The ISU-130 tank, which is also known under the name "Object 130", participated in hostilities between the USSR and Germany. It is a heavy combat vehicle. Weapon caliber can be understood based on the main name of the technology - 130 mm. The gun, which is mounted on the tank, has the brand S-26.
The development of the machine ended in 1944. In the same period, in October, the first model was already assembled. Before the outbreak of hostilities in Europe, the tank was tested. Unfortunately, as a result of the war, the machine never entered service with the Soviet Army. This is due to the fact that the armor was much inferior to guns with 122 mm shells.
In the multiplayer game, the SU-130 (World of Tanks also has this Soviet tank in its arsenal) is a premium car, so getting it is not so easy.
Tank history
The development of the machine was led by one of the most famous designers of the time - Kotin. Initially, a decree was issued on the creation of equipment with a 122-mm and 152-mm gun of a powerful type. However, over time, the government decided to try to install 130-caliber weapons on an existing chassis. The work was successful, and already in October 1944 the first copy appeared. The first training took place in the factory, a month later, the training grounds began. Unfortunately, according to the test results, it became clear that the gun is not ready for the full amount of work. It was possible to improve it and finish all the work only by the end of the hostilities.
In 1945, the following stages of testing the ISU-130 began. The tank again could not please the developers. Problems were found with self-propelled guns; although the firepower of the machine surpassed many other Soviet models.
Chopping and hull
The case is equipped with differentiated armor protection. The crew can consist of a maximum of four to five people. Three of them are located to the left of the weapon, the places of the other two are to the right. In the event that the team includes only four, the freed space is used to accommodate another ammunition. There were three exits from the ISU-130 tank. However, one of them was used to display the sight. The crew came out thanks to a rectangular hatch, which was located at the junction of the armored deckhouse sheets, and the hole to the right of the round gun became adapted for landing.
Armament
The main weapon of the tank both in the WoT game and in reality was the S-26 gun. Mounting of this weapon took place on the frontal plate of the cabin. There was also an ISU-130 tank (the guide confirms this ), a system for blowing the sash with compressed air. The gun is capable of firing two shells per minute. The descent can be carried out in automatic mode, as well as in manual mode. Ammunition can include up to 25 shells.
For greater security, the crew also owns two machine guns. The team had about 500 rounds and 25 grenades at its disposal.
Tank characteristics in the WoT game
In service with the game is ISU-130. World of Tanks (how to get it, it will be written below) pleased fans of Soviet tanks by adding some models. Among the advantages of the machine, one can note a high level of damage from AP shells and a very strong shield mounted on the gun. However, all the pluses are limited to this.
The tank has many disadvantages. Reservation of equipment is rather weak, practically not protecting against enemy attacks, and penetration of the armor itself is at a low level. The dynamics are very weak; The accuracy of the shot is not impressive. The connection is bad, its range is too miserable. The pickup angles are small. Without a twinge of conscience, we can say that most of the other combat vehicles are much better.
The main equipment of ISU-130 includes such equipment as a fire extinguishing device, first-aid kit and repair kit. An armor-piercing kit is installed on the tank in the game. It is possible to install fragmentation guns that are suitable for the collapse of lightly armored vehicles.
You can get a tank only for merit. It is not subject to pumping, its basic set does not improve. As a rule, it is issued to moderators and volunteers from chat, social networks and forums.
Opportunities for the crew in the game
The crew of the ISU-130 tank can take advantage of various functions. Among them, it is worth noting the following:
- improved maneuverability and handling;
- high stabilization of movement;
- significantly increased viewing level;
- high speed repair of broken and damaged tank elements;
- good level of camouflage;
- increased communication range;
- reducing the chances of exploding places in which the provisions for attack are installed;
- increase the level of patency even in hard-to-reach places;
- sniper function will improve the damage done to enemy vehicles.
The main characteristics of the game
So, as already mentioned, it is impossible to buy a tank. It is promotional, that is, given as a gift to special players. The strength of the machine is 1 thousand hp. The total mass is 47 tons, and before. weight - 52 tons. The review of the tank is small - only 350 meters, and communication is transmitted at a distance of 440 m.
The crew includes four people. Among them are a commander (he can both fulfill the functions of a radio operator and be replaced by him), a gunner, a driver (aka a mechanic) and someone who charges a gun.
An engine mounted on technology is capable of squeezing 520 horsepower. The maximum speed is relatively normal - about 34 km / h. The feed of the tank is 6 cm, the side is 9 cm, the last indicator also has a forehead.
The ammunition includes 25 shells. Communication takes place on the radio 10RKM (although this is contrary to reality - according to historical information, the crew was provided with another model of a portable device). Damage is inflicted to varying degrees. As a rule, it is 490, 570 or 640 hp. The speed of vertical and horizontal guidance is the same - 26 degrees per second.
