In this article, we will look at all World of Tanks level 10 drum tanks and make a comparison between them.

Performance comparison of Kranvang, AMX 50B, T57 Heavy

The main characteristics of heavy tanks with a drum loading system, no matter how trite it may sound, are the speed of reloading the drum, the speed of reloading between shots, DPM and the maneuverability of the tank. After all, having issued a full drum on the enemy, you also need to get out of the shelling, and so: The image shows all the necessary values. Let us analyze in more detail the time spent on reloading a full drum, where the Swedish Kranvang takes an honorable second place and is the golden mean between the top TTs, and it is 27,41 seconds.

Reload between projectiles 2,75 sec is the longest among drums, but you can still get used to it. The T57 Heavy is clearly the leader here, with a 2 second reload time between projectiles and 23.44 seconds for the entire drum. It is worth mentioning the aiming speed of the gun, because on the T57 Heavy it will not be possible to throw the drum from the “turn”, it is necessary to reduce, with the exception of head-on collisions with the enemy. The Swedish and French heavy tanks are comfortable in this regard. The spread of the Swedish is not very good, and at long distances it will be very problematic to target the enemy's vulnerable points. The mobility of the Kranvang is very similar to the AMX 50B, where the T57 Heavy clearly loses here.

Armor comparison Kranvang, AMX 50B, T57 Heavy

Compared with the existing drums, the armored turret has very high rates, and if you take into account the reduced armor when firing from behind the terrain, using your HVL, the only main thing is that a random suitcase from artillery does not fly in.

Should I download Swedish TT level 10 Kranvang

You are probably also wondering: Should I pump out the new Swedish Kranvang heavy tank?» The answer is obvious, yes worth it. Moreover, do not forget that the drum tank also takes out damage! And this means passing LBZ, especially TT 15, or it will be possible. We provide a screenshot of the battle on the mines map:

So, draw your own conclusions, but remember, the Swedish TT appeared, showing the maneuverability of the AMX 50B and plus an armored turret.

Today we will talk about the new mechanics of reloading the drum, which will fully appear in World of Tanks 1.0 in the spring of 2018.

The first nation with a new mechanism for reloading shells into the drum will be Italy. The first Tier 8 medium tank in the premium class will be equipped with a new in-game gun loading system and will appear a little earlier than the nation of Italy. Before we talk about the essence of reloading, we note that in the wot 1.0 patch, a new interface will appear with an indication of the time for reloading shells into the drum. Several interactive icons in the form of projectiles will appear under the crosshair, filling in green as the weapon is loaded.

The interface will also show:

• how many shells are left
• what time is left before loading the projectile into the drum,
• what is the charging status now,
• what is the reload between shots.

The interface will only be displayed on Italian tanks that have the new reload mechanic. Subsequently, in World versions of Tanks 1.0, tanks with the same mechanism for filling the drum with shells appeared in other nations in the game. Today, several dozen combat vehicles presented in the game have a loading drum. The time has come for a diverse application of the loading mechanism - the loading drum. We will talk about this below.

Now about the essence of the new mechanism. The first Italian tanks will have a reloading mechanism, including:

• not one projectile for a shot, but several, as in a conventional loading drum;
• a pause will be added between the shells when the tank will not be able to fire, called recharging inside the drum;
• just like conventional guns, tanks with a reloading mechanism will load shells immediately after firing;
• reloading of the gun will occur only in automatic mode (this is a distinctive feature of the drum reloading mechanism from a conventional loading drum);
• if a shot is made before the reloading of the projectile ends, then it will be interrupted and the reloading process will start again (To prevent this, you need to wait until the projectile is loaded and only after that make the next shot. Often you will not be able to shoot);
• the reloading of the first projectile fired lasts 8 seconds, the second 11 seconds, the third 14 seconds (if you fired three shells at once, the first one will be charged for 14 seconds, the second 11, the third 8 - i.e. in reverse order).
• the more shells in the drum, the faster it is reloaded;

Thus, the shell reloading mechanism in World of Tanks is a middle, intermediate link between the cyclic principle of loading shells (for conventional tanks) and the cassette principle of loading shells (for tanks with a standard loading drum).

1. you can shoot one shell at a time, waiting for it to be reloaded immediately after the shot (Then each shell will be reloaded for 8 seconds. This is the fastest way to load a gun for Italian tanks).
2. or you can shoot all the shells at once (But charging will then take so long that an Italian tank with a reloading mechanism will take longer to load than any French tank with a conventional loading drum).
3. but the best option for using the projectile reloading mechanism would be the following tactic (You shoot once at the enemy. If the projectile ricochets, reload the drum while going into cover. Then repeat the shot and if it is made with penetration, make a series of shots, then retreat to reload.).

