 [h2]Meet the Vickers Mk.11![/h2] The next dev blog season has begun! Coming to War Thunder in the next major update, the Vickers Mk.11 will help to bolster Britains ground research tree at rank VI! Highly agile and packing an impressive punch, the Mk.11 will be sure to provide you with an impressive choice for flanking and scouting. Lets dive into the details of what this vehicle has to offer!   Right off the bat, you may have already noticed something oddly familiar about the Mk.11. Its size? Yes, its an absolute unit, but what we mean is its turret! This vehicle inherits its entire turret from the VFM5 light tank which you may already be familiar with, as its already in the game. This means that it sports a very-capable 105 mm LRF cannon, featuring excellent ballistic properties and a great rate of fire! [h3] Interesting: The Vickers Mk.11 is big. And we really mean big. To put it into perspective, its height is almost the size of two 6ft people standing on top of each other! So large that it could carry 4 crew and 7 additional crew members. In the game, it will have 4 regular crew members.[/h3] Unlike the VFM5, the Mk.11 features a wheeled 6x6 chassis, offering you good mobility. This vehicle can reach speeds of up to 105 km/h on paved surfaces, all while retaining good off-road characteristics apart from in the most difficult terrain types such as deep snow or mud.   The fact that the Mk.11 is based on a modified APC chassis means that it wont really offer you much protection in your matches. Featuring only lightweight armor, this vehicle will be able to withstand light machine guns and autocannons at a distance. However, dedicated anti-tank weapons will most certainly make short work of its thinly armored hull. Therefore, a smarter tactic would be to make use of its excellent mobility to stay out of sight from any enemies that you may encounter, all while picking off enemies from flank positions!  [h3] In your matches: Pro-tips when using the Vickers Mk.11 by Tom (Oxy), WT Community Manager (TL): As the vehicle is so massive and very lightly armored, its important to keep its size in mind while considering your positioning, common defensive spots wont work too well for it as its just so tall. The best strategy will be to focus on its speed, aiming to push aggressively to a good position early on. Fighting like an MBT head-on wont be too reliable for it if you can plan your initial route well and get to the side of your enemies, it doesnt matter how little armor you have (at least for a while!).[/h3]  This wheeled behemoth, the Vickers Mk.11, will soon be available at rank VI in the British ground forces research tree when the next major update is released! Make sure that youre keeping an eye on our website for other exciting dev blogs that well be revealing. Until then, enjoy your matches! |
