Have you checked out the Auction yet? It is your chance to get new and exclusive high-tier vehicles. A new lot becomes available daily from February 15 to February 19, allowing you to outbid the competition for exceptional offers.
The parameters displayed are valid for the vehicle with each crew member trained to 100% major qualification level. Some vehicle characteristics can be further improved with the Commander’s bonus to major qualification level, crew perks, and skills, as well as special in-game items.
The second vehicle under the hammer is the K-2, a Soviet heavy tank. The K-2 can become the best buddy for a newbie who’s still learning the game or a tanker who previously thought they weren’t really into heavies. It’s quite forgiving of rookie mistakes due to its outstanding frontal protection. While 250 mm on the turret and 160 mm on the upper glacis plate aren’t phenomenal nominally, the shape of the armor makes it very hard to penetrate. Therefore, a direct attack is always an option—provided your flanks are covered, of course.
Let’s dive in and take a closer look at this Soviet bruiser.
Firepower
Armed with a 122 mm cannon, the K-2 is geared for close-quarter combat. Accuracy (0.42 m), 390 alpha damage, and 6 degrees gun depression are on par with other same-tier Soviet heavies that thrive on exchanging blows. Landing shots on the move and from long range aren’t as successful and can pose a challenge, however.
Survivability
Thanks to a sturdy shell, the K-2 can go the distance. Very good armor combined with a deep 1,650 HP pool help it take the hits. It also excels at angling: Most of the angled upper hull plate is 160 mm; the lower plate has 135 mm, but its angle gives an effective 210 mm. The upper side of the hull is protected by 30 mm of spaced armor that’s ideal for keeping HEAT shells from penetrating. Beneath the spaced armor is 160 mm of well-angled armor.
The rounded and well-armored turret will bounce plenty of incoming fire. It has notable vulnerabilities: The roof has patches of 30 and 45 mm armor and the cupola is an easy penetration point.
Mobility
With the K-2’s slow 30 km/h top speed, it’s best to plan ahead in battle. Its average 13.07 hp/t power to weight ratio puts it in the same class as the VIII
Object 252U and
VIII
Object 703 Version II — just beware of the sluggish 21 deg/s traverse speed and not-so-great ground resistance attributes especially on soft ground.
