Today we will look at the premium tank, which will appear very soon in Word of Tanks. Namely, the Soviet heavy tank "Object 777", option II.
Wot
Now only the lazy have not heard of such an online game as World of Tanks (WoT). Some even played it. The Belarusian team Wargaming released a game that became an absolute hit, and in the shortest time. For this game, they even entered the Guinness Book of Records. WoT championships are held all over the world, and the amount of reward for first place in the championship is just off scale. WoT has many different tanks: from light to heavyweight.
One of the reasons for the success was the unusual setting of the game. Unlike other MMOs, it does not have magic, elves and other things, but there are brutal and powerful varieties of military equipment. Plus, the presence of self-propelled artillery and anti-tank mounts adds to the gameplay.
Well, the lack of a hard “donat” also played a role - the game is free, and you can’t get an advantage over opponents for real money. A premium account only slightly simplifies the pumping of crew and equipment.
A brief history of the tank
The tank began to be developed in 1952. The prototype for it was the already well-established serial "IS-8." Unlike his forefather, the “Object 777” was supposed to have a cast armored hull and an engine with air or water cooling. Also, the motor was supposed to be located not along the hull (like most tanks of that time), but across. Due to this, it was planned to expand the fighting compartment.
Unfortunately, like many other pieces of equipment, after many changes and improvements the tank was built only in the form of a model with a scale of 1:10. Before the release of even an experimental prototype, the matter did not reach. The USSR Ministry of Heavy Industry stated that, due to the complexity of production, it has no practical benefit. In 1954, the project was frozen for an unknown time.
And now, the guys from Wargaming decided to make this prototype a premium tank of the tenth level. On the technical characteristics of the tank "Object 777" in the game World of Tanks, read on.
Tank specifications in WoT
This machine is currently only available in supertest mode. Apparently, her playing characteristics are somewhat similar to the IS-4, which is somewhat strange, because in real life the IS-8 served as a prototype for her. In general, judge for yourself. Here are brief specifications:
- Penetration of armor with BB shell: 258.
- Damage: 440.
- Damage per Minute: 1995.
- Cooldown: 13,233.
- Maximum distance: 720.
- Overview: 390.
- Communication Distance: 850.
- Firing accuracy: 0.374.
- Aiming Time: 2.88.
- Engine power: 850.
- Weight: 49800.
As for the armor of the Object 777 tank, there are weaknesses here, like the usual heavy Soviet tank. Very well penetrates the top of the tower. This is where the armor is the thinnest. And of course, the "harp" (caterpillars). Immobilizing the tank is very simple by direct contact with the rollers. The speed of rotation of the tower here will not help.
Judging by the characteristics, the developers exactly copied the technical data of the original. And this is pretty good. With these parameters, it will be quite a powerful premium tank. Perhaps, after the supertest, some characteristics will be corrected for balance, but the main ones will still remain. For most World of Tanks players, the Object 777 will be a rather difficult machine to control. But the game is worth the candle.
How can I get "Object 777"
How and for what it will be possible to get such a premium tank has not yet been announced, and there is no information on this topic on the official Wargaming website. But the forums are already seething with passion.
Some believe that the tank will be a reward for some "special merits." But most assume that it can simply be bought for money at the World of Tanks premium technology store. And according to other players, the combat vehicle will not reach the game at all. We’ll wait and see how the epic with “Object 777” ends. How to get this miracle is not quite clear yet.
In any case, you will have to wait for an official statement from the developers of Wargaming. But, even if this instance is made promotional, it can still be bought at the store. So don’t be upset.
A few words about WoT
Now the popularity of World of Tanks is rapidly declining. And this is the "merit" of the developers. After changes in the balance of tanks it became completely impossible to play. Many old players permanently deleted the game client. Now, VBR (Great Belarusian Random) writes such a pretzel that it’s scary to watch. For example, some newcomer to the stock (standard) configuration technique will penetrate the tank, which has been improved in all respects, through and through. And I want to exclaim: gentlemen, developers, where is this seen? And this is only one of the great many drawbacks of modern WoT. It is not surprising that only ardent fans remained in the game. It also contributes to the emergence of many other similar games.
Conclusion
In the world of World of Tanks, with each update, more and more novelty. This is expressed in the balance of tanks, in the emergence of new technology and much more. The premium tank "Object 777" is likely to be available in the store and for money. For equipment of the tenth level, it has good parameters. Nothing is known about its price.
