Object 274a

Just like most Soviet medium tanks,  VIII Object 274a  is a versatile vehicle with a tough bouncy turret and solid hull armor. Its 107 mm gun boasts great penetration and delivers 320 points of alpha damage, which means this medium can even jump into a 1-on-1 duel with a heavy tank and come out on top—so long as you play to its strengths. Although it’s best suited for clashes at short and medium ranges, if the situation on the battlefield becomes unfavorable for your team, it can beat a quick retreat and provide cover for its allies.

The vehicle features great frontal hull and turret armor. The combination of armor thickness and the angles of its slope allow it to repel enemy shells with confidence. The main thing is not to show the vehicle’s vulnerable sides and rear, because the HP pool of this medium tank is quite low.

The vehicle’s dynamics are definitely enough to keep up with other allied mediums and provide support for allied heavies. When needed, the Object 274а can change flanks or fall back to defend the base. Its mobility is enough to handle any combat situation.
