Tank Commanders!

This week’s Collector’s Gem is the Pz.Kpfw. B2 740 (f). This Tier 4 German heavy tank is highly manoeuvrable, packs a fast-reloading, fast-aiming main gun, and can take a whole lot of punishment with its thick side armour and high hit points. It doesn’t stop there – it even carries a whopping 112 rounds of ammunition!

This vehicle will be available in the Premium Shop from 22nd September 2015 to 24th September 2015 in a special weekly bundle, which includes 14,500, a free garage slot, and the vehicle itself.

We’re also holding a contest for all early bird adopters of the Pz. Kpfw B2 740 (f). Check out the details here!

Pz.Kpfw. B2 740 (f)	Package Name Collectors Gem of the Week Package Contents Pz. Kpfw. B2 740 (f) Garage Slot 14,500 Value in Gold 16,050 Price USD 65.37
Tank collectors, this is your chance to complete your collection with this rare Premium vehicle, which stands out amongst the other Tier IV tanks. With its high track traverse speed and acceleration, its fast-reloading and fast-aiming main gun, and excellent armour, you’ll be ready to respond to virtually any situation on the battlefield. You’ll be able to fight evenly with most Tier IV tanks, but don’t expect to outrun anyone with a top speed of 30 km/h. If you want a heavy tank with a unique brand of battlefield flexibility, look no further. Pros: High rate of fire, very short aim time and good gun depression 112 rounds of ammunition, which is enough for every situation. Only sees tier 4 battles, unlike the regular B1 Thick hull sides bounce most weapons of their tier when angled and high hit points Very good track traverse speed and adequate acceleration Cons: Main gun lacks penetration with standard rounds Enormous side profile attracts artillery/tank destroyer fire Frontal armor retains the 45mm weak spot Low top speed (30 km/h) Thin turret is easily penetrated up close, and turret hits can knock out the commander, who is also loader and gunner Exposed tracks don't absorb many shots
