Vehicle Description

A unique Tier X Soviet heavy tank designed to break through enemy defensive lines. Its four tracks replace the lower glacis plate and can confuse an inexperienced enemy. Its powerful gun with high penetration allows you to cause damage to anyone who stands in your way.

Historical Reference

An early variant of a blueprint project for a high crossing capacity heavy tank with a new configuration scheme. Developed in 1947–1948 by L. S. Troyanov. This vehicle was to feature a low four-track engine, mounted on longitudinal beams that also served as fuel tanks, considerably reducing the chance of fire. These solutions provided high crossing capacity and survivability: the tank could continue moving even with damaged tracks. The placement of the hull above the suspension allowed for a large fighting compartment, and as a result, increased ammunition and an improved autoloader mechanism for a high rate of fire. A functional prototype was manufactured in 1948.
