Type 71, Japanese tier X heavy tank
The branch goes out for testing a MONTH late!
Type 71 (Japan, HT-10, premium, mechanics: automatic hydropneumatic suspension, gun cooling) entered the WoT EU supertest yesterday. The tank has a hydropneumatic suspension depending on the speed of the tank. Similar mechanics are available in UDES 15/16 or STB-1.
In the new mechanics of gun cooling, the time required to obtain better accuracy is quite large (11.63 seconds). It will be pointless in positional battles, but such situations will definitely arise and the chance of inflicting additional damage will be greater.
Type 71 will become the 65th upgradeable TOP in the game. Characteristics and appearance are always in front of you. Release early 2024.
Performance characteristics affected by hydropneumatic suspension and cooling:

More about the mechanics of Cooling
“The Type 71 gun heats up when fired, and when it cools down completely, its dispersion improves slightly until the next shot.
The time it takes for the gun to completely cool down exceeds its reloading time, so the dispersion improves after the projectile is prepared for firing.
When the improved spread is activated, a second aiming circle (smaller in diameter, brighter and more noticeable) will appear in the player’s sight. It is he who will determine the spread of the gun. After the second circle appears, the gun will continue to be adjusted for some time to achieve the lowest dispersion possible.
The player can shoot immediately after reloading without waiting for the spread to improve if he needs to deal damage as quickly as possible, for example, in close combat. But for a more accurate shot from medium and long distance, it is better to wait.
BOTTOM LINE: In addition to the hydropneumatic suspension, the dual convergence (cooling) system allows you to choose between high damage per minute and low dispersion depending on the combat situation.”
