Supertest: Bofors Tornvagn (Initial Stats)

~ Sebastianul ~ 22 Comments

The Tier VIII Swedish Bofors Tornvagn heavy tank has been sent to the closed Supertest stage.The vehicle has a 120mm gun with 400 damage per shot. The standard APCR shell penetrates 248mm, while the special APCR shell penetrates 297mm. The shell velocity is comfortable, but it is worth remembering that APCR shells lose their penetration rate a little more with distance than AP shells. The gun has an accuracy of 0.45, an aiming time of 2s, and a reloading speed of 14s.

The turret has an unusual design. The nominal armour thickness reaches 280mm in the turret and 260mm in the hull. The gun depression elevation angles are impressive at -10/20 deg. The vehicle has 1,600HP. Its top speed is 32km/h and the power-to-weight ratio is 11.6h.p./t.

The Bofors Tornvagn is a tank that will perform well among terrain irregularities thanks to its good gun elevation/depression angles, and its rather powerful gun should help deal with any enemy. However, the relatively slow turret and hull traverse speed can make it an easy target for manoeuvrable vehicles, so you should stick with your allies.

Additional Statistics

Dispersion during turret rotation – 0.25
Gun dispersion during hull movement – 0.11
Gun dispersion during hull traverse – 0.11
Dispersion after shot – 4
Shell Velocities – 1000/1450/680
Terrain Resistances – 1.2/1.3/2.1

First of all, we express our sincere gratitude for your engagement in testing Crew 2.0 in the Sandbox. Thank you very much for your feedback, time, and involvement. Participation of the community in the Sandbox and your input across all online platforms, enabled us to collect a significant amount of data and feedback.

What’s going on right now?

As of now, no decision has been made regarding the future of Crew 2.0. Currently we continue to process the data we have collected that will help to guide our future decisions. We have a lot to do, and we will be updating you on further developments as we work out specific solutions.

What’s next?

One thing you can be certain of—the new crew system will not be released to live servers for at least half a year.

Once we have processed all the data, we will need time to elaborate potential changes based on your feedback and collected information, then test them. All decisions regarding Crew 2.0 will be communicated and tested together with the community. This was, and still remains, the main condition for the release of the feature.

Our deepest gratitude to everyone who contributed to Crew 2.0, shared their feedback, and helped us to improve this feature.

WoT: Spirit of War Challenge

~ Sebastianul ~ 8 Comments

Together with our great friends from Sabaton—the Swedish masters of heavy metal—we proudly present “Steel Commanders”, a brand-new video and song dedicated to those who took armor to battle throughout the history of humankind. The video also marks the beginning of our new special collaboration with Sabaton that includes an event with a one-of-a-kind prize for you to seize. Look and listen!

Wait, what IS that tank in the video?

If you weren’t so carried away by the song that you closed your eyes, you must’ve seen the Spirit of War empowering an imposing tank. And you’re probably asking, “Is it coming to the game? Should I want it?“

Yes. That Sabaton-crewed steed, the Strv K, is METAL in every sense. And while it was forged in the tank spirit realm, it will come back down to World of Tanks to materialize as the one-of-a-kind Tier IX Premium, bearing the Spirit of War 3D style.

So, you absolutely want it! And you will have a chance to prove you deserve it by taking on the Spirit of War challenge, following the way of either virtue of metal: mastery or commitment.

Why should I want the Strv K?

Along with being the first-ever Tier IX Premium with all the bonuses that apply (like bonus to credits and Crew XP per battle), the Strv K is a well-rounded heavy with a sturdy turret and precise gun with an excellent depression angle. On top of that, the Strv K allows you to earn bonds, which previously used to be a Tier X-only feature.

This Swede is crewed by Sabaton members and voiced by frontman Joakim Brodén. The Spirit of War 3D style, developed together with the band, adds a custom Sabaton soundtrack and features unique dynamic effects—the Spirit of War enters the tank after the countdown ends and shimmers from the inside out over the course of the battle, just like it does in the music video.
