Wot the USSR. Soviet development branch in World of tanks. American development branch of World of Tanks

information was presented on adding a new branch of Maus (MAUS) to the German nation. The following techniques will be added, shown in the table below:

New branch of mouse (MAUS)

Changes are being made for a more logical branch of Mouse research; the slow but highly armored VK 100.01 and Mousehen will be an excellent replacement for the VK 45.02 auf A and VK 45.02 auf B (alpha sneakers and just slippers in common parlance). Well, if you change sneakers, and in order not to take them out of the game, a level 10 vehicle is added to the branch, namely an analogue of the VK 72.01 (K), the VK 72.02 K itself will not go anywhere and will remain the same premium vehicle, only unique camouflage and body kit for a tank. Also, additional changes to the AP of German World of Tanks tanks. The main changes will include adding mobility and comfort to the weapon.

If the hangar already has MAUS, then a new TT of the tenth level must be re-opened.
If the hangar already has MAUS, then level 8 and level 9 will already be researched and available for purchase in the game.

Changes in performance characteristics of VK 72.01

VK 72.01 in World of Tanks is a German super-heavy class tank, the successor to VK 70.01 with improved armor, was developed by the Kruppe concern and also received improved weapons, it is also compared with the Soviet IS-7 and IS-4, the armor ball is 160 mm, but the turret itself , unlike the IS-7, has bends at irrational angles. It also differs from its younger brother in its higher speed of aiming the turret and reloading 18.5 s, when fully equipped. Despite its large dimensions of 120 tons, the tank is relatively maneuverable and reaches 40 km/h; its ammunition load is less than that of the 70th version (24 rounds). The disadvantages of the tank are its high profile, which makes it an easy target for artillery, for example, on the Sand River maps. The tank received the title of “elite” due to the ability to transfer a crew from any German TT tank to it.

This tank will receive increased firepower (for example, increased damage per minute) comparable to the E100. Another important update for VK 72.01 K owners is the improvement in armor from 235 to 246 mm. Some indicators are not yet the latest before the update is released, for example, such as increased armor on the frontal projection.

Changes in performance characteristics of E100

E-class tanks began to be developed in the early 40s by the Reich Ministry of Armaments. The engineer Mr. Kniepkamp gave the task to several companies that had not previously dealt with tanks to develop a new concept of a super-heavy tank, they received the name Panzerkampfwagen E-100. The main focus was to create a tank that would be invisible in heavy battles, but at the same time it could carry large amounts of ammunition. Because of this, compared to its predecessors, the model range of tanks underwent changes in design; it was decided to abandon the torsion bar suspension. The drive wheels were located at the rear of the car to increase space inside the cabin. The engineers also wanted to create a new type of sights, but during the research they had to abandon the development.

The model available in the game is Pz.Kpfw.E-100, Great 383) 383 is a premium level 10 tank model, weighing 140 tons.

Changes in performance characteristics of MAUS

The history of the Mouses dates back to 1942. Hitler demanded the creation of a car with very powerful armor. Several concerns were involved in the development of individual parts of the tank, including the well-known company Siemens, which developed the transmission. The main developer, Ferdinard Porsche, showed a couple of prototypes in 1944, but on Hitler's orders, mass production of the tanks was stopped because Germany did not have enough resources to develop other types of weapons.

In the game, the tank is available after reaching level ten. Has the best armor in its class. Its weapon has very high one-time damage, good accuracy and resistance to penetration. The only negative is, perhaps, a long reload time and low mobility, which makes it an easy target for self-propelled guns and artillery.

Changes in the performance characteristics of Panther II

In 1942, German engineers decided to develop an improved model of the popular Panther tank, primarily changes related to armor capacity. Development was carried out in parallel with the second version of the Tiger and it was decided that the Panther would be the same Tiger only larger in size. The second version received an improved chassis, surveillance devices, and propulsion system. The armor thickness also increased from 60 to 100 mm. The Shmalturm tower had internal telescopic rangefinders and infrared devices. The increase in equipment entailed an increase in the dimensions of the machine to 47 tons. Production began in 1945 with some changes to the air defense turret.
In the game, the tank received level 8 and can be used as additional support for allies on the second line. It has a good rate of fire and good maneuvers, but has weak armor and a tall silhouette, so it can also be a target for self-propelled guns.

