Commanders!
Some tanks had such impact they went down in history as icons, yet others could only dream of stardom from the workshop, never making it to battle. Although the VIII ASTRON Rex 105 mm concept never saw action, it has a great presence on the battlefield and plenty of offensive potential, just like the legendary VII IS-2 shielded and VI Loza's M4-A2 Sherman .

An accomplished hunter needs a wide range of skills and tricks to catch their prey. The VIII ASTRON Rex 105 mm has plenty, but perhaps none more imposing than its 105 mm gun and 5-round magazine. Each shot carries 320 / 320 / 420 HP of damage, with 190 / 250 / 53 mm of penetration. With four seconds between shots, the complete magazine can deal 1,600 HP of damage in 16 seconds, with a total DPM of 1,920.
The 52 km/h top speed and great 60 deg/s traverse speed are ideal for flanking, acquiring new targets, and responding to threats in a pinch. Thanks to a low profile and –10 degrees of gun depression, it can exploit the terrain well, and the 390 m view range opens up even greater opportunities.

The VII IS-2 shielded is a classic with a unique look, featuring a solid turret and an impressive 390 damage per shot. It has received additional spaced armor for better protection against HE and HEAT shells, while it has improved armor angling over the standard IS and IS-2 models.
You've probably noticed the additional armor on the IS-2 shielded. But have you ever wondered what it's for? This is what's known as "spaced armor." Essentially, it's extra armor protection that reduces the impact of incoming projectiles, while saving on weight and cost.
So, where did it come from, how effective is it, and where is it used? To learn more, we've investigated spaced armor in more detail. Read more!

Dmitriy Loza was a highly decorated tank commander in the Red Army. He was appointed captain of the 1st Tank Battalion of the 46th Guards Tank Brigade of the 9th Guards Mechanized Corps, and he fought with his battalion of VI Loza's M4-A2 Sherman tanks in numerous battles, including the battles for Budapest, Vienna, and Prague. He was known as a strategic commander with a feel for the battlefield and even received the title of Hero of the Soviet Union for his successes.
Take on the role of brave commander with this fast-firing Soviet and its great 2,090 DPM. Employ the excellent –10 degrees of gun depression for hull-down tactics, and use Dmitriy Loza himself to lead your team to triumph.
Make your mark on history with the agile ASTRON Rex 105 mm, the classic IS-2 shielded, and Loza's M4-A2 Sherman, a storied icon, before they leave the Premium Shop on November 17 at 06:00 CET (UTC+1).
