If you are a fan of World of Tanks, you will be excited to hear that the new Polish branch is coming soon
This branch will feature the NC 70 Błyskawica, a powerful and unique tank destroyer that will be the 66th (Order 66) pumpable TOP in the game. In this article, we will tell you everything you need to know about this amazing vehicle, its performance characteristics, and its nuances.
The NC 70 Błyskawica is a Polish tank destroyer of the 10th level, with a special mechanic: a gun with a deep rifled barrel. This gun has a distinctive muzzle design that has never been seen before in real life. It also uses a new type of shells: double-caliber shells with a star tray. These features give the tank a new damage mechanic that depends on the distance to the enemy.
The closer you are to your target, the more damage you will deal. The maximum damage is 800 units, while the minimum damage is 300 units. However, you should also consider the random variation of ±25% of the average damage. This means that you can deal more or less damage than expected, depending on your luck. Therefore, the NC 70 Błyskawica encourages you to play aggressively and get close to your enemies, as this is what WG intends.
To help you with this, the tank also has a new sight that will show you the possible damage you can deal depending on the distance to the enemy. This way, you can plan your shots more effectively and maximize your damage output. Moreover, the tank has a very high projectile speed: 1700 m/s for the main sub-caliber and 2000 m/s for the alternative sub-caliber. This is a record among all tanks in the game, and it makes the NC 70 Błyskawica very accurate and reliable.
The NC 70 Błyskawica entered the WoT EU supertest today, ahead of the future Czechoslovakian branch. The tank is expected to be released this year, along with the rest of the Polish branch. The new mechanics will also apply to the level 8 and 9 tanks of the branch, while the tanks from levels 5 to 7 will not have them. There will also be a level 8 premium tank, but it has not been revealed yet.
