Wargaming has released a new update for World of Tanks which is now available for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One versions of the game. The update, simply dubbed 1.7.1, adds double-barreled heavies to the roster.
The double-barreled newcomers are all Soviet, sitting at Tiers VIII, IX, and X in an all-new branch stemming from the KV-3 at Tier VII. They are capable of firing their twin guns consecutively or in thundering salvos; which requires some preparation time.
First up is the IS-2-II. Those tankers who found an Object 703 II in their New Year Boxes should feel right at home with the IS-2-II as they handle similarly. However, the new, researchable Tier VIII gunslinger will forsake some of its one-time damage for a faster reload time.
Upon reaching Tier IX, players will be introduced to the IS-3-II which is capable of dealing 390 points of damage in a single shot.
And finally, at Tier X they will be able to use the ST-II. Similar the already existing ST-I already, it’s as well-armored and utilizes the same 122-mm gun that’s able to inflict 440 points of damage with a standard round. The difference is, the ST-II brings two of these guns to a fight.
Here’s what Max Chuvalov, World of Tanks Publishing Director at Wargaming, had to say:
“The concept of double-barreled tanks haunted many a tank engineer. But due to various reasons no such project has ever been brought to life. Yet in our game you can ride these monsters into battle looking just as they would have come to be.”
