Supertest: Pawlack Tank Tier VI American Heavy Tank
3 min readThe Pawlack Tank, a Tier VI American heavy tank, is the starting vehicle of the Yoh branch. The Pawlack Tank is not technically a Yoh tank, unlike its higher-tier counterparts in the branch, this vehicle does not have a reserve track mechanic.
The Pawlack Tank is not technically a Yoh tank, unlike its higher-tier counterparts in the branch, this vehicle does not have a reserve track mechanic. The vehicle has decent mobility compared to other heavy tanks in the American branch. Its maximum forward speed is 45 m/h, and its specific power is 16.2h.p./t. The main gun has a calibre of 90mm and causes 240HP of damage per shot. Penetration with a standard Armour-Piercing shell is 160mm, and 205mm with a special APCR shell. The aiming time is 2.4s, and its accuracy is 0.42. The reload time is 8.4s.
The thickness of the armour plates in the frontal projection of the turret reaches 140mm, and it is 127mm in the hull area. The vehicle’s durability is 950HP. The gun depression/elevation angles are –5/15 degrees, respectively. The Pawlack Tank is a rather mobile heavy tank compared to its same-tier brethren—it has a relatively well-protected turret but unremarkable gun depression/elevation angles. You will still be able to play it using cover and on not-very-steep terrain, but you should always remember that your gun depression will not always allow you to cause damage from behind a hill. However, thanks to its mobility, the vehicle will allow for more confident position changes.
All characteristics are with a crew trained to 100% and subject to change before the final release.

Out of curiosity, is there actually any historical basis for this design? I know the Yoh tanks are based on a bunch of historical sketches, but what about this design?
Nice the see new tanks coming soon
Because it would just be too much to ask for the top gun to be shared with any of the other American tanks. Gotta make sure nobody can skip the stock grind unless they spend FXP.
private venture by Leon S. Pawlak, of Polish descent, for the US Army, he presented a scale mockup of the design
https://digital.library.wayne.edu/item/wayne:vmc65163
as if mocking us they made the stock gun be the same as the top gun on the T37 light tank, if you never played it you can probably get it unlocked for free
the top gun was the stock gun of the M48 Patton back when it was still Tier 9
I could not find the date when he presented his mockup but based on the outdated tank design philosophy I would say anytime before 1950, that would mean the 90mm M41 gun would not be available for it
historically the options would be:
90mm M3
90mm M3A1
90mm M36
90mm T54
90mm T15
most of those are already in the game