On April 13, another batch of developer responses was published on the Status Report website. This time there were answers about Italian tanks and their development tree in World of Tanks as a whole. We have translated all the material from English for you so that you can read them and create your own impression about this nation. Make yourself comfortable, because there are a lot of answers. The consultant on the Italian nation, Vollketten, answered the questions.

Q. Is the Italian tree next?

A. Let's hope so. It is high time

Q. Are there any ideas for a heavy tank branch? If not, what levels are TTs recruited to?

A. There are heavy tanks that fit the heavy class, similar to the low-level NbFz, but to add them to the game you will have to add the German Tiger (of which Italy received one variant for a short period until September 1943 in Armistica). M60A1, which OTO Melara is building under license, and Kpz 70, for which Italy took some part in the development. I suppose it's possible, but unlikely. I actually don't like how the heavy tank line looks at high levels, so the TT line will only be halfway there to keep things reasonable. The absence of a TT branch does not disqualify a nation from having a tree in the game, but their presence will not be superfluous.

Q. Will there be a new branch of self-propelled guns?

A. Despite the fact that Italy is capable of having a full-fledged artillery branch, it is unlikely that VG will add new self-propelled guns based on the current dynamics of the game, and recently there was even a comment that if the new artillery mechanics do not work, they will have to be removed from the game. Simply put, Italy can have an artillery branch if necessary, and if VG does introduce this class, then the branch can be reworked for other roles in the game.

Q. I know that Italian tanks are practically copied from other nations, except for some Fiat carropesante (HT). I'm only interested in medium tanks (Panther, Patton, Leopard) at lvl 7-10. But here’s the question: what national feature will be inherent in Italian tanks? (for example, I know that OTO Melara developed a Leopard prototype with an automatic loader)

A. The backbone of Italy's tank forces in World War II were the L6 reconnaissance aircraft and the M13 and Semovente series of medium tanks based on them. None of these tanks fit the description of being copies of tanks from other countries. You could say that the CV.3 came from Carden-Loyd, and the Ansaldo 12t was actually a British design.

Q. Will the crown of the TT line be Il Duce super heavy?

A. Super tank IlDuce is a complete fantasy and has no place in the game.

Q. Will the P43 be a medium or heavy tank?

A. Technically, the P43 is a heavy tank (P=Pesante=heavy). The tank was used for attack, but by the time it was built, it was comparable to the medium tanks of other nations, so for gaming purposes the choice is to make it a TT, but at a lower level, so that the armor makes it feel like a full-fledged heavy tank. My opinion is to keep it's class and heavy feel, but as a tank that will be useful for gaming purposes.

Q. What other interesting tanks did they have?

A. The most interesting is Semovente, based on medium tanks. I think the P43 Bis will be the most interesting tank for most players.

Q. Do you have an idea to make national equipment in the form of pasta or pizza?

Q. The premium food will be LotsaSpaghetti

Q. How about canned sardines and red wine?

A. In World War II, the rations of the Italian army included Amministrazione Militare, which literally translated as “dead donkey.” The Germans knew their canned rations as ArmerMussolini, which meant "poor Mussolini", and probably indicates the relatively terrible nature of the canned product.

Other military preservatives included sardines, tuna, tomatoes and even cheese, while the main products were bread and dry pasta. In northern Africa, the Allies also recorded large shipments of fruit. Obviously Italy is famous for its coffee and chocolate, but there's already German chocolate and French coffee in the game, so the Italians need something different. You can simply have an “additional combat ration,” as this was implemented by the USSR (Dop ration) and the Chinese (improved ration). I would recommend "bread and tuna" or "tomato and cheese", or your own version, instead of the stereotypical Italian products.

