Supertest – A German with Mexican Roots – HWK 30

~ Sebastianul

Commanders,

Today we’re launching the Supertest for two new vehicles, the HWK 30 and the T95/FV4201 Chieftain. They are, respectively, a German Premium Tier VIII light tank and a British reward Tier X heavy.
Let’s take a closer look at the HWK 30!

Though this tank is assigned to the German nation, it has Mexican roots. The original was a joint project by Mexico’s Secretariat of National Defense and German tank makers—like the HWK 12 which is already present in the game.

In terms of gameplay, the HWK 30 will fill in the gap between the Ru 251 and the HWK 12, being a mobile vehicle with an excellent spotting range and comfortable firing parameters. The speed of the basic round should be singled out: a whopping 1080 m/s! As you might’ve guessed, the HWK 30 has no armor to speak of, and possesses a modest HP pool: it’s a light tank after all, brave and unassuming. Or crafty, depending on circumstances.

On the battlefield, the HWK 30 works well as a mid-to-long-range scout, due to its spotting and camo combined with outstanding mobility. You may deal some damage, too, especially from the hills’ back slopes: the gun depression allows it, and lack of armor sort of hints you should retreat from enemy fire. To sum up, the HWK 30 is your typical German LT: it survives by being agile and not approaching the frontline and may occasionally bite some HP off an enemy (most likely, by sniping).

Supertest – The T 55A and The Object 260

~ Sebastianul ~ 23 Comments

Hi tankers,

Today we start the Supertest of the Object 260 and the T 55A. Our intention is to make these vehicles up to date again. Their status demands that they should play as reward tanks earned by performing hard and complex tasks. The T 55A will receive improved turret armor, close to the one that the Soviet T-54 has after the HD update. The gun will gain in firepower and in parameters, that are responsible for enjoyable play. The tank’s mobility will increase, too.

The Object 260 will become tougher and meaner. The turret protection will be bolstered (first of all, in the gun mantlet’s area). We’ll also increase the firepower; improved stabilization and rate of fire will make a nice bonus for those who managed to achieve the top reward of the personal missions Season one.

The stats are not final and may change depending on Supertest results and feedback. Please follow the news and best of luck in every battle!

Supertest News – Two Shades of Kharkov

~ Sebastianul

Hi tankers!

Today we’re starting the Supertest of two modified Kharkov map prototypes. Both have their playable parts enlarged, and this should make the map more enjoyable to play on vehicles of every class and tier.

The Supertest versions differ in both city and open parts.

One version has less passages and shoot-throughs in the city area. These changes are to facilitate navigation and make the zone for heavily armored brawlers more pronounced. The open part was enlarged here. It has more cover and shoot-throughs.

Supertest – The M41D

Hey, tankers!

Today we’re launching the Supertest of the M41D, a variant of the Bulldog sitting in the Chinese tree. We’re going to make it a Tier VIII Premium light tank. Stats-wise, it will be close to the original; the main differences are a slightly better gun, a bit slower acceleration, and a tad shortened spotting range. Thus, the vehicle will be similar to other Chinese LTs which tend to place firepower over mobility.

To sum up, it’s the same lovable good old Bulldog: excellent gun depression and good maneuverability, together with a large frame, only that this one is more of a damage dealer.

Depending on the test results, the stats of the M41D may change.

Stay tuned and Roll Out! :great:

Supertest – The Emil 1951

post-540077471-0-28261300-1538732882

Commanders,

Today marks the beginning of the Supertest for a Viking newcomer: the Emil 1951, a Tier VIII Premium Swedish heavy with an autoloader. Gameplay-wise, it’s an ‘Emil I Lite’: the Emil 1951 has less armor than its progression counterpart but is more mobile. There’s one less round in the barrel of the Emil 1951, but its aiming parameters are better and it shoots faster than the Emil I.

Supertest: SU-130PM (+STATS)

~ Veroxx ~ 78 Comments

UPDATED WITH STATS.

Today we are starting to close tests of the new Soviet Tier VIII tank destroyer, the Su-130PM. While working on its statistics, we used the SU-100P as a starting point. The SU-100P was a post-war prototype of a light tank destroyer, which was to gradually displace the SU-76M in service. The fully operational vehicle passed the tests, and the SU-100P got the green light to serve in the army, but the tank destroyer did not enter mass production. The test unit is at the moment in the Kubinka tank museum.

New tier 8 premium (light) TD.
