Resembling a flattened, enlarged, and elongated FV3301 Setter; Autoreloader 105mm with 2 round clip but bad accuracy, terrible DPM, and somewhat long aim time; paper armor and under performing hp/ton though camo is good as long as the vehicle is not spotted – otherwise large profile means easy hits
Projet 57 : FRN Special Tier 10 HT — 5 round 120mm autoloader comparable to AMX 50 B with worse accuracy and gun depression but faster aim time and 1 more shell in the autoloader for burst (DPM is about the same though); slower mobility but much more troll of a turret front and more HP