"Mozzarella and tomatoes"

"Tuna Sandwich"

Q. What are the general features of the Italian tank tree?

A. I remember a comment from WG, which said that they are not trying to give this or that nation features, although previously the developers still tried to give each nation some special feature (USSR - armor, Germany - accuracy, France - drum, etc.). It is difficult to say what the character of the Italian nation will be. I was thinking about a tree that has good stealth, since all the tanks are generally short, and a rate of fire. The disadvantage will most likely be weak armor. Even TTs will not have high booking rates.

Q. Will there be new Italian themed maps?

O. Maps? I have no idea about maps, but it would be a nice addition. Something historical, with Gothic elements or cross-country with Sicily would be excellent.

Q. Will they have unique game mechanics, like the Swedes have the same air suspension? For example, a temporary increase in speed, quick detour, increased stealth, better ground resistance, so that there is at least some difference from the German and American branches.

A. The mechanics are clever, but they don't need anything new or special like siege mode. If WG fixes the mechanics of HESH shells, then Italy will gain an advantage, since most guns use this type of shell.

Q. Do you still agree that the 9th level is the OTO / Melara M47 Patton II, and the 10th OTO Leopard / Centauro with a loading drum? Or do you agree with Spidergrenadier, who puts them in reverse order?

A. As for the OTO Centauro ("self-loading Leopard"), it is an excellent option for the CT10 level, except that it will be the same or a better variant of the German Leopard. The other tank is actually a designed Lion tank, which is essentially the predecessor to the OF-40. It is still very dangerous, but does not have a shell autoloader, and the welded turret is significantly different from the Leopard's cast turret. It was manufactured in May 1974. Converted M.47 and OTO Melara with elements of M60 tanks and a 105mm cannon are best suited for tier 9 in my opinion, and if it did there would be a ton of engines and other modules for it. Even for level 8, but without a 105 mm cannon, the tank is suitable.

OTO Melara Lion

Q. What will be the standard tank emblem?

A. The emblem is a white cross. The flag for the tree should be a modern, tricolor Italian flag, not the WWII era version or the RSI version, which has hundreds of historical insignia, logos and inscriptions.

Q. Is LT10 Italy in your plans?

A. As far as I know, to reach level 10, you will need to enter some paper models from the late 1970s, which do not correspond to the official WoT time frame.

Q. The console version confirmed the development of a prefabricated tree that will include those countries that cannot form historical trees or branches on their own. This will likely include Italian tanks. Do you expect this to be the direction WG PC takes for "small" countries, and would you be happy if Italian tanks were represented in this way?

A. I personally hate the idea of ​​a prefabricated tree for a variety of reasons. I've never played the console version, but I know there are some differences from playing on PC. I would be very unhappy if Italy was presented in this way.

Q. Could we see wheeled vehicles?

A. Yes, Italy is very well endowed with wheeled vehicles and has many designs that can be included if necessary. There are even a couple of interesting armored vehicles.

Breda 52

Q. Will we see lightweight crazy wedges as a separate branch?

A. I'm not ashamed to say that I love the CV3. I know they are small and slow (except for the Rossini version). I know they (Rossini version) are lightly armored, but very fast, very maneuverable and very small indeed. Historically, this was a major breakthrough in tank design, so it makes absolutely zero sense not to include them in the game. Hopefully don't see a boring and rather ugly Fiat 3000 in Tier 1, even if it's a simple and lazy placement. CV3, capable of carrying a 20mm gun (including an automatic version), a 20mm cannon, or a short 37mm cannon.

Q. Will there be one branch from levels 1 to 10, or will there be several branches that merge into one tank?

A. No, I do not support this. It would make sense for WG to release a premium medium tank first, followed by the main tree.

Q. Have you found a suitable option for the 8th level, something truly original, and not a copy of the “Panther”?

A. I think it's fair to say that Level 8 has proven to be a headache for Italy. This is the most important level in the game and it's not perfect, had to use an Italian license created by Panther to fill the gap. Italy did receive licenses to produce panthers and PzIII and IV tanks in Italy, but no tanks were ultimately produced.

