Type 57: a new researchable Tier VIII Japanese heavy tank
Type 57 begins the new branch of Japanese heavies. Like its Tier IX and Tier X “descendants”, the Type 57 has the new double aiming (gun cooling) mechanic. After the reload, players can take the next shot immediately with mediocre dispersion (0.42 m at 100 m) and potentially get a higher DPM. Alternately, players can wait for the gun to cool off; the longer you wait, the lower the dispersion becomes.
