Object 703 Version II Black Edition
Tier: VIII
Nation: U.S.S.R
Class: Heavy Tank
Yes, you’re seeing it right. This tank comes with two guns mounted on its turret. It also has a sloped and thick turret front that can help deflect incoming rounds from head-on encounters, making it a notable vehicle to consider for frontline combat.
What makes this beast from the east unique, however, is its dual-barrel gameplay.
Dual-Barrel Mechanics
Dual-barrel tanks will have unique firing mechanics and HUD to communicate the status of each gun and the firing mode selected. Here’s what to keep in mind while using the Object 703 Version II Black Edition:
Loading:
- Each gun will reload independently, with only one loading at a time.
Shooting:
- Dual barrel tanks have two firing modes that you can swap between during battle. To change modes, press the "Alt Mode" button. Generally this is Left on the D-Pad for most control schemes and Down on the D-Pad for the Driver control scheme.
- Single Fire (Default)
- After shooting the current gun, it will automatically switch to the next one. This is so you don’t keep holding the "Swap Gun" button after every shot to change to the other gun.
- You can still manually swap guns, if you wish, by holding the "Swap Gun" button.
- There will be a short delay before you can fire the second gun.
- Double Shot
- Both barrels will be fired at the same time.
- There is a short delay before you can fire again if you switch to single fire after shooting both guns.
- Single Fire (Default)

New HUD for dual-barrel vehicles
- There will be two reload bars representing each gun so you can see the current reloading/loaded status of each.
- At the bottom of each reload bar is a little arrow indicator to show which gun is the current active gun. If in double shot mode, both will have a yellow arrow.
- Both modes have an icon displayed to the left of the ammunition display to show which mode is currently selected.
- Reload bar status
- Black: Gun is empty
- White: Gun is loaded
- Blue: Gun is currently reloading
- Red: Delay before you can shoot again
Gameplay Tips
Reinforce the frontline. By combining the perks of its classic Soviet sloped front and thick frontal turret armor with its dual-barrel firepower, you’ll become a short-range damage expert who can quickly dispatch targets with a single squeeze of the trigger. Think of it as a giant shotgun on tracks with the attitude to match.
- Hide the lower hull and keep the front always pointed toward the enemy.
- Play according to your opponent’s proximity and switch between firing modes as needed.
- Be patient, soak up the damage, and hold the line while your allies flank the enemy team.

Use this medium to assist and save the day. Adapt to how the battle unfolds, and try flanking your enemy if you see an opening. Your mobility will definitely play a part in a successful pincer move.
