Get ready to throw around some serious weight with nine new Japanese tanks starting October 6. Give ’em a try on the new maps “Heilbronn” and the “Rain” variant of Karelia!

Imperial Heavy Strike

---

Heavy:

• Type 89 I-Go / Chi-Ro, Type 91, Type 95, O-I Experimental

Japan’s heavy tank line starts with the tier III Type 91. Use high-explosive (HE) and armor-piercing (AP) rounds for great effect, but take account of its unsloped armor; a common trait among low-tier heavy tanks.
The O-I Experimental is when things start to get interesting… and big! This tier V heavy tank dwarfs the KV-1 and KV-220-2, and more than matches them in firepower with a selection of brutal guns and howitzers.

October is a favorite month for many, because it’s when the monsters come out! And not just out on the streets or under your bed — they’re headed to World of Tanks!
Watch out for the Kaiju O-I, a never-before-seen creature from the depths; the agile Lycan T71; the ultra-exclusive three-headed Gorynych KV-5, and Hauptmann Karl Revenant Kraft’s Panther, a formidable sharpshooter from the World of Tanks: Roll Out! comic series!
Get any of these monsters in the new Store bundles, or new “Monster Hunter” Operations, where you can acquire one with your hunting skills!
