World of Tanks Supertest – Vz 62 Jasan – Changes – 2nd Iteration

The 2nd Iteration of the Vz. 62 Jasan Czechoslovakia Tier 9 Premium Tank Enters WoT Supertest on March 27: Detailed Analysis

The Vz. 62 Jasan, a Czechoslovakia ST-9 premium medium tank equipped with a 4-round drum magazine, has entered its second WoT supertest iteration on March 27, 2024. This update brings significant adjustments to its firepower and mobility, refining its performance compared to the first supertest phase. Below is a breakdown of the key changes and their implications for players.

Key Changes in Firepower

The Vz. 62 Jasan’s 4-round drum mechanic sees several tweaks to balance its damage output and handling:

1. Reload Time for Entire Magazine:
   • Previous: 24.93 seconds
   • Updated: 25.89 seconds
   • Impact: Slightly slower magazine reload, extending the downtime between drum cycles. Players will need to manage engagement timing more carefully.
2. Cannon Rate of Fire:
   • Previous: 8.16 rounds per minute (rpm)
   • Updated: 7.90 rpm
   • Impact: Reduced firing speed, balancing the tank’s burst damage potential.
3. Aiming Time:
   • Previous: 2.01 seconds
   • Updated: 2.11 seconds
   • Impact: Slightly slower aim lock, requiring more patience when switching targets.
4. Dispersion Metrics:
   • Dispersion After Shot: Increased from 3.00 to 4.00 (likely in meters).
   • Dispersion on Movement (Max): 0.18 → 0.21 (9.90 → 10.50 meters).
   • Dispersion from Chassis Traverse (Max): 0.18 → 0.21 (9.39 → 10.95 meters).
   • Impact: Higher dispersion penalties for movement and rotation, emphasizing the need for stationary firing to maximize accuracy.
5. Damage per Minute (DPM):
   • AP Shells: 2,447 → 2,369 (7.8% reduction).
   • CS Shells: 2,447 → 2,369 (same as AP).
   • HE Shells: 3,262 → 3,159 (3.2% reduction).
   • Impact: Reduced overall DPM suggests the tank’s role is shifting from a high-damage burst machine to a more precise, controlled threat.

Mobility Adjustments

The Vz. 62 Jasan’s speed has been nerfed, altering its hit-and-run potential:

• Max Forward Speed: 55 → 50 km/h
• Impact: Slower top speed reduces its ability to reposition quickly, forcing players to rely on map knowledge and cover to survive engagements.

Strategic Implications for Players

1. Optimal Playstyle:
   • Leverage the 4-round drum for short, precise bursts while staying stationary to minimize dispersion.
   • Use HE shells for area denial and crowd control, as their DPM reduction is minimal.
   • Prioritize defensive positioning (e.g., hull-down positions, chokepoints) to mitigate the slower reload and reduced speed.
2. Team Role:
   • The Vz. 62 Jasan now fits better as a support striker, providing focused damage while avoiding prolonged engagements.
   • Avoid open maps (e.g., Fjords, Prohorovka) where speed and DPM are critical. Instead, favor tight terrain like Himmelsdorf or Lakeville.

Key Takeaways

• Firepower: Reduced DPM and increased dispersion emphasize accuracy over raw burst damage.
• Mobility: Slower speed limits hit-and-run tactics; prioritize defensive maps.
• Playstyle: Master the 4-round drum’s timing and leverage HE shells for zone control.

The Vz. 62 Jasan remains a high-skill premium option for players who excel at positioning and calculated engagements. Monitor the supertest feedback closely for further balance tweaks!
