[Premium Shop] Collector's Gem of the Week: T26E5 Patriot

Tank Commanders,

Hope you have an appetite for Stars and Stripes, because we're offering the  VIII T26E5 Patriot to you this week! Possessing a tough turret, decent speed and an accurate gun, this American heavy tank is highly versatile and suitable in handling many different roles.

For this edition of the Collectors Gem special, we're offering several different packages that feature either the T26E5 Patriot or the T26E5 'non-camo' version.

Why should I get the T26E5 Patriot?

• Tough turret and strong frontal armor. The T26E5 can take a beating from any Tier VIII medium tank. Angle its hull wisely and you’ll stand just as well against enemy heavies and tank destroyers.
• Unmatched pain tolerance. With its insane amount of HP (1500), it would take the enemy forever and a day to send you to the scrap heap.
• Great gun depression/elevation angle. Use hills to hide your hull from enemy fire and you’ll stand strong until the very end of the battle thanks to its combination of solid armor, endurance, and great gun depression.
• Fast-firing, accurate 90mm gun. Amplify its effect with extra modules and equipment, enroll a fully trained crew, and you will be a huge pain in the side for anyone who has to withstand your damage per minute of over 2,500 DPM. If the odds are in your favour, and you use your skills wisely, it’s enough to crush an enemy IS-7 in less than a minute. And you’ll still have time for two security shots!
• Base APCR shells. Good shell velocity coupled with 230mm penetration makes the T26E5 an intimidating opponent that can whittle down any foe with confidence.
• Top speed: 40 km/h. With decent mobility for a heavy tank, it accelerates reasonably well and enables you to secure key positions on the map in the first minutes of the battle, support medium tanks and flex across the map as needed.
• View range: 390m. Whether you are playing in attack or in defense, the T26E5’s decent view range (one of the best among Tier VIII heavies) allows you to locate enemies before they pose a threat, leaving you with enough time to think over a winning tactic.