We remind you once again that Italian tanks appeared in World of Tanks 1.0, and today they have already grown into a development tree with a full-fledged branch of combat vehicles.

Having played on a tank with a loading drum, it is impossible to remain indifferent. The ability to leave the enemy almost dead in a few seconds, as well as inflict a bunch of HP on him, has always attracted players. However, playing drum tanks is very difficult process. Most of them have no armor, and the 40 second reload time, like the AMX 50 100 or T54E1, does not give you the opportunity to relax, since during this period you can do anything with you.

If the French tanks have good speed, which allows them to run for cover while reloading, the American tanks are completely devoid of this advantage. However, they do not remain without their fans due to excellent stabilization and high speed of aiming guns. By the way, it is especially convenient to control them on a game console (if not, you can buy it on the website http://www.maxgame.com.ua/).

How do you play drum tanks anyway?

First of all, you need to understand that you cannot take damage yourself, for this you need allies. It's good to know how long your reload lasts, and what reload the enemy has. Time the distribution of the drum well so that it does not receive retaliatory damage. It's better to shoot 3 times out of 4 and not get a response than to give the whole drum and hit half the hit points. It is also worth noting that drum tanks have very poor mixing, so they, with rare exceptions, do not have time to converge between shots. And the exception is the T57 Heavy, which, with the “Call Box”, ventilation and combat brotherhood, is reduced just by reloading inside the drum.

The most important thing on a tank with a loading drum is to find a convenient position from which you can distribute the drum and hide to reload. This is the most difficult task, so drum tanks are not recommended for beginners. However, if you still decide to test your strength on this type of technique, you should study all the available cards well, since you will have to attack opponents from the second line of attack for half the battle.

Features of French and American tanks in WoT

American tanks are characterized by fast reloading, both of the whole drum and inside it. The advantages include both quick aiming and excellent stabilization of the gun on the move. Even American tanks often beat off shells, because they have such a hull structure.

French tanks have a huge amount of damage in the drum, which the Americans cannot boast of. Also, cassette French have good speed and do not experience problems with penetration. However, the French tanks, compared with the American ones, have a significant drawback. They have a much higher reload inside the drum, which greatly reduces the rate of fire when you are already loaded. On French tanks, you will have to stand under enemy fire for longer, and their cardboard armor does not at all conducive to this.

Which drum weight is cooler?

There are only three heavy tanks in the game that have drum-loading guns: Т57 Heavy, AMX 50B and Kranvagn
1) T57 Heavy - melee tank. This doesn't mean it's not melee-piercing, it means it's not hitting with ranged combat. He has not the worst accuracy among those gathered (it is extremely the same for them), he has the worst mixing at 2.9 seconds and poor stabilization. If you want to shoot into the distance, you will have to freeze and wait a very, very long time. The tank reloads its drum rather quickly. this is generally the fastest drum in the wild west, and everything inside the drum is also very fast. The problem is that at a long distance we do not have time to realize our rapid-fire drum due to the long mixing. It is also worth noting that after shooting the entire drum, the enemy rarely rushes you, as he knows that you have a fast reload

What is good about the Swedish tank Kranvagn? First of all, he has a very solid and small tower - this is his bright and calling card, and as a rule, if there is a relief somewhere, then it is better to take it on Kranvagan. a relief that allows you to hide the hull and stick out only with a tower. For many other tanks, this would also be great, but for example, in the same ISA-7, the gun does not bend down that much, although the tower is also strong. And here it bends very strongly, by as much as twelve degrees. Sometimes this is enough, and sometimes this is not enough when you completely overestimate your tank. That's all, that's all the bright advantages of Kranvagan. The rest of the tank is rather controversial. I would say in Russian, without any wagging, "I don't like him at all" and I also don't really like his branch that needs to be downloaded in order to get it.

Well, the star, the star of many "cyber cutlets" and the star of many who generally love drum technology is French heavy tank AMX50B. What is it good for and what are its main advantages. He is the fastest tier ten heavy tank plus has a drum. As a result, we do not have much armor, but sometimes it is found in places. If we have a hundred millimeters in the tower, then it becomes about one hundred and fifty millimeters given there, sometimes something will bounce off, there are quite a lot of different thicknesses in the case. In short - the armor is situational. Most importantly, the tank has amazing stabilization and fast aiming time. How not to turn this tank for both accurate long-range shooting and accurate close-range shooting. Another important plus is the speed of the shells of our tank, both armor-piercing and sub-caliber shells fly very quickly