Q. When will we see the Italian Tree?

A. We'll see when WG gets to him. Now they are busy with other things, but they told me that they consider WoT as a long-term project, and therefore they are in no hurry to introduce nations.

Q. Will there be a Tier 1 Fiat 2000 instead of a Fiat 3000 Renault clone? Or they could be a two-tier nation, with the Fiat 2000 going up on the heavy tray and the Fiat 3000 going up the light to the center line.

A. I hope not. Not because I like the Fiat 3000, but because the Fiat 2000 can be played as big, ugly, but heavy nonetheless.

Q. Where, in your opinion, does the CarroArmato L6/40 belong, if at all, in the game? Do you think the CV-33 CC will make it into WoT?

A. It would be strange to miss any of these vehicles since they formed such an important part of the Italian tank forces during World War II. A CV.33 CC with a 20mm cannon will look great despite the lack of a turret, fast, low and tiny it will be a tough target. L.6/40 is obviously larger and will not only have a 20mm Breda with a turret, but can also possibly cope with a short 37mm. Both tanks are ideal for low level

L.6/40

CV.33 CC

Q. What exactly will a level 10 tank be like? Will it be an OF-40 (if it's not considered too modern) or some other archival project?

A. The OF-40 is too new for the WG time slot, the earlier "Lion" is much closer and different from the German Leopard. In my opinion, Lion is best at level 10, even though it's from 1970. It had at least reached the prototype stage, while the Leopard autoloader was just a paper version.

Q. Will Semovente 90/53 be a tank tank or self-propelled gun? (I've read that it was used for both roles) It would be interesting to see the Semovente 90/53 played as a tank destroyer with artillery capabilities, balanced so that it could only carry 6 rounds. What do you think about it?

O. The 90/53 is a tank destroyer that can also be used for indirect fire. Semovente M42, etc. would be PT. We have a full line of self-propelled guns which, most likely, will not exist, so there should be no problems with the tank branch.

Semovente 90/53

Q. Will there be a Polish tank tree?

A. I hope so. I'm not Polish, but they have interesting tanks. I don't know enough about Polish tanks, and I don't know if they can have their own tree or not. Even if they can only get one thread, I'd like to see it.

Q. I'm looking forward to the Italian line. The M15/42 looks pretty good.

A. It was a very respectable tank. It was outclassed by the time it entered service.

Q. Is Ariana’s artillery mount more suitable as a self-propelled gun or tank destroyer?

A. There is a prototype of Ariana and its final form, which is slightly different. They are ideal as self-propelled guns. If there is no self-propelled gun at all, then I personally don’t know whether such a lightly armored unit with a 155 mm gun can be a high-level tank tank. The OTO "Automatic" system with a loading drum can find its role in the game, being used on PTs, for example on the SP-70. This is a self-propelled gun project from the 70s, built on the basis of the Leopard tank, which is perfect for the role of the PT-10.

SP-70

Q. Will we see German tanks in the Italian tree? For example, premium Pz4 or Panther?

A. Italy received a dozen Panzer IVs, a dozen Stugs and one Tiger tank operated by Italian forces. Production contracts were exchanged and Panzer III, Panzer IV and Panther were also discussed. German tanks are very popular and a premium German tank for Italy would be a very nice addition, especially since they will be able to use some of their own modules and modifications, which can distinguish them from the German variants.

Q. Is the Fiat 2000 heavy tank suitable for level 1? It would be original to start leveling up with a heavy tank. And it will be better than the Italian FT version.

A. At the moment there are no plans to introduce the TT as a Tier 1 tank, and I don’t think that this will happen. WG doesn't seem particularly interested in low levels, despite the unique look of the Fiat 2000. The turret gun is decent for it, but its mobility is terrible. A later version with a 37mm gun in each corner would be phenomenally fun if WG ever expressed support for multi-turrets. I hate Fiat 3000.

