The tank’s strange UFO-like shape was optimized to make its frontal sector completely impervious to enemy armor-piercing or HEAT shells and its massive 130mm M-65 cannon was perhaps the most powerful tank gun of the era. Another rather unique feature was its four-track suspension that allowed it to retain extremely favorable ground pressure and thus off-road capabilities – when going forward. In reality, steering was very difficult and put a lot of stress on the whole system, resulting in very poor agility as well as reliability issues. The suspension system was also hydro-pneumatic and thus capable of lowering the tank to a static position. And last but not least, the tank was equipped with a NBC system, allowing it to not only survive in irradiated environment, but also, thanks to its distinctive shape, to withstand a nuclear blast shockwave. While certainly impressive, the tank was also extremely expensive and suffered from a number of issues. It was thus never mass-produced and the only surviving prototype is located in the Kubinka tank museum. ==Vehicle Traits== *Armored: This vehicle's armor can withstand a lot of punishment, allowing it to survive even serious firefights. *Heavy Weapon: This vehicle carries one of the largest weapons around with significantly increased damage per shot. *Off-Road Capability: This vehicle has increased maneuverability in rough terrain and on soft surfaces that would normally slow a tank down. *Adjustable Suspension: This vehicle features a hydraulic suspension that allows you to manually change its ground clearance. *Smoke Generators: This vehicle generates smoke all around it and lays down smoke cover by driving forward. *Trained Crew: This vehicle comes with a fully trained Level 5 crew. {{Clear}} ==Ammunition== {| class="wikitable" style="width:100%; text-align:center;" ! style="display:none" | # !
