NEW: Hit Hard With the Object 477A “Molot”

Rendered Image of the Object 477A "Molot"

When the tool you have on hand is a hammer,
you start to see everything as a nail.

- The Law of the Instrument

Not every tool is made to handle every job. Not every tank is built to fill every position in battle. But just as some tools are specialized for certain tasks, some vehicles particularly excel at the role they’re designed to play, and the brand-new Object 477A “Molot” Détente Era Eastern Alliance Tank Destroyer plays its role very, very well.

Your enemies are about to get flattened. Learn more about the latest Cold War devastator, which was inspired by a project developed by the Ukraine-based KMDB!

Gameplay Tips

The real-life code name for this vehicle, molot, translates as “hammer.” It’s an appropriate name. With its 152mm cannon (boasting 760 alpha damage!) at your disposal, you’re well prepared to drive every enemy you encounter into the ground.

To keep yourself protected, make use of the extreme angles and multiple layers of armor in this vehicle’s design, and face your opponents head-on as often as possible. If any pesky light tanks try to approach you, switch to your secondary 30mm autocannon and let it rip to show them that, as another famous hammer once said, you can’t touch this.

Aim for the heavy tanks! Your main gun has amazing penetration values in addition to high alpha damage and is made to punch through the thickest enemy armor.
Your frontal armor is your strongest armor. Position yourself accordingly. (Do note that your gun/turret housing will not take health point damage but can be broken.)
Your secondary autocannon is most effective against lightly armored tanks. Use it to take out any scouts trying to sneak by.