It's basically just another FT clone and doesn't offer anything interesting for the first level. And the 47mm gun on it is too good for the first level, one way or another, it will need a nerf to make it balanced. The Fiat 3000 as a first tier is lazy and boring and not even necessary since there are other options instead. The only historical value for this was obviously the production and maintenance of them, but this really came to nothing, the design was a dead end and the choice followed a British design instead of a French one.

Q. Is the design and concept of the P.75 sufficient to be a tier 2 and 3 heavy tank?

A. The P.75 "a" "b" and "c" concepts are large and slow and noticeably different, but they are too well armed to be balanced for tier 2. Ansaldo 9t/12t is better suited for TT2 along with Fiat 2000 which will most likely be premium, because it is significant for the TT branch, and also leads to a bunch of early P.75s.

Q. The Italian M26 Pershing cannot have the experimental equipment that the M26 USA has, noting the gun, since Italian equipment was not used on the M26. Taking this into account, does the Italian Pershing M26 have a chance to be at tier 7?

A. The M26 Pershing in Italian service did have a few minor modifications, such as the front hull being reshaped and the hatch being "sealed". An upgrade to the 90 mm Cockerill gun was planned, but this was a short-term solution for Italy and largely ended up with only turret reinforcements being carried out.

Q. Wargaming confirms that the tank branch should be up to level 10? In particular, heavy tanks and anti-tank vehicles.

A. Tiers 9 and 10 are actually the most lucrative for WG as people spend gold to convert experience to get these machines. This is one of the reasons why artillery was extended to level 10 and the same thing happened with light tanks. The TT branch, if it appears, will be the most controversial.

Q. I would like to know what the PT branch will be? What will their characteristics be and what is their priority for introduction into the game?

A. The main feature of Italy's PTs will be stealth, they are small and low, and none have armor. As a fan of the CV.3 light tank, I would like to see a CV.2 with a 20mm Solothurn as the first tank in the AT line, as well as a CV.3 with a 47mm gun. This is followed by a 75mm unit based on L.6 (M.6). Small, light, with good weapons. Little armor, but a lot of firepower.

Q. Will we see OF-40 at tier 11 of the Italian tree?

A: Too new and too advanced, even the Mk.I.

Q. How long did it take to decide on levels 7, 8 and 9 for the Italian tree?

A. Tier 7 can be satisfied with the P.43 bis, and Tier 9 with the OtoMelara M47 version, this is the one that has the 105mm cannon and M60 components. Level 8 took a very long time to solve. There was an option to include the Italian Panther, but with special modifications to the modules. I don't approve of this because it is not historically accurate. The Italian Panther would be suitable at level 7, but since we have a candidate for level 7, it would be best suited as a prem. Level 8 remains a “hole”, but it is significant. As a result, I don't see any other option other than the M47 itself. There are many more engine options besides the best ones for the Tier 9 version and other 90mm guns. The visual differences from the USA M47 are very minor, but the USA tree doesn't have the M47 anyway and they barely used it since they went for export. This may not be the best solution, but it is historical and does not affect anything else.

Hello, fellow tankers! Today we will look at the Soviet branch of tank development (in the game World of Tanks), or rather, I will describe to you all its pros and cons in as much detail as possible from my point of view and, perhaps, help you decide on the choice of nation. This will not be, but a personal opinion, so there is no need to vehemently prove that I “didn’t write the guide based on guides.”

Popularity of USSR tanks in World of Tanks

Cons of the Soviets are inaccurate guns (mostly). The guns also have low armor penetration compared to American, French and German vehicles (for example, when comparing the IS, T29 and Tiger, the IS has 30 times less armor penetration than its two “classmates”). A significant disadvantage is the overview of Soviet heavy tanks. They are quite “blind” and on large open maps they take damage without even knowing where they are being shot from.

Speed ​​cannot be considered either a plus or a minus, because... Different branches have different speeds.

