Strike Them Down With the Venomous Vipera!

Commanders!

Survival 101. If a comrade bites into something and dies, it's poisonous. If the beast bites into its prey and it dies, it's venomous – just like the Vipera, the new tank destroyer in town!

Available from August 31 at 13:00 UTC+8 through September 12 at 13:00 UTC+8

This new creature is ready to hunt for prey along with its brethren from the additional Italian tank destroyer line. The Vipera boasts a 5-shell autoloader that deals painful bites to opponents. Its semi-traversable turret gives it some flexibility to fend off threats. And it also has plenty of frontal armor to deal with confrontations.

How To Play the Vipera

Are you ready to take control of the VIII SMV CC-64 Vipera , the brand-new Tier VIII Italian Tank Destroyer with an appetite for causing damage? Here's everything you need to know about this hotshot before you take on the battlefield's heavy armor!

 Firepower

Like the Tier VII–X vehicles of the new Italian Tank Destroyer line, the Vipera sports an autoloader.  It spits out 5 shells in 24 seconds, with each dealing a decent 400 damage per shot with 220 mm of penetration. The 6 second delay between shots is unconventional and forces careful targeting—not aided by a 2.88 second aim time and mediocre accuracy—but it allows you to deal a quick 2,000 damage. The 34.52 second reload speed might seem long, yet it is comparable to that of French Tank Destroyers with a smaller clip. With -10 degrees of gun depression and a rotating turret with a 90 degree arc, you will have plenty of offensive flexibility.

 Mobility

While the 30 km/h top speed won't propel you to the best spots first or let you reposition quickly while reloading, it isn't bad for a well armored vehicle. The hull's traverse speed is relatively slow, yet the decent turret traverse speed provides some compensation. Factor in the mobility and its limitations when exposing yourself or engaging opponents to avoid getting caught out.

 Survivability

If your Vipera does come under fire, you can rely on its tough frontal turret and hull armor to keep you in the game. The turret has 275/160/50 mm of armor, with 300 mm of effective armor at the front, and the hull's armor is 210/100/50 mm thick. The Italian's lower glacis plate is less reliable, and the turret's roof is only 40 mm thick, exposing it to SPGs, but its low cupola is very hard for enemies to hit. Thanks to strong turret angles, the armor is still effective while the turret is turned, and the frontal armor profile allows for more aggressive positioning.

 

 Recommended Crew Skills

Train your crew in the following skills to maximise their performance in the Vipera.

Since it has the same crew layout as the Tier VII—X tech tree Italian Tank Destroyers, the Vipera is good at training crews for the new line.

Safe Stowage comes into effect after it reaches 100%. If two Loaders have the Perk, the effect is not cumulative.

Adrenaline Rush

This Perk accelerates gun loading if the vehicle has less than 10% of its hit points left. Adrenaline Rush is more effective when combined with Gun Rammer.

Adrenaline Rush comes into effect after it reaches 100%. If two Loaders have the Perk, the effect is not cumulative.

Intuition

This Perk creates a chance that the proper shell is already loaded when switching between shell types. The gun must be completely loaded before the Perk can be used again.
