World of Tanks: SU-122V, a New Soviet Tank Destroyer with Siege Mode
Do you want to know more about the SU-122V, a new Soviet Tier IX tank destroyer with a premium mechanic of hydropneumatic suspension? Then you should read this article and learn about the features and characteristics of this tank, which is based on a project from the 1960s.
The SU-122V has a siege mode, similar to the Swedish tanks. The siege mode is activated by a button and it allows the tank to adjust its gun depression and elevation, as well as its speed and mobility. The siege mode is useful for sniping and hiding behind cover, but it also makes the tank more vulnerable and less maneuverable.
The SU-122V was released on Thursday for testing at the WoT supertest, along with other tanks that have not yet been tested in WoT. The characteristics and appearance of this tank are subject to change, depending on the feedback and the results of the testing. The purpose and the availability of this tank are unknown yet, but we will keep you updated as soon as we have more information.
