For the first time in WoT, "Hunting" will be for bots in a new PvE event. First details.
Hello tankers! Wotpack is with you and we are in a hurry to announce the good news about the May marathon for a heavy Soviet premium tank of level 7 IS-2 Shielded. There is little information yet, but it is known that the meaning will be like in the usual "Hunt" - you go through the stages and get discount up to 100%. There is not enough time to pass or there is no desire to get confused with tasks, then you can, as always, just donate.
The game PvE event is called "Road to Berlin" and as the name implies, we have to take the German capital by storm. Having united with other players, it will be necessary to open the enemy defenses under the command of artificial intelligence. Battles will take place on three old maps, specially redesigned for this mode, and one new map - Berlin. Below you can find out where you have to fight:
Even the Normandy from the Front Line migrated here:
According to the developers, we will not be bored, so the AI has been strengthened (it turns out that at the “Last Frontier” they were dissatisfied with its complexity). The gameplay promises to be more exciting and dynamic.
As mentioned at the beginning, the main reward will be a Soviet heavy tank IS-2 shielded. IS-2 participated in the capture of Berlin, it is he who is depicted against the backdrop of the Brandenburg Gate in the famous photograph of those events:
But in the game, this tank is “shielded”, in this case it is a makeshift way to increase protection by welding gratings. Now let's move on to the performance characteristics in the game:
In many ways, this is a complete copy of the upgraded IS with a 122 mm D-25T gun. Therefore, it has big alpha as for his level, but pays for it long mixing and poor accuracy. Let's look at the main differences:
- IS2-E due to the screens, it has more reliable armor and, accordingly, better survival. Screens will protect against land mines and cumulatives:
- due to increased armor, mobility suffered, so the dynamics are slightly worse;
- the grate on the turret blocks the commander's visibility, so the viewing radius is 10 meters less.
The car will definitely look interesting in random, because the usual IS lacked survivability so much.
