DZT-159 (China, Tier-9, MT, Premium, Mechanics: Rocket Boosters)
The DZT-159, a premium medium tank from China, introduces an innovative mechanic: rocket boosters. These boosters activate for a limited duration (7 charges per battle), enhancing performance. Let’s delve into the details:
Firepower:
- Gun reloading time has been adjusted from 11.51 to 13.42 seconds.
- The gun’s rate of fire now stands at 4.47 rounds per minute (down from 5.21).
- Accuracy at 100 meters has improved, moving from 0.38 to 0.40.
Dispersion:
- During movement, dispersion (max) ranges from 0.20 (8.00, 13.60 with boost) to 0.25 (10.00, 17.00 with boost).
- Hull rotation dispersion (max) varies between 0.20 (7.30, 1.10 with boost) and 0.25 (9.13, 1.37 with boost).
- Turret rotation dispersion (max) remains consistent at 0.12 (2.75).
