Have you checked out the Auction yet? Today is your last chance to get a new and exclusive high-tier Premium vehicle! The last lot is available until February 19, so take the chance and outbid the competition for this exceptional offer.
T54 Heavy Tank
The final lot is the brand-new T54 Heavy Tank—a new addition to the beloved collection of American heavies that know how to make trouble on the battlefield.
Let’s see why this rookie should roll straight from the Auction into your collection!
Firepower
The T54 Heavy Tank is fitted with “only” a 120 mm cannon, but it can easily hold its own against peers with larger calibers. The impressive 450 HP of alpha damage proves that size doesn’t matter, and a 240 mm penetration value will get the job done. Just get close to your target to account for the high dispersion value and watch enemy HP melt away.
The most remarkable feature of the new heavy tank’s armament is the exceptionally high 12 degrees of gun depression—a top value for its class and tier. Hull-down gameplay is as easy as (apple) pie aboard this American brawler, and every pile of gravel or ridgeline makes for excellent cover.
The 2.8-second aiming time and mediocre turret traverse don’t allow for quick potshots, so it’s best to find your spot on the map, hunker down, and wait for opponents to draw in.
Survivability
The T54 Heavy Tank’s solid 400-meter view range lets you keep an eye on the battle and prevent surprise flanking opponents. Awareness of your surroundings is important as the American heavy doesn’t have the armor one would expect—especially on its sides. The 1,700 HP pool isn’t that deep, either, so it’s best to avoid trading shots and full-on brawls.
The T54 is meant to be a speed bump on the battlefield—an obstacle to stop a breakthrough and defend key positions. The 254 mm frontal turret armor is good enough to bounce incoming shells by medium and even heavy tank opponents. But keep the large and weakly armored cupola in mind. It’s a popular target, so it’s better to take a position that keeps it hidden.
Mobility
The T54 Heavy Tank delivers on what its name suggests: It’s a heavy tank, and its mobility is on par with its peers. The 34 km/h top speed, adequate terrain resistance, and a sufficient power-to-weight ratio will get you in a good position on the battlefield. But the low tank traverse speeds will make it hard to retreat or avoid being outmaneuvered by more agile adversaries.
Try to stay together with other heavy tanks so you can provide cover for each other.
