Object 452K from update 1.22.1 of World of Tanks
With the release of update 1.22.1, the Object 452K tank (USSR, HT-10, promo) will be rolled out randomly by developers and supertesters.
Historical reference
Object 452K is the result of work in the 1960s to find new tank layouts, in particular, with the driver placed in the turret. Control problems were going to be solved through the use of fiber optics or television equipment installed on the body. During the design, it was proposed to increase both the limited pointing angles of the gun and the angles of inclination of the frontal parts of the turret and hull. Damage to optical instruments (sights) by the fragmentation flow of cumulative and HE shells was practically excluded. The chassis was planned to be manufactured using new materials, incl. titanium alloy for the design of track roller disks. Despite the possibility of technical implementation, the project did not progress beyond sketches (too expensive).