General

• Fri-Sau
• Heavily armored light tanks
• Maneuverable light tanks
• Medium armored light tanks
• Self-propelled guns (artillery)

Fri-Sau

TB/M/SB light tanks (conventionally designated in my own way)

The T-26 – T-46 line is one of the most popular, because has ramifications for T-50 - T-50-2 and for heavy tanks. By switching to Soviet “fireflies” you will get enormous speed with which you can highlight the enemy to your allies. And the T-50-2 is one of the best and most popular tanks in World of Tanks.

Next comes the T-28 branch, which will carry the first heavy tank - KV-1, the former legendary KV. From it there is a transition to the KV-2 (with a powerful 152 mm gun), T-150 (heavily armored tank) and KV-1S (the most popular Tier 6 tank). From KV-2 you can switch to artillery and T-150. The KV-1s leads to faster but less armored heavy tanks, while the T-150 leads to slower and more armored tanks.

Bottom line

28.3.2017 5120 Views

Players pay special attention to the Soviet branch of World of Tanks tanks of all types, because many choose this technique not only for its unique and enjoyable gameplay, but also for its historical attachment to this technique.

Almost all tanks of the Soviet Union have a low chance of engine fire, which greatly increases the survivability of these vehicles, and the variety of gameplay will allow you to choose the type of equipment that will bring the player maximum pleasure.

The main task of a light tank is to detect the enemy and assist the team by transmitting intelligence about the movement of enemy forces.

This type of tank has a rather complex gameplay, because all tanks that belong to this type have a relatively small margin of safety, lack strong armor, and in most cases have a weapon with low damage per shot.

But at the same time, players who choose to play on light Soviet tanks receive excellent mobility, camouflage (which remains consistently high when moving and in a stationary vehicle), as well as excellent visibility.

Light tanks of the Soviet research branch have excellent speed and power-to-weight ratios compared to similar vehicles of other nations. Most light tanks of the USSR have excellent camouflage, which allows, if played correctly, to remain unnoticed and confidently transmit intelligence data to the allies throughout the entire battle.

With relatively low damage per shot, the guns of these tanks have high damage per minute, which is often decisive in a duel with enemy light tanks or when breaking through to artillery.

The Soviet medium tank research branch features a wide variety of vehicles that are quite different from the medium tanks of other nations.

The main tasks of the vehicles are flank breakthroughs into the rear of enemy forces and inflicting a large amount of damage to enemy vehicles.

But the uniqueness of Soviet medium vehicles lies in the fact that all high-level tanks have excellent turret armor, which makes it possible to fight almost equally with heavy enemy tanks, while hiding the vehicle’s hull in the terrain.

Another important advantage is the excellent guns, which have excellent damage per minute. This fully compensates for the relatively low armor penetration parameter of the basic projectile and allows you to confidently fight even against several vehicles at the same time.

The disadvantages of medium-sized USSR vehicles include mediocre gun depression angles and mediocre maximum speed.

The most popular tanks of the Soviet Union are heavy tanks. These machines have so many advantages that they are ideal for those new to the game. At the same time, experienced players can show simply mind-blowing results using this type of technique.

A feature of heavy tanks of the USSR is strong armor, relatively excellent mobility and good one-time damage indicators for guns. Almost all heavy tanks in the Soviet branch of World of Tanks are famous for their impenetrability and are capable of holding off entire directions on their own.

High-level Soviet heavy tanks have simply impenetrable turret armor and, if played correctly, are capable of record levels of blocked damage. Also, some vehicles have hull armor of the “Pike Nose” type, which allows, if the hull is positioned correctly, to repel enemy shells of even colossal calibers.

The disadvantage of this armor arrangement is the inability to tighten the vehicle hull due to a sharp drop in the value of the reduced armor. The guns of these vehicles are rather inaccurate, but this is more than compensated by the huge one-time damage, heavy tanks of the 7th level can take away a third of the strength of an enemy of their level in one shot, and such legendary vehicles as the KV-2 are capable of sending most targets into the hangar with one shot, especially lightly armored ones.

The role of tank destroyers on the battlefield is to destroy all enemy tanks in the player’s field of view. The tank destroyers of the Soviet Union are best suited for this task. Vehicles of this type have guns with huge one-time damage and armor penetration.

