"Bull"
Hello fellow commanders, I'm Anabel and Cardo. Recently, the WG tank group has released some new tanks, and it is still in accordance with the old rules to show you the judgment. Today, let's take a look at this Italian level 9 gold coin heavy tank "Bull", this guy's data and design are still quite peculiar.

Small talk time
The overall design and FV215b are a bit close
This "bull" was originally called Toro, which is indeed the meaning of bull. The description written for it by the WG tank group is as follows:
- "In the 50s of the 20th century, American tanks were still in service with the Italian armed forces. But at this time Italy was still developing its own heavy tank. According to the plan, the heavy tank will be equipped with a more powerful gun developed on the basis of the naval guns of the Italian Navy. However, by the time the project was ready, the "heavy tank" was no longer in fashion, and it was not beneficial to continue the development of a new heavy tank. As a result, the development of the car was forced to be suspended. ”
The car has a rear-mounted turret design, and the shape of the hull and turret is somewhat similar to that of the FV215b in the game. I couldn't find any specific historical information about the car, but it may have been designed by the WG tank group based on a few words, like the Rhino/Bison.
Level 9 Heavy Tank, this firepower data?
As a level 9 heavy tank, the bull uses a 105 cannon, which is inherently "inferior" (generally the caliber of the main gun of the level 9 heavy tank has risen to about 120). The single shot of 360 is not like the level of level 9, and then its silver coin bullet is a 248 APCR, which is also a dwarf. We are also familiar with the compensation mechanism of the Italian heavy tank, the preloading drum, in fact, the mechanism is a good mechanism, that is, the WG tank group always adds various numerical suppressions in order to limit the play. Its reload time is also slow, and it takes 54 seconds to empty and reload... It takes more than ten seconds to hit a single shot, which falls into the embarrassment of "always loading".
The turret hatch is definitely a weak point, and the hull should not work either
The accuracy of its main gun is really good, but the triple expansion coefficient is not out, and it is difficult to say whether it is good or bad. It is not known whether the 8-degree gun depression is full fire, or only the sides have a full 8-degree. The survival of the bull is not too good-looking, as a level 9 heavy tank, its HP is only 1700, which is too low, even lower than some level 9 medium tanks. The armored model of the tank has not yet been released, but the values on paper are not very high. The front of the turret may have some defensive power, but the commander's conning tower hatch on top of the turret is definitely a weak point, and the front and sides of the hull should be unreliable. The mobility of the tank is okay, and it is relatively good in the heavy tank. The rest of the attributes are bland.
Normal··· 9 gold?
Judging from the current data, the bull's combat power may not be too prominent, and it is in a "normal" position in the level 9 gold coin rook. But maybe, more information will have to be waited. Please note that all of my comments above are based on the current WG test data plan on June 27, 2024, and may change in the future. I will continue to monitor and bring you new trends. I'm Anabel and Cardo, always looking out for the vital interests of our players. If you like my car reviews, please also share the publicity so that more commanders can go home.
