01-08 July: [Premium Shop] Battle of Kursk

The IS-6 is a Tier VIII premium heavy tank which belongs to the Soviet tech tree. This tank has decent mobility for a Tier VIII heavy – especially when compared to the Löwe. It packs a punch with its high damage and can prove to be a lethal weapon in close proximity engagements. It has one of the highest DPM among Tier VIII premium heavy tanks.

The BT-SV is a light tank from the USSR tech tree. It's built to accelerate fast - which makes it the perfect vehicle for rushing into your enemy's base while team members distract their big guns. When opponents are firing at you, keep your armour angled well to increase chances of bouncing the shot.

This tank has a poor turning speed, so plan your moves well to avoid unwanted damage.

Tank commanders who enjoy bringing their foes to an abrupt and untimely end will love the Grosstraktor Krupp.

Its 75mm howitzer dishes out alpha damage in generous amounts. When used in conjunction with HE rounds, the Grosstraktor has the potential to immediately cripple or destroy poorly armoured foes in a single hit. Just don’t expect it to do the same against heavily-armoured or higher-tier tanks. Its main gun simply does not provide enough penetration for that.

Commanders who wish to use the Grosstraktor should focus on locating and destroying targets with weaker armour, and must compensate for the main gun’s low accuracy and low shell velocity. If forced to fight heavy tanks, try to move together with your allies instead of taking them on by yourself. The Grosstraktor is not good at taking punishment.

In summary, the Grosstraktor Krupp is terror on tracks for any enemy vehicle with low armour and speed. If you prefer short engagements and enjoy driving a powerful cannon contained in a cardboard hull, this premium tank is the one for you!

The Dicker Max is a German tier VI tank destroyer. It works like a deadly secret agent - lurking in high places and waiting to ambush unsuspecting foes behind all corners. This tank dishes out high alpha damage and can penetrate armour of 127-211mm. It has a fairly accurate gun too.

Like all other tanks, keep the D. Max's strengths and weaknesses in mind. The D. Max has extremely weak armour, so make full use of its 400m view range, work with allied scouts and enjoy giving enemies a couple of smokes.

The SU-122-44 from the USSR tech tree puts up a good fight with its deadly DPM. Like most TDs, this tier 7 has very weak armour, but compensates with its ability to deal an insane amount of damage. Experts of hide and seek will love this tank. This tank is definitely a sniper, so make full use of its camouflage potential and have fun killing tanks long before they see you.

Its top speed of 47 km/h allows your tank to move to ideal positions fairly quickly, but remember to avoid being detected at all costs. As a Tank Destroyer, a good offence is a good defence. Kill them before they kill you.

The SU-100Y from the USSR is the stuff nightmares are made of. It has a very powerful 130mm gun which is extremely lethal on a tier 6 tank. If there are boss tanks to fight out there, this beast definitely qualifies. It may not be the fastest tier 6 Tank Destroyer, but it is easy to manoeuvre - which is great for tankers who are new to TDs.

As for the tank's weakness, be aware of your thin armour as many opponents will be able to down you quickly. The SU-100Y's signal range is not great either, so you will not be able to shoot well across tricky maps. But on the bright side, you won't have to worry too much about being chased by opponents. Fear will drive them away naturally with the exception of worthy opponents or the very foolish.
