A visually modified M1 Abrams MBT to represent a Soviet tank in exercises, with premium status and pre-order bonuses!
One of the scenarios of the US Army exercises is called the Krasnovian invasion, a scenario of the invasion of the fictional Russia-backed country of Krasnovia into the southern part of the continental United States. The armed forces of the People's Democratic Republic of Krasnovia are equipped with armored vehicles manufactured by the USSR/Russia, and to imitate these vehicles, the so-called “vismods” are used, friendly vehicles that have been visually modified to represent opposing force vehicles. One of the most popular and well-known vismod designs is the M1 Abrams KVT (Krasnovian Variant Tank). It is this tank that will appear in the upcoming War Thunder major update, so let's take a closer look at this piece of awesomeness!
So, the Krasnovian tank is an American Abrams M1 main battle tank with visual modifiers, such as a camo net on the gun barrel, an imitation of an IR searchlight, an imitation of a dozer blade in front of the hull, two barrels welded to the rear, an imitation of the ERA blocks on the hull and turret, dismantled side skirts, as well as confusing inscription "ЛОДКА" (‘boat’ in Russian) on the tower baskets.
Under the guise of a Soviet tank is the excellent M1 Abrams MBT, one of the best tanks in its rank. Great front protection of the turret, good front protection of the hull, high mobility, a thermal imaging device in the gunner’s sight, as well as an excellent stabilized gun with all popular types of rounds, including two variants of APFSDS. The KVT version also has a Premium status, which means it can greatly boost the research of any tank and armored vehicle in the US research tree from ranks I to VII! It is worth noting also that unchecking the modification box in the menu removes visual modifiers, returning the familiar look of the menacing Abrams M1.
The tank itself will be added to the game in the next major update. However, for connoisseurs of war machines our team has prepared a special pre-order pack, containing the M1 Abrams KVT tank, Golden Eagles, Premium account days, the unique title and a special decal “Krasnovian Tank Division” - a great addition to the exotic look of the Krasnovian invader. Hurry up, comrade Krasnovian, the offer is limited until the release of the next major War Thunder update!

Comments will be premoderatedWill the barrels mounted on the rear of the tank hinder the tanks aiming? I remember the old ZTZ-99A that was on the Danger Zone dev server suffered from the same thing before the barrels were removed on the live server. Looks like it will be significantly worse on this vehicle, if implemented. Otherwise, very interesting addition!
It does say that you'll be able to remove the visual modifications, however unfortunately that seems to mean all of them, I think they should make it to only remove the barrels as a "Combat" or "Parade" modification as Russian tanks do utilize tanks like that in parade uniform

A friend sent me a screenshot of this and I figured it was one of those joke then saw the date
I'm going to guess br will be 10.0 or 10.3 but with the pin of the dart round at those brs it will be a bit meh but finally something to take the place of the xm-1
what the hell is this? its too late for an april 1st joke, what is this "soviet" abrams from krasnovia?
Check our article or search in google :)
Wonderful addition to the game!
I love it, what an unexpected double surprise! A tank I never expected to see ingame, and DOV BLEG SEASON BEGUN!
I forgot to mention, I think it’s a brilliant idea to bring in these Premium vehicles with two customization options; the more unique one, and the more vanilla one. The more customisation options, the better, always!
No.
Even tho im against US getting more and more stuff but this is the kinda thing we should see ass Premiums / Event / Battlepass vehicles, cuz its Unique. I 100% support this being a Non-Tech tree vehicle cuz this is what its supposed to be
Dunno about fictional vehicles could have added the Leopard2A4 with ERA atleast thats realistic.
This is not a fictional vehicle.
