WoT Blitz – Japanese Tank Destroyers

~ Sebastianul ~ 9 Comments

Source: WoT Blitz Portal

Big, protected, surprisingly mobile, and armed with powerful guns firing a special set of shells, the game’s first Japanese tank destroyers will immediately make you respect them. And when the four new tank destroyers enter the battle, no one will survive their onslaught. Learn about them now and prepare to research a new Tier X vehicle!

The top guns of the Japanese tank destroyers can fire two types of AP shells. The main AP shell for each new vehicle features high penetration and devastating damage. The improved AP shell has lower damage, but it can penetrate practically all enemies.

Tier VII. Chi-To SPG

Researched after the Chi-To for 43,400. Cost: 1,345,000.

Many enemy shells will simply bounce off this tank destroyer’s armor, especially if they’re fired from medium or long range. Considering its great armor, the mobility of the Chi-To SPG is inspiring. Its suspension, taken from a medium tank, has a max speed of 45 km/h, a high power-to-weight ratio, and decent maneuverability. Continue reading “WoT Blitz – Japanese Tank Destroyers” →

Supertest: Strv K Initial Stats

~ Sebastianul ~ 12 Comments

Today’s the day for a new challenger to enter the Supertest fray: the Strv K, a Swedish Tier IX heavy.

With a British Centurion turret attached to a Swedish Kranvagn hull, it’s very much a hybrid vehicle. The Strv K is outfitted with a modified 105-mm L7 gun, capable of dealing an average of 390 damage points with a single shot. The standard APCR round can go through 249 mm of enemy armor, and the special APCR round can penetrate 298 mm. The gun’s accuracy (0.35) and its aiming time (1.8 seconds) is rather noteworthy too. The Strv K takes 10.6 seconds to reload and has a decent view range of 400 m.

What isn’t decent for a heavy, it’s the new hero’s hull protection: the Strv K has only 90 mm of armor at the front so be careful what you expose to an enemy. The turret is way sturdier, with up to 254 mm of armor; together with a gun depression of –10 degrees, this hints at a certain playstyle. The HP pool of the Strv K is neither great nor terrible (1,850 points) but its specific power (14.9 hp per tonne) and top speed (40 km/h) are both close to the ‘great’ part of the spectrum.

The dynamics of the Strv K allow it to occupy great firing positions early (ideally those covering its softer areas). The turret armor and the gun depression make it possible for the Swede to excel at terrain-based play—with stable damage output thanks to its reliable gun.
