Soviet technology has always been a little outrageous and was famous for its "turns", but nothing compares to the ability to bang at the enemy with a doublet, causing devastating damage from a double shot.
Hello tankers! So it happened, the expected lot is a Soviet premium double-barreled shotgun Object 703 option 2 sold in holiday calendar for 10 gold in World of Tanks. This is a Tier 600 heavy premium tank, created specifically for the double-barreled tank branch, so it also has the mechanics of twin guns, which allows it to shoot like a regular tank in reload mode or immediately shoot with a “double shot” (double shot).
TTX Object 703 option 2
It is worth considering that the crew of Ob. 703 option 2 consists of 5 people (2 loaders).
Overview Object 703 option 2
At the disposal of the tank two 122 mm guns with good alpha and good armor penetration. Due to twin guns, it has a low turret traverse speed, but due to good stabilization he is almost always ready to shoot from the "turn".
The accuracy is the same as that of the Defender, but the aiming time is slightly longer, which is a characteristic feature of all double-barreled shotguns.
Damage per minute is basically normal, but everything is relative here, since depending on the shooting (single or double shot) there will be different recharge: time for switching the gun (5 sec.), blocking (4 sec.) and preparing a volley (3 sec.).
The survivability of this tank is extremely ambiguous. Reservation of the hull, in contrast to IS-3 и "Defender" devoid of the "pike nose" in the frontal projection, it is replaced by a solid plate at an angle of 60 degrees.
Taking into account the reduction, the VLD can tank shells up to 280 mm and play from the sides, which have additional protection in the form of screens. The turret is relatively strong, the hatches are small, but it makes its way into the gun mantlet (between the guns) from 230 mm.
Mobility does not stand out: better than IS-6 и "Defender", but slightly worse than IS-3 with M3. Due to the large mass, it accelerates a little hard, but it keeps the speed confidently, the maneuverability is rather poor. The review, of course, is a typical "Achilles' heel" for "scoops" - useless 350 meters, therefore, radio interception, an eagle eye are demanding on the pumped perks, and sound intelligence will not be superfluous (therefore, experience will have to be poured into the commander decently).
Results
Object 703 option 2 is considered one of the most iconic tanks of the modern random. He is loved for the opportunity to strike a devastating damage with a double shot is about 780 units for a short period of time. Previously, he had no equal in this among heavyweights, but now the Czechoslovakian can argue Skoda T 56 with a very fast reload between shots.
Players like the premium Soviet “double-barreled gun” primarily for its firepower, but the mechanics of twin guns is captivating, so you can turn a blind eye to flaws in the armor and mediocre mobility. The technique is more for fun, yet it will be easier to perform conditional LBZ on Object 254U "Defender" due to greater survival.
