Commanders!
With the additional “Queen of the Night” Battle Pass Chapter comes the chance to earn a brand-new Tier VIII tank destroyer. The VIII ShPTK-TVP 100 is the first Czechoslovakian TD in the game, and it's exactly what you expect from a lightly armored support vehicle.
Let’s take a closer look at this newcomer and see why it is definitely worth completing the Chapter before it ends on May 23 at 06:20 CEST (UTC+2)!
Firepower
As the name suggests, the new tank destroyer with a fully rotating turret is equipped with a 100 mm BS-3 cannon. While 250 HP alpha damage seems relatively modest, this TD makes up for it with 2,778 DPM and excellent penetration values across all available shell types. You'll be able to chip away at well-armored targets and cause damage in confrontations with vehicles of all tiers—as long as you create favorable situations. The accurate, sharp-shooting gun has an outstanding 1.3-second aiming time and can reload in 5.4 seconds. Just choose the right positions, consider the slow shell velocity of your ammunition, and play carefully from behind your allies.
Survivability
The best way to see the end of a match is to not get hit by the enemy team. It seems simple, but it's vital to keep that in mind when heading into battle aboard the ShPTK-TVP 100. A lack of armor plus a low HP pool equals a quick end when taking fire. It’s better to play the long game, sneak around, and use your mobility to control wider areas of the battlefield. The concealment values aren’t exceptional, but they're good enough to take advantage of bushes. Make sure to roll back after a shot—and don't get greedy.
Mobility
The ShPTK-TVP 100 is another tank destroyer that trades armor for mobility. Its 55 km/h top speed and superb power-to-weight ratio are perfect for reaching any desired position. Just hang back behind your allies, use the 370 meters of view range to follow the battle's progress, and promptly seize an opportunity when it presents itself.
It's not an easy vehicle to master, but once you know how to tame the high DPM, slow shell velocity, lack of armor, and quick aiming time, you'll be rewarded with a powerful second-line supporter.
