TL-7

Introduced in 2023, the IX TL-7 is the first American vehicle in its class to include a four-round autoloader. The mighty 120 mm gun can dish out 360 HP of damage per round and has a 2.3 second intra-clip reload time. This means it unloads the four-round clip in under 7 seconds for a potential 1,440 HP of mid- to close-range burst damage. Use its 50 km/h top speed to surprise your opponents, unleash a meteorite shower of 1,060 m/s AP or 1,492 m/s APCR rounds, and dive back into cover to reload.

The parameters displayed are valid for the vehicle with each crew member trained to 100% major qualification level. Some vehicle characteristics can be further improved with the Commander's bonus to major qualification level, crew perks, and special in-game items.

The TL-7 is all about mid- to close-range burst fire. The 120 mm cannon's four-round clip can dish out 360 HP per round, with an intra-clip 2.3 s reload time, for a potential 1,440 DPM. However, there are a few drawbacks: The 0.4 m dispersion is low for a tank destroyer, while 252 mm of penetration is average among its Tier IX peers. Shell velocity fares a bit better, with 1,060 m/s for AP and 1,492 m/s on APCR rounds.

The TL-7 has 1,500 HP, which is on the shallow end of the pool for its tier and class. The spaced armor on the turret and hull is helpful, but with only 5 mm thickness, it's susceptible to HEAT rounds. Due to the shape of the turret, the closer it gets to the hull, the straighter the armor becomes, and thus the less effective it is. Angling and sidescraping are key to survival against incoming fire, as the vehicle's armor isn't thick enough to reliably block enemy shots. Also, remember to keep the large commander's cupola hidden!

Thanks to its decent resistance values and high specific power of 17.14 h.p./t, the TL-7 can reach its 50 km/h top speed quickly on hard and medium terrain. Its average 15 km/h reverse speed helps the vehicle withdraw from incoming fire, but beware of its sluggish 45 deg/s hull traverse speed.

Auction Rules

Expand
  1. Experience a dynamic open auction: In the open format, every lot is available for bidding at any moment during its active period. You will see the number of available items, the minimum bid, and the deadline for placing new bids. You will also see the number of bids that have already been made and the competitive (median) bid (after the number of bids has exceeded the number of available items).

  2. Bid with Free XP or Credits: Each lot exclusively accepts bets in one predetermined in-game currency: Free XP or credits. If the cost of a lot is specified in Free XP, it will not be possible to bid for it with credits, and vice versa.

  3. Bid Comfortably with Your Chosen Amount: The specified amount in Free XP or credits will be automatically deducted from your account.

  4. Manage your bids in real time: Adjust or cancel your bid while the lot is active. Once the lot closes, no modifications or cancellations are possible, and new bids won't be accepted. Canceling a bid ensures that any credits or Free XP you spent on it are returned to your account.

  5. Cross your fingers for victory: The number of winning players will depend on the number of items available. If multiple players make the lowest winning bid and there are more of these players than items to be distributed, priority goes to the players who placed their bids first.

  6. Enjoy quick rewards and refunds: Within a few hours of the bid deadline, victorious Auction participants will receive their unique vehicles. The remaining participants receive their bids back in full.
