WoT RU 1.26 Common Test: Unveiling the Hidden Vehicles (Updated Compilation)
GPT-75 (China, Tier-10, HT, premium)
Unleashing the concealed firepower of the GPT-75, we reveal:
- Dispersion from Movement: a stable 0.30
- Dispersion from Hull Rotation: a consistent 0.30
- Dispersion from Turret Rotation: a precise 0.20
- Dispersion after Shot: a controlled 8.00
GPT-75’s Legacy: Crafted for the “border covering tanks” initiative, the GPT-75 was a heavy tank designed for mountain warfare. It boasted enhanced frontal turret and hull protection, with additional armor plates and a “pike nose” VLD. Armed with a 180 mm low-ballistic rifled gun, it packed a high-explosive punch. The ammunition system featured a mechanized rack in the turret’s rear niche, requiring manual loading by the operator. Despite its promising design, the project remained a blueprint as the need for such equipment faded.
BZ-74-1 (China, Tier-10, HT, promotional)
The BZ-74-1’s hidden gun statistics are as follows:
- Dispersion from Movement: a nimble 0.12
- Dispersion from Hull Rotation: a steady 0.12
- Dispersion from Turret Rotation: an accurate 0.11
- Dispersion after Shot: a firm 4.00
BZ-74-1’s Historical Footprint: Influenced by the M48A3, the BZ-74-1 was a Chinese innovation with a classic layout. Its hull combined cast and welded parts, while the turret was assembled from rolled sheets. Emulating its American muse, the tank featured a unified engine-transmission power plant. Despite its potential, the BZ-74-1 remained a concept on paper.
Prototipo 6 (Italy, Tier-9, MT, premium)
The Prototipo 6’s concealed gun stats shine with:
- Dispersion from Movement: a swift 0.20
- Dispersion from Hull Rotation: a solid 0.20
- Dispersion from Turret Rotation: an exceptional 0.06
- Dispersion after Shot: a tight 4.00
Prototipo 6’s Historical Narrative: In the late ’50s, Italy’s ambition in the Standardpanzer program led to the PROTOTIPO 6, a 30-ton tank with a unique 6-roller chassis. Mirroring the Standardpanzer group A, yet distinct, it focused on welded turrets and indigenous weaponry, drawing from American expertise. However, as the design’s weight exceeded expectations, Italy chose fiscal prudence over further investment, opting to await the Standardpanzer’s completion. Ultimately, the PROTOTIPO 6 remained a draft.
U-18 T (USSR, Tier-8, Assault SPG, premium)
The U-18 T’s hidden gun stats reveal:
- Dispersion from Movement: a reliable 0.20
- Dispersion from Hull Rotation: a steadfast 0.20
- Dispersion from Gun Rotation: a stable 0.20
- Dispersion after Shot: a manageable 6.00
U-18 T’s Historical Context: On April 15, 1942, the Red Army’s artillery chiefs envisioned the U-18 as a formidable “pillbox destroyer.” Based on the KV-1 tank, the U-18 project emerged from the Ural Heavy Engineering Plant, under L. I. Gorlitsky’s guidance. Plans included an armored cabin with an ML-20 howitzer. Yet, this ambitious design did not progress past the drawing board.
GPT-166 (China, Tier-8, HT, premium)
The GPT-166 emerges as a specialized heavy tank, boasting hidden gun stats that ensure precision and power:
- Dispersion from Movement: a calculated 0.28
- Dispersion from Hull Rotation: a consistent 0.28
- Dispersion from Turret Rotation: a sharp 0.20
- Dispersion after Shot: a focused 6.00
GPT-166’s Historical Insight: Designed as a cornerstone of the “border covering tanks” concept, the GPT-166 was equipped with a formidable 160-mm howitzer. This weapon unleashed shells with devastating high-explosive effects, ideal for engaging enemies hidden in rugged terrains. The ammunition system featured a mechanized rack, streamlining the shell delivery to the loader. The tank’s frontal armor showcased a “wavy” surface, ingeniously increasing the chance of deflecting incoming projectiles. Despite its innovative design, the GPT-166 project was archived due to its high cost.
ISU-2SH (USSR, Tier-8, Assault SPG, premium)
The ISU-2SH stands out with its hidden gun stats, tailored for assault:
- Dispersion from Movement: a stable 0.26
- Dispersion from Hull Rotation: a reliable 0.26
- Dispersion from Gun Rotation: a precise 0.20
- Dispersion after Shot: a commanding 10.00
ISU-2SH’s Historical Significance: In the heat of battle in early 1944, the heavy IS tanks revealed a need for enhanced armor. This led to a series of modernization studies, initiated in March 1944. N.F. Shashmurin, a prominent engineer, proposed a redesign that involved relocating the fighting compartment and revamping the chassis. However, the project’s momentum was short-lived as Shashmurin was reassigned to revitalize the Kirov plant in Leningrad, causing the project’s suspension.
Object 252 (USSR, Tier-8, HT, premium)
Object 252 distinguishes itself with hidden gun stats that promise robust performance:
- Dispersion from Movement: a nimble 0.23
- Dispersion from Hull Rotation: a steadfast 0.23
- Dispersion from Turret Rotation: an exceptional 0.12
- Dispersion after Shot: a tight 4.00
Object 252’s Historical Context: The initial design phase of Object 252 unfolded at the Chelyabinsk Kirov Plant’s design bureau, spanning from late 1943 to mid-1944. Subsequently, the project shifted to Uralmash, where detailed drawings and a prototype materialized. Despite these efforts, Object 252 did not offer significant benefits over its contemporaries and fell short in armor protection compared to the advanced IS-4 (“Object 701”), leading to its exclusion from production.
