Five brand-new American Yoh tanks are making their Tech Tree debut in World of Tanks, Commanders!

Several months ago, we announced a new line of American heavy tanks featuring the reserve track mechanic. This line generated a lot of interest, especially with regard to the tanks’ unusual appearance and gameplay. The  VIII M-IV-Y , the Premium representative of the new branch, was also made available in the Holiday Ops 2022 event.

With this unique new mechanic, it took a long time to refine the Yoh vehicles and balance their characteristics. Now, we’re ready to add this entire American heavy tank branch to the game on January 26, 2022. But before we take a closer look at the lineup, let’s start off with a brief historical background.

Yoh Tanks: An Outstanding Unreleased Project

In the 1950s, the American H.L. Yoh Company, named after its founder, American industrialist Harold L. Yoh, started developing tank concepts with unusual configurations. They inherited some of the classic features of the American tank building school, but each concept had rather non-standard shapes. One of the main features of these brand-new vehicles was a reserve track that could be used if the main one was destroyed.

We found these ideas very interesting, so we decided to accurately recreate these outstanding machines in our game. Although the Yoh tanks have never historically been embodied in metal, you can now experience the heat of battle in them, albeit virtually!

Another heated yet fun-filled Season of Ranked Battles has come to an end. So many hardened commanders fought ferociously to overcome the challenge and earn the mighty X 114 SP2 , a brand-new Tier X Chinese tank destroyer.

Now that the dust has settled on this epic Season, it’s time to sit back and absorb some stats—not to mention enjoy your well-earned rewards, which will be distributed in the next 14 days! Browse the hotly contested leaderboard via the link below to see how well you performed.
