Object 703 Version II Black Edition
- Tier: VIII
- Nation: U.S.S.R
- Class: Heavy Tank
As players know very well, the sloped turret of Object 703 II hosts two guns and, for this reason, this tank is a real menace for all opponents. In addiction, the Obj 703 II has a thick upper front armor and a strong turret with an almost decent depression for this kind of Soviet Era tank.
Dual-Barrel Mechanics
Dual-barrel tanks will have unique firing mechanics and HUD to communicate the status of each gun and the firing mode selected.
Loading:
- Each gun will reload independently, with only one loading at a time.
Shooting:
- Dual barrel tanks have two firing modes that players can swap between during battle. To change modes, press the “Alt Mode” button. Generally this is Left on the D-Pad for most control schemes and Down on the D-Pad for the Driver control scheme.
- Single Fire (Default)
- After shooting the current gun, it will automatically switch to the next one. This is so you don’t keep holding the “Swap Gun” button after every shot to change to the other gun.
- You can still manually swap guns, if you wish, by holding the “Swap Gun” button.
- There will be a short delay before you can fire the second gun.
- Double Shot
- Both barrels will be fired at the same time.
- There is a short delay before you can fire again if you switch to single fire after shooting both guns.
- Single Fire (Default)
1st Single Fire Mode Icon/2nd Double Shot Mode Icon
New HUD for dual-barrel vehicles
- There will be two reload bars representing each gun so players can see the current reloading/loaded status of each.
- At the bottom of each reload bar is a little arrow indicator to show which gun is the current active gun. If in double shot mode, both will have a yellow arrow.
- Both modes have an icon displayed to the left of the ammunition display to show which mode is currently selected.
- Reload bar status
- Black: Gun is empty

Gameplay Tips
In conclusion, this tank is really a short-range damage expert who can quickly melt away many targets with a double barreled shot.
- Hide the lower hull and keep the front always pointed toward the enemy.
- Play according to your opponent’s proximity and switch between firing modes as needed.
- Be patient, soak up the damage, and hold the line while your allies flank the enemy team.
