Coming to Supertest: Windhund and Vz. 62 Jasan
Commanders!
Two new vehicles are entering the Supertest today: the Windhund, a Tier VIII German tank destroyer, and the Vz. 62 Jasan, a Tier IX Czechoslovakian medium tank.
The Windhund (“greyhound”) is a turretless sniper tank destroyer with a hydropneumatic suspension which gives the vehicle 10° of maximum gun depression plus improved gun accuracy and aiming time in Siege mode. Due to its wedge-shaped hull (with a 50 mm sloped frontal armor plate), the Windhund looks much like Swedish TDs. Yet it is more mobile in Siege mode, where the top forward and reverse speeds are both 15 km/h. In Travel mode, these speeds are 50 km/h and 30 km/h, respectively.
The Windhund carries a precise 105 mm gun with average single-shot damage of 320 HP but excellent shell penetration and speed: 265 mm and 1,200 m/s for the standard AP round and 305 mm and 1,450 m/s for the special APCR round. Even the HE shells fly at 1,200 m/s. The base reload time is 7.9 s, giving the Windhund nice DPM potential.
The Vz. 62 Jasan is a Tier IX Czechoslovakian medium tank. Like the Škoda T 50, this tank is equipped with a 100 mm gun featuring a magazine loading system. The main difference from the researchable vehicle is the magazine configuration: four shells dealing 300 HP of damage each, with a faster in-clip reload of just 1.5 seconds. Its full reload time is 26 seconds.
The Jasan boasts good mobility (top speed: 55 km/h, reverse speed: 20 km/h) and comfortable gun handling but has low survivability due to thin armor plates. It performs well as a mobile flanker, quickly changing positions and supporting allies with its powerful damage-dealing autoloader.
