Official category change
Season 1 moved Heavy Tank from Career level 35 to Driver level 35. This aligns the vehicle with the ground-driving route and supersedes older progression tables. Reaching the level still does not mean the tank is already unlocked or deployed; review any permanent payment and then the per-deployment price.
Turret rotation and tank-aiming behavior also received launch changes. A handling guide or sensitivity setting from an earlier test may therefore feel different now.
Before deployment
Assign the driver, main gunner and supporting seat before purchase. Agree on the route, target priority, repair plan and conditions for retreat. Infantry support improves awareness and helps keep close threats away from a vehicle with limited visibility.
Avoid blocking a road, FOB entrance or supply path. A heavy tank that cannot reverse, refuel or receive repairs becomes an expensive static target. The Control Zone guide helps decide whether the route supports the current scoring area.
Performance and support
The versioned record describes a three-seat vehicle with a main cannon, coaxial gun, top-mounted machine gun and smoke. Speed, fuel use, range and armor resistance remain version-sensitive, so test the current vehicle instead of relying on a fixed number of hits to destroy it.
Use visible fuel, damage and ammunition indicators in the current build. Coordinate with logistics and leave before a position becomes impossible to support.
Data version and related choices
The official Season 02 notes supersede earlier values only where a field is explicitly named. The table labels those replacements separately. The image, physical specifications and other unreconfirmed fields remain dated records reviewed on September 16, 2026.
Earlier source record: The Driver 35 change and tank-control fixes come from the official Season 1 changelog. Model name, deployment price and equipment are versioned gameplay records reviewed on September 16, 2026.
Compare the SPH-2 for indirect fire or use a cheaper transport from the vehicle roster when movement is the real task. Read building and logistics before relying on a forward repair position.
Read every value with its version.
Official changes use first-party announcements. Item fields without a current official table remain labeled as dated gameplay records until they can be checked in the public client.
