The Object Kust: Soviet Tier VIII Sniper Tank Destroyer
The Object Kust (pronounced “koost”) is a formidable Soviet Tier VIII sniper tank destroyer equipped with hydropneumatic suspension. The overall concept of this vehicle closely resembles that of high-tier Swedish TDs: Travel Mode is designed for movement, while Assault Mode is optimized for shooting.
The main distinctive feature of the Object Kust is its powerful 130 mm gun, which deals an average of 550 HP of damage per shot. This gun also boasts excellent armor penetration, with 279 mm for standard rounds and 320 mm for special rounds.
The frontal armor plate of the Object Kust is both thick and angled. Even if an opponent possesses a high-caliber gun, they will need to aim for weak spots—simply firing at the vehicle’s silhouette won’t suffice. This design gives the operator of the Object Kust ample time to thoroughly aim their gun and punish the enemy.
