Hybrids of Soviet and German cars have already gone for testing, and the developers have shown the concept of a new branch.
Hello tankers! With you Wotpack and a new branch of Polish medium tanks in World of Tanks. The developers announced the first information about the technique, what to expect from it and what kind of gameplay will be inherent. We can already get acquainted with the changed development tree of Poland, the approximate type of tanks (the models are not final yet) and the formed conceptual vision.
The ST branch is researched at 14TP and starts at level 5:
It is also planned to release a Tier 8 Premium Tank for this branch. Most likely it will come out even earlier than the rest of the technique.
5 level DS PZlnz-I
Work on DS PZlnz-I were conducted at the end of the 30s, but they were not destined to end due to the invasion of German troops. It is from this machine that the gameplay of the ST begins to take shape: at the expense of booking, dynamics and maneuverability increase.
6 level BUGI
The car with the funny name "Boogie" matches it with its appearance. Other than that, she's nothing special to remember. As the developers say, BUGI does not have any outstanding advantages, but is also devoid of tangible shortcomings. Apparently, it will be just a passing technique.
7 level CS-44
Here we are met by a medium tank, already fully formed in terms of performance characteristics and gameplay CS-44. Good mobility and a 100 mm gun at this level are not bad at all. At the same time, it has comfortable vertical guidance angles, so it can hide the hull and play from the turret.
8 level CS-53
У CS-53 there is a similarity with the T-44, because Polish engineers in the early 50s were inspired by Soviet developments. Differs in a small silhouette and good UVN. Good firepower positions itself as a support vehicle, feels especially confident in hilly terrain.
8 level CS-52 (prem tank)
Here, the option is already more interesting, since here the Poles focused on the layout technologies of serial T-54s in order to take it as a basis. At the same time, they CS-52 improved some aspects:
- large one-time damage;
- better, the UVN will allow him to win back in positions that the T-54 never dreamed of.
Perhaps the developers will still swap the "eight" in terms of status: pumped / premium.
9 level CS-59
So far, there is little information on this tank, they only said that CS-59 logical development of the previous tank, but:
- increased booking;
- increased the caliber of the gun;
- have become better UVN.
10 level CS-63
Top branches already looks badass. It has a welded hull + a cast turret, so it will often catch ricochets. They are going to make good frontal armor for the turret + comfortable elevation angles. This will allow him to actively play and shoot damage where other medium tanks cannot.
But main feature this tank will become new mechanics with engine change mode: speed и normal. We can observe something similar with Swedish tank destroyers, since here, when switching to high-speed mode, the stabilization of the gun worsens (for French wheeled LTs, acceleration turns on immediately, but here you have to wait 2 seconds).
In speed mode CS-63 receives a significant increase in dynamics, which will allow you to overtake even light tanks. The mechanics have not yet been completely finished, options are being considered to disable the influence of crew skills and equipment in high-speed mode.
Results
The new technique took all the best from German and Soviet medium tanks, but at the same time it does not burn from penetration into the forehead and has good UVN. The firepower is solid, the survivability is based on the game from the terrain, the tower will tank normally. At the same time, they threw in an unusual mechanic with acceleration (apparently, so that the charioteers would not be so bored driving around the map).
