The new premium tank destroyer has an interesting feature that has never been noticed before.

We are talking about the armor penetration with special APCR ammo (APDS Kl / 14). Almost all shells in the game, except HEAT and HE, have a reduced armor penetration depending on the distance traveled by the shell. In the game, this distance is between 50 and 500 meters. The maximum armor penetration, even for sub-caliber shells, does not drop by more than 60 mm among all tanks in the game. In the case of the GSOR 1008, the penetration of the APCR shell may decrease by 101 mm depending on the distance.

Average armor penetration with an AP shell: 226-211 mm.
Average armor penetration with an APCR shell: 321-220 mm (depends on distance: 50-500 m).

When firing a shot up to 250 meters away from the enemy, the armor penetration can drop to ~ 270 mm. RNG should also be taken into account, as it affects the penetration by +/- 25%. Ultimately, it all significantly affects the ability to penetrate the opponent, and it is worth taking into account when shooting at more distant targets.

Most of the offers from the original leak were confirmed, and there are only 2 days left. The best, most likely tanks to be sold from the leftover ones would be the Škoda T 27 and Object 703 Version II. However, things might change – this is just a logical deduction. Here are the offers that didn’t make it to the Advent Calendar yet:

• Lansen C
• Škoda T 27
• Caernarvon Action X
• Object 703 Version II
• 3D Style “Klarer Himmel” for E 100
• 3D Style “Galahad” for FV4005

Note: this is a more in depth explanation of the previous one, from the developer stream that happened on 12 December. Didn’t have time to post it until now. More should come the following days. Link to the previous one – HERE.

Battle pass in 2021:
• The battle pass will appear cyclically, as it did now – per quarter. In 2021 we can expect three seasons (Spring, Summer, Fall), with a break in winter. The next battle pass will be started in Spring of 2021.
• The stages of the main path will be three times as long.
• The pass will be divided into three chapters, each of which will focus on a different tank, each of a different class, with the main reward being a 3D style for each of them.
• Another innovation – the 3D style will be available almost instantly, but with progress in the chapters, details will be added to it, and at the completion of a chapter it will be ‘fully detailed’.
• Players will have the choice of picking their prizes.
• Progress points will be acquirable in Ranked Battles, Frontline, and Steel Hunter.
• Progress points will be acquirable in daily missions.
• The pass will have new equipment types.
• It’s possible that LTs will be main tanks one day.

New branches in 2021:
• Italian heavy tanks with a modified auto reloading mechanism, which was already announced, and tested, and Czechoslovak heavy tanks.
• The UI for the new Italian HT mechanic will still be tweaked.
• Italian MTs won’t have the same mechanic as the HTs.
• Czechoslovak HT gameplay will be focused on armor. These vehicles will be interesting. In the nearest time, the ST will have the tier VII premium introduced, from which we’ll start the work on the branch.
• The aforementioned tank will have a standard reload mechanism.

Sandbox 2021:
• 2021 will bring a lot of changes on the Sandbox server, especially in the first half of the year. However, during the end of this Winter we plan to start the first iteration (arty changes, HE changes, Crew 2.0).
