World of Tanks' first version of the new year, 1.23.1, has arrived as scheduled, with the release of a new R-series heavy tank branch with dual special mechanics, the second season of the Pegasus Race "Crimson Pegasus", and a crossover event with the classic movie "Kidnapping and Robbery" will also start on January 11.
R series second-line heavy tank: subverting tradition, relatively all-round
Most people have the impression that the R-series heavy tank is often the bulky, slow, and monolithic quinte. This new branch completely overturns the commanders' impression of the traditional R-series heavy tank. Instead of just looking for balanced protection, some of the premium cars in this branch are equipped with two interesting mechanics – dual aiming and liquid-air suspension.
Xiaobian got started with this new line as soon as the version was updated, and the best experience at present is actually the VIII level 57 type and IX level 68 type two cars, the firepower is good, the maneuverability is acceptable, the depression angle is very good, the body is not brittle and the turret is very reliable, and it is not brain-burning to play at all. The new mechanic of dual aiming essentially gives players one more option: they can load and fire the gun to maximize DPM, and the accuracy of the cooldown can also better hit weak points. Needless to say, the liquid gas suspension has this mechanism, which can effectively improve the pitch angle in the handbag and the 63 style of the previous Christmas box.
So, if you're a fan of this relatively all-around selling head, then this new branch is still worth experiencing, as you can use the terrain to sell your head and follow your teammates in a downwind game. If you've always played aggressively, then the fire control level of these new cars also fully supports the aggressive accessory style of adding health + turbo + losing ammunition, but the offensive ability is still weaker than that of the assault type and the breakthrough type heavy tank.
