Named after a Slavic deity, the Object Veles is a Soviet Tier X heavy tank, and a classic example of an assault one. It has everything needed to hold positions and push directions: excellent hull and turret armor (with nominal values of 350 mm and 320 mm at the front), plus a gun with high one-time damage (700 HP).
Its great protection and massive gun come at the cost of poor mobility (the top forward speed is 28 km/h) and subpar gun handling. That said, these drawbacks become far less significant when the tank is in the right place at the right time.
Other notable stat values for the Object Veles are its HP pool (2,500 HP), maximum gun depression angle (–7°), and HE round penetration (90 mm).
Dravec turret? This never looks great to face. And also 350 HULL ARMOUR?? What the heck? I hope the lower plate is ~230-250 effective so you can do anything
Nyet. Slavs want Tier IX premium Ruskie light tank. Da. Nyet, nyet, Ruskies already have many heavy tanks at high tiers, Ruskies want Tier XI light tank, and Tier IX heavy premium tank that is stronk compared to Objekt 705. Da. Slavs need Tier IX premium heavy tank crew trainer for Objekt 705A with one cannon, rear mounted turret, -5 degrees of gun depression at most, and side scrapes quite well… only on a city maps. Da, da, Mikhal, Vasily, da… we need Ketel One, and find Natasha as she does have a flask of our Ketel One. Da… HOOY!
“Assault Tank” with 28km/h… phahahah
