Type 68 is a pumpable Japanese HT-9 with cooling mechanics in WOT.
Type 68 (Japan, HT-9, regular, mechanics: automatic hydropneumatic suspension, gun cooling) came out the day before yesterday for the WoT EU supertest. In addition to “cooling”, the tank also has hydropneumatic suspension depending on the speed of the tank. Similar mechanics are available in UDES 15/16 or STB-1.
The time in the new gun cooling mechanics that is required to obtain better accuracy is quite large [13.56 sec]. Characteristics and appearance are always in front of you. Release of the branch in early 2024.
Performance characteristics have been changed: turret protection has been reduced, firepower and mobility have been buffed.
