Self-propelled guns with unique Defensive Fire mechanics + premium status = a gunner's dream and a terrible nightmare for heavy weapons!
Hello tankers! Today we will tell you about the new Tier 8 US Premium SPG Equalizer M53 in World of Tanks. The only caveat is that it has appeared only on consoles so far and has not yet reached large tanks. It is most likely that the appearance of premium art in the computer version of the game is a matter of time, given that the mechanics are prepared and there are ready-made models with formed characteristics. In addition, this is the second premium self-propelled guns.
We have prepared a brief overview of what to expect from such developer ideas. According to the first impressions, it turned out to be very interesting and rather unusual.
The very first thing that catches your eye when looking at the Equalizer M53 is the presence of a tower of full rotation. This is definitely an application for good map control, since there is no binding to horizontal guidance angles.
Mechanics "Barrage" available when the machine is in the appropriate mode. You can also fire like a regular self-propelled gun. That is, the Equalizer M53 can switch between two firing modes.
Now a few words about the new mechanics. Of course, this is still the MLRS "Grad" or "Katyusha", but not bad, as for WoT. Barrage mode allows you to fire 4 shots with an interval of 0,75 seconds. The main nuance is that each next shot will cause less damage to the enemy than the previous one.. But on the other hand, the probability of hitting is much higher than that of classic self-propelled guns.
To better understand how this self-propelled gun works in battle, we have uploaded small demonstration videos for you:
It is noteworthy that the performance characteristics are slightly different between the classic mode and when activating the new mechanics:
Key features include:
- large one-time damage of 1250 units;
- long mixing 6 seconds;
- good mobility;
- very high armor penetration.
Taking into account all the parameters and features, this self-propelled gun clearly claims to be an imba. They will release it in the PC version of the developers when they want to make money, because 100% it will be in great demand. Perhaps it will not be sent for open sale, but will be made a reward for a difficult marathon, as was the case with a wheeled LT EBR 75 FL 10 and which next became available only a year later on the Black Market.
One can only guess how exactly the developers will present it. In the meantime, we invite you to participate in the survey and share your opinion, or write comments on how you feel about this idea.

I would like to see an old artavod in my hangar
On consoles, the art is not nerfed, you often enter a battle, it’s flashed, the art splashes, the hangar. So it’s bigger, it’s smaller... It’s completely impossible to play on the Jagdtiger and similar clumsy turtles, a tasty morsel for art, and when 4 shells fly at you, the thrill of the game becomes quadruple indescribable. Congratulations pisishniks, now it will be more fun for you to get caught in the spotlight.
"In addition, this is the second premium self-propelled guns." IMHO the third, not the second. (Brit. Sexton, French Lev.)
it meant that this is the second prem art of level 8.
Well, yes, here you really need to understand that on the consoles the art froze somewhere at the level of 2013-14 and it sharashes be healthy, so of course the input of such art shook my template a little, but in real life the devil is not as scary as he is painted, the only the hope of this art in normal damage, this is the implementation of one tank standing in the field, and even so from a full salvo it is unlikely that it will even take down half of its HP, I’m more afraid of some kind of guards or fv, because they can just do 800-900 design.
this will be the third premium art
if it comes to that, then generally the fourth premium self-propelled guns. And she is the second among 8 levels
