TS-60: How the American Tank Destroyer Got Nerfed in Supertest
The TS-60 is a Tier IX American tank destroyer that is available as a promo vehicle in World of Tanks. It has a powerful gun, good mobility, and decent armor. However, in fourth iteration of supertest, the TS-60 got nerfed, as it received a reduction of its characteristics, greater than the AP had in the second iteration of the tank. In this article, we’ll show you how the TS-60 changed and what it means for its performance.
Firepower: Lower Damage, Penetration, and Rate of Fire
The TS-60 is equipped with a 120 mm gun, which can fire three types of shells: AP, CS, and HP. Each shell has different characteristics, such as damage, penetration, and velocity. The damage of a shell is the amount of hit points it can take away from an enemy tank. The penetration of a shell is the ability to pierce through the armor of an enemy tank. The velocity of a shell is the speed at which it travels in the air.
The TS-60 received a nerf to its gun, which lowered the damage, penetration, and rate of fire of its shells.
Here are the changes in detail:
- The gun loading time increased from 7.19 to 8.53
- The gun rate of fire decreased from 8.34 to 7.03
- The dispersion per 100 m decreased from 0.40 to 0.38
- The movement dispersion (max.) increased from 0.20 (7.00) to 0.25 (8.75)
- The dispersion from chassis rotation (max.) increased from 0.20 (5.84) to 0.25 (7.30)
- The average damage per minute of the AP shell decreased from 3,338 to 2,813
- The average damage per minute of the APCS shell decreased from 3,338 to 2,813
- The average damage per minute of the HP shell decreased from 4,297 to 3,621
These changes made the TS-60 less powerful and effective, as it can now deal less damage and penetration to different types of enemies. The TS-60 also has a lower rate of fire and accuracy, which makes it harder to hit and damage the targets. The TS-60 is a tank destroyer that can struggle to deal damage, and it’s a less attractive choice for players who like high-damage gameplay.
Mobility: Lower Engine Power and Specific Power
The TS-60 has good mobility, as it can move fast and maneuver well on the battlefield. The mobility of a tank depends on its engine power, specific power, and weight. The engine power is the amount of force that the engine can produce. The specific power is the ratio of the engine power to the weight of the tank. The weight of the tank is the sum of the weight of the hull, chassis, and modules.
The TS-60 also received a nerf to its mobility, as it received a lower engine power and specific power.
Here are the changes in detail:
- The engine power decreased from 850 to 800
- The specific power decreased from 15.45 to 14.55
- The hull weight changed from 32,481 to 32,470
- The chassis weight changed from 8,865 to 8,861
- The tank weight changed from 55,015 to 55,000
These changes made the TS-60 less mobile and agile, as it can now accelerate and turn slower. The TS-60 also has a lower top speed and traverse speed, which makes it harder to position and reposition on the map. The TS-60 is a tank destroyer that can have trouble moving and maneuvering, and it’s a less appealing choice for players who like fast and agile gameplay.
Conclusion: How the TS-60 Got Nerfed in fourth iteration of supertest

The TS-60 now has lower damage, penetration, rate of fire, accuracy, engine power, and specific power. These changes made the TS-60 less powerful, effective, mobile, and agile.
