Supertest: Manticore – Full Details
2 min readChimera 1955 was a STT design for a vehicle-mounted substitute for the BAT which was acceptable for use by the forward Infantry Position to provide AT defence for the Inf battalions up to 1000 yards.
The original vehicle was to be just 4ft.8 inches tall but this was deemed impossible. To avoid confusion, the vehicle will be named Manticore in World of Tanks.
The GSOR3301 AVR FS will be introduced in as a Tier IX British light tank and it will be one of the smallest vehicles in the game.

Why does the gun elevation are only 8 deg while the tier 9 has -10 / +35 (deg)? this is looks like a tipo O.o
With a crew of 2 it will be a blast to level up a decent crew for this thing
Harconnen i really dont know why WG will not give HESH rounds instead of the normal HE to those tanks… there are a lot of Brits that use that type of shells. WG could use the same concepte as on the weeled French tanks making the value of a HESH Pen the same value as caliber of the gun…
Rate of fire is really really bad. Worse than EBR’s rate of fire. 🙁
Excuse me but :
Concealment of Stationary Vehicle (36%)
Concealment of Moving Vehicle (6.48%) — (After shot, not of Moving Vehicle, no ?)
So the tank has the opposite of what game balance currently requires to effectively counter russian light tanks or wheeled vehicles: it has terrible dpm, bad accuracy, long reload, insufficient shell capacity, gun with no stabilizer, terrible armor, and its slow. What am i missing?
Does this make sense to anyone else? When pubs and clan matches are strongly skewed towards russians and wheel vehicles, is it not intuitive to release an effective counter to them particularly when the developers have a blank canvas upon which to create the tanks?
