[2022] Squadron vehicles: Object 122TM

A lil somethin somethin: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page here.

Experimental Chinese tank wielding a 120mm smooth-bore gun and four ATGMs comes to the game as a new squadron vehicle!

With the release of the next major update, squadron activity points will be automatically distributed to the player selected squadron vehicles when they are allocated (like regular Research Points), and you will no longer have to do this manually on every occasion.

Object 122MT, medium tank, China, rank VI. Squadron vehicle.
Features:

• Smooth-bore 120mm main gun
  
• Four ATGM launchers on the turret
  
• Good mobility

The experimental Chinese medium tank Object 122MT is a new squadron vehicle for all War Thunder players. This is a classic layout tank with a cast domed turret and a Chinese-made 120-mm cannon. The vehicle features four launchers for anti-tank guided missiles, which may be used in battles not only against armored vehicles, but also against enemy helicopters. The gun itself has a fairly good flatness and is equipped with a stabilizer and night vision device in the gunner's sight. At the commander's disposal there are two types of armor-piercing fin-stabilized rounds, as well as high-explosive and shape-charged rounds. The tank has a good maximum speed, but most importantly, a high power-to-weight ratio. Coupled with a good turret traverse speed, this makes it an excellent close quarter duelist!





The Object 122MT will become a rank VI tank in the Chinese armored vehicle tech tree. It can definitely be recommended for tank assaults and urban battles, however, guided missiles and APFSDS shells will be very useful at long range shootouts. The tank doesn’t have any anti-HEAT protection and is very vulnerable to ATGMs and enemy HEAT rounds, however, a domed cast turret can sometimes protect against some kinetic projectiles.





Any soldier or officer in War Thunder squadrons can get the excellent high-rank Object 122MT for squadron activity points; players who are not members of squadrons yet will be able to purchase the vehicle for Golden Eagles. The first Chinese squadron tank in the game will never let you down!
