Meet the New Ares Line
Meet the Ares family—four brand-new American medium tanks starting from Tier VIII and topped by a Tier XI, all equipped with distinctive Thermal Overheat Control autocannons. These autocannons fire continuously without a traditional reload cycle. Each shot is fired the moment you press the trigger—no clip reloads, no interruptions. You set the tempo yourself. Tap to maintain tighter control over temperature, or hold to unleash sustained burst fire.
Every shot generates heat, no matter how slowly you fire, and that heat gradually reduces the gun's effectiveness. If you fire rapidly or for too long, the weapon eventually reaches a critical temperature. At that point, the Thermal Overheat Control system activates and temporarily blocks firing to prevent damage, re-enabling the gun only after it cools back down.

Precision at Range
The Ares line rewards steady, well-managed firing cycles that let you keep the gun temperature—and your performance—under control. Fire short bursts or single rounds to keep the heat low and maintain higher accuracy. As long as the gun stays cool, each shot lands precisely, allowing you to pressure opponents at mid-range without risking overheating. Stay in control—stay effective!
Full Burst in Close Combat
When the fight gets close, just hold the trigger and unleash your full damage output. The gun will heat rapidly; accuracy will drop, but at close range every shell may find its mark. Sustain the fire until the gun overheats, then fall back while it cools down. Still, avoiding critical overheating is crucial—high temperatures steadily reduce your effectiveness, and once the gun reaches its safety limit, it temporarily locks until it cools down. The Ares line excels in these clinch engagements where raw DPM and an instant burst can turn the tide.

Thermal Overheat Control Autocannon
The gun can fire continuously without the need for reloading. Each shot generates heat. The higher the gun's temperature, the more some of its parameters change. Continuous firing will cause the gun to overheat, preventing further firing until it cools down.
