Meet the Object 140!

One of the interesting vehicles of the transition period from medium to main battle tank, the Object 140 is coming in the next major update as a new premium tank available for pre-order from today. It’s kind of a hybrid of characteristics between the T-54 and T-10M series tanks, so let’s take a look!

Despite the fact that the Object 140 was developed as a new medium tank in the USSR, its external appearance can easily be traced back to the T-44, T-54 and T-55 series of tanks. What may catch your eye is the tank’s new long gun with a developed muzzle brake. This 100 mm gun has a two-plane stabilizer and is 35 cm longer than the gun found on the T-54, which means it has slightly more muzzle velocity, having a positive effect on its kinetic penetrating abilities. In terms of ammunition, the Object 140 can fire high-explosive, APCBC, HEAT, and APDS rounds.

The Object 140 has one important advantage that’s useful for taking out aircraft, and that’s thanks to its 14.5 mm large-caliber KPVT anti-aircraft machine gun on the roof of the turret. This gun is ideal to fight off helicopters and aircraft in Ground Battles and is also quite effective against lightly armored ground targets!

As for mobility and armor, the Object 140 is moderately fast, has good maneuverability (except its reverse speed, typical to Soviet tanks), good angled armor plates and a cast rounded turret that will ricochet more than a dozen armor-piercing shells. Having said this, the Object 140 has no protection against heat-based shells or guided missiles, meaning it’s very vulnerable to these types of weapons. Nevertheless, this tank can be called truly universal in any combat situation as it can start a battle at long distance as a sniper, and then help storm capture points, covering teammates in the first line of attack.

That’s it for now! The Object 140 will be one of the best Soviet medium tanks in the game and will be an excellent addition to vehicle lineups for helping to research ranks I to VII. You’ll be able to pre-order from today and use this new tank in the next major update once released. See you around!

Please note that this vehicle’s characteristics may be changed before it is added to the game.
