XM57

• Mode: World War II
• Nation: U.S.A.
• Tier: VIII
• Class: Tank Destroyer

Based on a 1950s proposal for a partially rotating gun mounted on a vehicle’s turret, the XM57 is a tank destroyer that’s built to keep enemies in sight. It features a semi-traversable turret along with mobility that’s balanced against its armor to keep you in the hunt.

But what makes the XM57 especially appealing is its massive gun. This is a weapon capable of 630 alpha damage, with penetration values that allow it to shred even Tier X armor. You want fireworks? You’ve got ‘em when you command the XM57.

SFAC 105

• Mode: World War II
• Nation: France
• Tier: VIII
• Class: Tank Destroyer

The SFAC 105 was among the innovative vehicle French vehicle designs that were inspired by German blueprints post-World War II. Like the XM57, this tank destroyer has a semi-traversable turret, making it excellent for menacing your opponents.

But the SFAC 105 is in a class all its own; in fact, it’s our first French dual-barrel vehicle! Use its impressive penetration stats and reliable rate of fire to punch holes in your enemies’ armor—it’s as simple as un, deux, no trois even needed.

XM800T

• Mode: Cold War
• Affiliation: Western Alliance
• Era: Escalation (Era 2)
• Class: Light Tank

The XM800T was developed in the 1970s as a reconnaissance vehicle to replace the M114, but that doesn’t mean it was built without any capacity for offense or defense. Like the real-life design, our version of the XM800T sports a 20mm autocannon that’s an absolute terror in battle. This fast-firing weapon is capable of dealing 1,875 damage in just four and a half seconds!

And it’s not just the gun that’s fast. The vehicle itself has a top forward speed of 88.2 km/h. Lock on to your target, use your speed to close the gap, unleash your gun’s fury, and retreat while you reload.

Sentinelle

• Mode: Cold War
• Affiliation: Western Alliance
• Era: Escalation (Era 2)
• Class: Medium Tank

Its turret and gun were Italian; its optics and communication equipment were French. Designed with the Char Lourd AP 58 as its base, the Sentinelle was intended to be a pure European powerhouse, an intent that’s reflected in our in-game design.

This mobile medium tank uses a two-shot autoloader to deliver 920 damage in just two seconds, making the most of each shot. With its amazing gun handling stats, you’ll be primed to devastate your opponents even while you’re on the go!

Please note: the Sentinelle does not have a Skin available.