The excellent camouflage of Soviet vehicles allows them to destroy enemy vehicles without the risk of being detected. Often, players on Soviet tank destroyers remain undetected throughout the entire battle.

The disadvantages of this type of equipment include very poor visibility, but the correct selection of additional equipment and a properly trained crew can compensate for this disadvantage.

Weak armor and, in some cases, insufficient mobility also introduce some inconvenience when playing with this vehicle, but all this is compensated by the pleasure of the gun. It’s so nice to fire at an enemy who has no idea where he’s coming from.

Thanks to such features of Soviet technology, players often inflict mind-boggling amounts of damage.

Soviet self-propelled guns have gameplay that is strikingly different from other types of equipment. They have the ability to fire at almost any point on the map, while remaining safe in the vicinity of their base.

The main shells of such equipment are high-explosive fragmentation shells, which have a high chance of disabling the internal modules and crew members of the enemy vehicle. Large caliber guns make it possible not only to disable several modules of an enemy vehicle, but also to hit several vehicles at once.

As the player explores the branch of Soviet self-propelled guns, the player has the opportunity to play on vehicles with relatively good mobility, guns with high one-time damage, or guns with high damage per minute. The disadvantage of this technique is the almost complete lack of armor, which makes it vulnerable in close combat, poor accuracy of the gun and poor projectile speed.

Another significant drawback is the lack of a good overview.

Premium vehicles in the World of Tanks game include a set of vehicles of different types that have increased profitability compared to similar tanks of the same levels.

Owners of such equipment almost never have problems with the in-game currency – silver. Also, such vehicles have an accelerated time for pumping up crew perks and do not require retraining of the crew when transferring them from a non-premium vehicle.

Soviet premium tanks are presented in almost all classes except artillery. This variety of machines will significantly simplify the speed of development in the game. In addition, most of the Soviet premium tanks have a preferential battle level, which will allow you to best show your vehicle in tank battles and earn a lot of silver from each battle.

The development branch of the USSR in world of tanks is the most universal, since in the presence of Soviet units there are vehicles that can appeal to almost anyone, even the most experienced tanker.

There are also Light Tanks, which really rush across the battlefield; and Medium - a little slower, but more damaging; and Heavy - slow vehicles that can take out smaller versions of vehicles with 1 hit, or, on the contrary, become a wall of protection for allies. Also, tank destroyers and tank destroyers will not leave anyone indifferent.

Today, the development branch of the USSR in world of tanks has 70 tanks, and more than a dozen premium vehicles are included in this list

Almost any vehicle can adapt to dramatically changed battle conditions. The second interesting point of this thread is consistency. Soviet tanks undergo virtually no changes and remain with their original characteristics, undergoing very few adjustments.

Plus, when playing on this branch from time to time, the equipment will be firmly etched in your memory, and since the tanks in the game are very believable in historical terms, which will have a good effect on your knowledge of Soviet history. Let it be only military. Well, perhaps the most important reason is patriotism.

Due to the fact that during the creation of the game, the Russian branch was developed first, colossal work was done on it.

It was here that the first and truly unique tanks went, for example, the T-34, in addition to the fact that the tank itself appeared in history

In the game he has quite high characteristics, which makes him indispensable in the game for any tactics. What also especially attracts attention is the self-propelled gun, which is called Object 261. What makes it unique is that in addition to artillery fire, which is not particularly useful in urban conditions, Object 261 is capable of very effective direct fire.

Where to start for a new player who has decided to fully upgrade the USSR branch? First of all, it is best to complete the medium tanks branch, because... they are somewhat of a middle ground. Further study will be carried out on heavy, light and tank destroyers.

Artillery or self-propelled guns should be studied last, since they are the most difficult in terms of the game and the study itself will take a lot of time.

Having studied all Soviet tanks, the player will be able to understand which ones he plays best and which ones he is less useful for the team. Although the USSR branch is the most universal, in the branches of other nations there are also decent units that you need to ride at least once.
