World of Tanks - TVP T 27: Tier VIII Czechoslovakian Premium Tank (25 Jan)

Author's Note: Again, apologies for the delay in posting.

A tier VIII premium vehicle for the Czech tree has, at last, arrived on the supertest! Check it out!

Today we start the closed test of the TVP T 27: A Tier VIII Czechoslovakian Premium medium tank sporting an autoloader. Gameplay is like the top-tier vehicles of the same nation, but less powerful due to being lower-tier. The crew composition is the same as the top-tier one.

The autoloader drum holds three rounds and takes 20 seconds to fully reload. The between shot reload time is 1.8 seconds. The tank is armed with an 88-mm gun dealing 240 points of alpha damage, most effectively used at close to mid-range. The gun has an aiming time of 1.9 seconds and dispersion of 0.38 at 100 meters.

Among the other characteristics, the strengths of this tank are its gun depression and mobility. The vulnerabilities are consequences of its relatively large and poorly armoured hull.

As always, the tank’s parameters may change depending on the results of testing. Make sure to follow the news.
