TT-130M: A New Tank Coming to WoT in Update 1.23.1
In update 1.23.1, WoT will introduce a new tank: the TT-130M (Czechoslovakia, HT-9, premium, mechanics: rocket boosters). This tank will undergo random testing by developers and supertesters before it becomes available to the public.
What is the history behind this tank? Let’s find out.
The TT-130M is based on the T-56 heavy tank, which was a project for deep modernization. The designers wanted to implement innovative ideas to improve the tank’s survivability and maneuverability. For example, they planned to use analogues of Soviet and Chinese developments, such as reactive armor and rocket boosters. They gathered information from various sources, such as intelligence reports and technical documents. However, they had to abandon the project when a new class of main battle tanks emerged, which made the T-56 obsolete.
Now, you have a chance to see how the TT-130M would perform in WoT. Stay tuned for more details on update 1.23.1 and the new tank.
