TS-60: The New American Premium Tank Destroyer in World of Tanks
One of the future premium tanks will be the TS-60, a Tier IX American tank destroyer that has a rear-mounted turret and a powerful gun.
The History of the TS-60: A Prototype Based on the T28
The TS-60 is a prototype tank destroyer that was based on the T28, a heavy tank that was designed to break through the German defenses during World War II. The T28 was a massive vehicle that weighed 86 tons and had a 105 mm gun. However, it was also very slow and cumbersome, and it never saw combat.
The TS-60 was an attempt to improve the T28 by replacing its fixed casemate with a rotating turret. The turret had a 120 mm gun that could fire armor-piercing, armor-piercing composite rigid, and high-explosive shells. The TS-60 also had a lower profile and a lighter weight than the T28, but it still retained a decent armor protection.
The TS-60 never entered production, and only one prototype was built. It was tested at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in 1947, but it was deemed obsolete and scrapped. The TS-60 remained a forgotten project until it was revived in World of Tanks.
The Features and Performance of the TS-60 in World of Tanks
The TS-60 is a premium American tank destroyer that will be available in the next update 1.23.1. It is a new addition to the game and it has some impressive features. The TS-60 has the best damage per minute among its classmates, which means that it can deal a lot of damage in a short time. It also has a good penetration and accuracy, which means that it can hit and damage different types of enemies. It also has a good gun depression and elevation, which means that it can use the terrain to its advantage.
However, the TS-60 also has some drawbacks, such as its low hit points, poor mobility, and long aim time. It is very vulnerable to enemy fire, especially from artillery and high-explosive shells. It is also very slow and cumbersome, making it hard to position and reposition on the map. It also has a long aim time and a high dispersion, which means that it can miss or bounce shots. It also has a large size and weak spots, such as the cupola and the lower plate, which can be easily hit by enemy fire.
The TS-60 is a tank that requires a lot of skill and teamwork to play effectively. It is not a tank for beginners or solo players, as it can be easily outmaneuvered and overwhelmed by faster and more agile enemies. It is best suited for experienced players who can use its strengths and cover its weaknesses, and who can coordinate with their allies and support them in battle.
What are the New Changes for the TS-60 in the Patch 1.23.1?
The TS-60 entered the supertest on Wednesday for the fifth iteration and it has received some changes in its characteristics, which are not a complete rollback relative to the previous nerf, but at least something.
Here are the new changes for the TS-60 in the patch 1.23.1:
General:
- Cost of repairing tank durability: increased from 15,640 to 17,480
Firepower:
- Gun loading: decreased from 8.53 to 8.25
- Gun rate of fire: increased from 7.03 to 7.28
- Average damage per minute 1 (AP) projectile: increased from 2,813 to 2,911
- Average damage per minute 2 (APCS) projectile: increased from 2,813 to 2,911
- Average damage per minute 3 (HE) projectile: increased from 3,621 to 3,748
Vitality:
- Tank durability/HP: increased from 1,700 hp to 1,900 hp
These changes will make the TS-60 more competitive and effective in the game, as it will have more hit points, more damage per minute, and faster reload time. However, these changes will also make the TS-60 more expensive to repair, and they will not affect its other weaknesses, such as its low mobility, poor accuracy, and long aim time.
