▲ Battle Pass Token Tank!
Hello World of Tanks players, the Battle Pass IX Season event ends on November 29th at 02:00! Tokens earned after completing certain Battle Pass stages can be redeemed for unique Level 9 tanks and other in-game items in special sections of the in-game armory. The current Season IX is the last Battle Pass season of 2022, and we recommend that you use your Battle Pass Tokens before converting them to War Bonds on December 20. There are 7 Tier 9 special tanks to choose from this season, and this article analyzes their performance for you!
cobra
▲ The performance of the cobra is quite special
Recommended exchange index: ☆☆☆☆
The Y-series Zhongtan Cobra, which requires 24 tokens, is undoubtedly the "crown jewel" in the 2022 Battle Pass event, not only has a peculiar appearance, but also has quite a special combat performance! Cobra's 120mm tank gun has a 4-round magazine, and when using special HESH ammo, Cobra can deal a staggering 1960 damage in just 4.5 seconds, which is enough to kill/damage most tanks in the game. However, the Cobra's large reload time is extremely long, and the special HESH ammunition penetrates only 210 mm deep. Its gun expansion coefficient is slightly worse, while the aiming time is completely at the level of heavy tanks, and the gun expansion circle after firing is also quite large. This is a tank with outstanding advantages and disadvantages, and it should only be harnessed by entertaining or adventurous players.
Lorraine 50t
▲Lorraine 50t
Recommended exchange index: ☆☆☆☆
The F-series heavy tanlorin 50t, which requires 18 tokens, is more "ordinary" than the cobra, but this is not a reason to underestimate it! The Lorraine 50T fully inherits the Lorraine 40T's tradition of high mobility, it has a maximum forward speed of 60, and with a qualified power-to-weight ratio and tracked terrain resistance, the Lorraine 50T can compete with medium tanks for key points at the beginning of the battle. Moreover, the Lorraine 50T also has a 120mm main gun with excellent penetration and a turret with good defense, and it can also rely on its outstanding "selling" ability to suppress the enemy after grabbing the spot. However, the Lorraine 50t's hull defense is not good, and it needs to be paid more attention in battle.
Kunze test vehicle
▲Kunze test vehicle
Recommended exchange index: ☆☆☆
The Quinze test vehicle had roughly the same defense as the Leopard 1 prototype, and the tank gun also used a modified 105 mm L7 tank gun. The biggest feature of the "Kunze Test Vehicle" is that it has a liquid and gas suspension design similar to the V series tank destroyer, which allows the vehicle to enter the "siege mode", in which the gun accuracy and three-expansion coefficient of the "Kunze Test Vehicle" will be greatly improved, and the depression angle will increase to -15 ° and the elevation angle will increase to 20 °, which is very conducive to combat in mountain conditions. However, the "siege mode" of the "Kunze Test Vehicle" will reduce the vehicle's top speed to 30 km/h, and at the same time reduce the loading speed of the gun, and the base DPM will be reduced from 2624 to the level of 1984. It also takes 2 seconds to switch between "siege mode" and "driving mode", which puts the player operating the car to a test when to switch modes.
K-91-PT
▲K-91-PT
Recommended exchange index: ☆☆
The chassis of the K-91-PT was derived from the K-91, a Class 10 medium tank, which made the two bodies similar in defense and maneuverability. However, the frontal armor of the fighting compartment of the K-91-PT was greatly enhanced, and the defense was similar to that of Project 263. The K-91-PT uses a unique 122 mm caliber S-34-49 tank gun with an average damage of 390 points per shot, with a penetration depth of 258 mm for standard ammunition and 315 mm for special ammunition. The K-91-PT is the most outstanding thing about its output ability, the base DPM is an astonishing 2837, it only takes more than 8 seconds to reload a shell, and the accessories and crew skills are higher. However, the K-91-PT did not have a turret and the vehicle's defenses were relatively low, both of which limited the practical use of the vehicle.
AE Phase I
▲AE Phase I
Recommended exchange index: ☆☆☆☆☆
The M-series heavy tank AE Phase I has 4 tracks from the outside, but it does not have the emergency track mechanism of the Yoh tank, so it actually has the same effect as a normal car. AE Phase I is a very standard American heavy tank with strong turret defense and excellent pitch angle, which is very suitable for mountain combat. The armor defense on the nose of the car of the car is also good, and the frontal armor weaknesses are only the commander's conning tower on the top of the turret and the head of the hull. The combat style of the AE Phase I is similar to that of the T110E5/M103, and the 120mm M58 tank gun used in it is also the standard tank gun of the M series advanced heavy tanks, and the gun control data is quite balanced. In every sense, AE Phase I is one of the most suitable level 9 special heavy tans for players to exchange, because it stands out as a "stable" word.
Advanced tank No. 4
▲No. 4 advanced combat vehicle
Recommended exchange index: ☆☆☆☆
The F-Series Medium Tank No. 4 Advanced Tank can be called a "little Chadylon" because its combat style is somewhat similar to that of the Level 10 Chadiren 25t. The No. 4 Advanced Vehicle uses 105 guns with an average damage of 390 points per shot, has a 4-round magazine, and has a "small reload" time of up to 4 seconds, which requires players to learn to fire at the right time. The mobility and concealment of the No. 4 advanced combat vehicle are very close to those of the Chadiren 25t, which allows the vehicle to take on the task of a light tank to a certain extent, but it can also hit a round of bursts at critical moments to cause fatal damage to the enemy. The No. 4 Advanced Tank is a medium tank that only advanced players can handle.
Project 777 Type II
▲Project 777 Type II
Recommended exchange index: ☆☆☆
The S-series heavy tank Project 777 II continued the usual design of some S-series heavy tanks, such as excellent turret frontal defense and poor gun depression angle. However, the vehicle uses a turret mid-mounted configuration similar to Western heavy tanks, which allows the vehicle to expose its weaknesses in real combat. And due to the low overall height of the tank, its turret weaknesses are vulnerable to enemy attack. Project 777 II uses the same main gun as the 122 mm gun used by the IS-4/T-10, with an average damage of 440 points for armor-piercing shells, 258 mm penetration for standard ammunition, 340 mm depth for special ammunition, and only 1980 basic DPM. Considering the "traditional" nature of the 777 Project II and the mainstream combat style of the current version, it is recommended for players who prefer S-series heavy tanks to redeem this car.
▲Which car will you choose?
Finally, to summarize the order of redemption of the tanks:
Highest priority exchange: Cobra, AE Phase I, Advanced Vehicle No. 4
Priority exchange: Kunze test car, Lorraine 50t
Redeem as appropriate: Project 777 II, K-91 PT
The performance of the AE Phase I of the M-series heavy tank is very balanced and easy to use. Players who prefer high-mobility medium tanks can exchange them for the F-series medium tank No. 4 advanced tank or the D-series medium tank "Kunze Test Vehicle", which are more difficult to get started but powerful. Which tank will you choose?
