Object 265T (USSR, Tier-9, HT, Premium Mechanics: 3-Round Magazine with Reverse Reloading)

Historical Reference:

The Object 265T project aimed to develop a heavy tank adapted for use with individual floating equipment. Initiated by the Mobile Vehicle Engineering Institute (VNII-100) in the late 1950s, the project received the designation Object 265 and was presented for approval to the Commander of Armored and Mechanized Forces of the Soviet Army. Despite significant attention to unconventional layouts, such as placing the engine-transmission compartment at the front, the military did not consider the tank’s development promising. Additionally, the novelty of the tank’s control systems, with the driver located in the turret, deterred potential clients. Consequently, the project was closed to focus on enhancing the T-10 tank (Object 730).

Another entrant to the Supertest is the Object 265T, a Soviet Tier IX heavy tank featuring a reverse autoloader. This tank boasts good mobility for its class, with a top speed of 35 km/h and a reverse speed of 14 km/h, allowing it to secure key positions on the battlefield quickly.

Combat Capabilities:

With its rear-mounted turret and strong frontal and side armor, the Object 265T excels at holding positions and pushing the frontline. Its 122mm gun, equipped with a three-shell reverse autoreloading system, deals 390 HP of damage per shot with standard AP shells. The aiming time is 2.7 seconds, and the full magazine reload time is 42 seconds.

To maximize its combat potential, adopt a familiar but effective strategy: engage the enemy, unleash the full magazine, and finish with the last shell for peak DPM.
