World of tanks Holiday Ops 2027 – Tank predictions

Petra

The Petra is a Czechoslovak Tier IX heavy tank whose defining feature is its double-gun system. It offers great flexibility with an extremely short salvo preparation time of 1.5 seconds. Its serious damage per shot of 410 HP becomes particularly destructive when firing a salvo, allowing it to threaten even higher-tier opponents. However, its mobility is rather mediocre with a top speed of only 35 km/h. Furthermore, its armor has a considerable number of weak spots, meaning it can’t rely purely on its defenses. It is designed as a breakthrough tank, best used to spearhead an assault and punish enemies with its powerful dual cannons.

NK-1

The NK-1 is a Soviet Tier IX premium heavy tank built for breakthrough gameplay. It combines the design philosophies of the IS-7 and the Object 277, aiming for a balance of firepower, protection, and mobility. Its 130 mm gun delivers a punchy 490 HP of damage per shot, though it has a long reload and poor accuracy, making it best suited for close-quarters brawling. The armor is reliable, especially the turret, but its 380m view range is mediocre for its tier. With a top speed of 50 km/h, it can keep up with the assault, but its low power-to-weight ratio means it takes time to reach that speed.

63TP Rycerski

The 63TP Rycerski is a Tier IX Polish premium heavy tank designed for a breakthrough role. It combines a solid top speed of 45 km/h with strong turret armor and a hard-hitting gun. Its 130 mm gun deals 450 HP of damage per shot. A notable feature is its excellent -8 degrees of gun depression, which provides more flexibility on uneven terrain than many of its peers. This combination of mobility, firepower, and gun depression makes it a formidable and flexible heavy tank.

Object Veles

The Object Veles is a Soviet Tier X heavy tank and a classic example of an assault vehicle. It possesses everything needed to hold positions and push directions: excellent hull and turret armor with frontal nominal values of 350 mm and 320 mm respectively. Its armament is a fearsome 152 mm gun with a massive 700 HP of single-shot damage. This allows it to dominate in close-range engagements and serve as an immovable object or an unstoppable force. It is a slow, heavily armored brawler that excels at leading the charge.

Pike

The Pike is a Tier IX British premium assault heavy tank. Its defining feature is a 128 mm gun equipped with a three-shell autoloader. With a 5-second intra-clip reload, it can deliver a punishing 1,350 HP of damage in a short burst. However, this burst potential is balanced by a long full reload time of 32 seconds, making it vulnerable while reloading. It is a formidable brawler that can quickly eliminate enemies with its magazine.

PGZ-70

Probably the most controversial vehicle that has been added to the supertest in a while, probably because the community still has nightmares from unnerfed American autocannon tanks.

The PGZ-70 is a Chinese Tier IX medium tank equipped with a unique autocannon mechanic. Its 57 mm dual autocannon can dish out around 1,400 HP of damage in just 4 seconds, even against well-armored targets. This makes it a terrifying “soft-target destroyer” that can chase and annihilate lightly armored vehicles. To compensate for its paper-thin armor, it has excellent mobility with a top speed of 60 km/h. It is a high-skill, glass-cannon assassin that relies on speed and overwhelming burst damage.

Radkampfwagen

The Radkampfwagen is a German Tier X wheeled medium tank. It’s a high-mobility vehicle. Its concept envisioned a fast, well-armed vehicle for reconnaissance and combat, using an 8×8 wheel configuration and independent suspension. This gives it excellent mobility for flanking and repositioning. While it may not have the armor to brawl, its speed allows it to control the engagement range. It is a unique vehicle that offers a completely different playstyle from traditional tracked mediums.

Ziqiang

The Renmin Tanke, also known as the Ziqiang, is a Tier IX Chinese assault medium tank. Its distinguishing feature is a unique two-round autoloader where both shells are stored in a single container. This makes it a fascinating vehicle with a unique burst-fire mechanic. It should offer a whole new type of playstyle, but probably not for beginner players.

Jezevec

The Jezevec is a Tier IX American support medium tank that is equipped with a unique autoreloading gun. Due to its small caliber, its damage per shot is low at just 180 HP, but it compensates with a large magazine and a fast rate of fire. This allows it to deliver consistent, sustained damage over a long period. Its role is to provide supporting fire and wear down enemies with its high volume of shells.

Donnola

The Donnola, Italian for “Weasel,” is a swift Tier IX Italian light tank. It has excellent mobility with a top speed of 70 km/h and good concealment, making it a superb scout. Its combat capability comes from its 3-shell autoloader, allowing it to not only spot targets but also deal significant burst damage. This combination of scouting and firepower makes it a powerful “active scout” that can both spot for its team and assassinate key targets.

Headshaker

The Headshaker is a Tier IX British versatile tank destroyer. It is the first British tank destroyer with a new “Gun Cooling” mechanic. Its main armament can fire powerful HESH rounds with a massive 720 HP of single-shot damage. The turret can rotate 30 degrees to each side, giving it some flexibility over casemate TDs. Its combination of high-damage HESH and decent mobility makes it a fearsome sniper.

AHT-7

The AHT-7 is an American Tier X tank destroyer. It is an assault vehicle built on a heavy tank chassis and is equipped with a massive 165.1 mm gun. Its standard HEAT round deals a devastating 900 HP of damage, while its special HESH shells deal a monstrous 1,300 HP of damage. It has very good armor, especially against HEAT shells, giving it the durability of a heavy tank. Additionally, it features the “emergency tracks” mechanic, preventing it from being permanently immobilized. It is a slow, heavily armored beast that can one-shot many lower-tier vehicles and is a terrifying opponent to face head-on.

Zmije

The Zmije is a Tier IX Czechoslovak tank destroyer. It has a fully rotating turret, a top forward speed of 50 km/h, and good gun depression of -10 degrees. Its firepower comes from a six-round magazine, allowing it to deliver a massive burst of damage. It represents an interesting hybrid between traditional tank destroyer sniping and a more aggressive, mobile playstyle. It offers a unique and flexible way to play the class, capable of both supporting from afar and pushing with the team.
