A Soviet premium BA-11 armoured vehicle on the chassis from a cross-country truck will be a prize for participants in the new “World War” season.
Armoured cars were one of the most popular world trends in the development of armoured vehicles in the pre-war period. The Soviet heavy armoured vehicle BA-11 was one of the typical examples of this type of vehicle. It was created on the basis of a shortened chassis from the military ZIS-6 - a three-axle off-road truck designed on a scheme of 6x4 (rear wheel drive). The new chassis designed by engineers of the Moscow Automobile Plant was supposed to provide the armoured car greater payload and a better cross-country ability which allows improvements in the armour and a better off-road performance in the vehicle.
Compared to the armoured vehicles of the B-6 and B-10 series which had been designed on the basis of the GAZ-AAA truck, the armour of the BA-11 has been increased by 1.5-2 times and in some places, the BA-11 was slightly better armoured than the T-26 and BT-7 tanks. With the increased weight up to 8 tons, the vehicle maintained good driving characteristics: a speed of up to 64 km/h on the highway and 26 km/h over terrain. As well as in the BA-10 the designers also provided overall tracks which were able to help the armoured car to overcome particularly difficult areas. The gun and the turret of the vehicle also receives a 45 mm 20-K cannon from the BA-10 in the turret.
The heavy BA-11 armoured vehicle was produced in limited edition in 1939 and participated in battles at the early stages of WWII. In 1942 it was withdrawn from service.

This looks like it could be a lot of fun to use.
So BA-10 confirmed for next patch? :P
Let's hope so
Hope BT42 will be in this game
Yes please!!
Hope BT42 will NOT be an event vehicle))) But in all likelihood, it will come as yet another Swedish premium, just to spite us.
Pumba70, Be happy if it doesn't come as event vehicle you unthankfull ****!
Should have been on the soviet tech tree or at least a event that isn't the wwm very disappointed its not get ready for it to be 100+ dollars on the market.
Ba-11 senpai shall be mine!
I do hope they will add a some BA vehicles/trucks into the TT or as a prem in the future. There are so many that could be added to the game. I especially want the BA-64AT. Armed with the PTRS-41 14.5 mm (0.57 in) antitank rifle :)
Ah yes ofcourse it's for WWM......... Why not put in in the tech tree, make it GE, make it a premium pack or even put it in a event which is so hard that it's almost impossible to get?! I want this thing so badly but nope it's behind WWM which is pretty damn hard!
Edit* This better be on the marketplace then if I can't get it
Hey, you! Do you want a BT-5 on WHEELS? It's an absolutely marvelous vehicle! Enjoy such luxuries as: Being shit at going up hills without a run-up; Moving at the speed of a fucking snail in water; Being killed by .50-calls; Being as tall as a fucking barn AND having a Russian turret with no gun depression on top of that barn; Having the ability to sell this piece of shit for an absolutely retarded amount of gayjoob coins. Remember, the WW gamemode was in development for YEARS and is not shitty.
The Ba-11 is better than you think Mr. Whoeveryouare. It is hard to kill it with .50 cal and can even withstand small caliber of cannon rounds (depending on the angle)
