Hello everyone,
you know how the Insider confirmed that the event in September will be a Chaffee race? Well, damn, he was right again :) In 9.3 test patch, new tank “Chaffee Sport” was implemented.
The vehicle seems to have no real armor model, but it seems the race will involve shooting, as the gun is properly modelled, so what I think will happen is that the vehicle will not have any armor model per se, just a “hitbox” and a healthpool and evey hit will take off 50 hitpoints from the tank. Here are its characteristics:
Tier: 1
Crew: 5
Hitpoints: 1000
Track hitpoints: 250 (it will require cca 5 rounds to destroy tracks)
Speed: 90/40
Hull traverse: 60 deg/s
Engine: 1000hp
Weight: 9,68 tons
Power-to-weight: 103 hp/t (it means instant acceleration pretty much)
Terrain resistance: 0,35/0,35/0,35
Viewrange: 400
Radiorange: 750
Gun: 75mm M17 Sport
PEN: 25/50
DAM: 50/50
Reload: 3,3 secs
Aimtime: 1,7 secs
Accuracy: 0,33
Depression: -10/+15
Gold shells are sold for 1 gold, they travel much faster.
One question which is kinda off-topic, but related to Chaffee.
On test server, Chaffee has really cool engine sound. Is there any option to make that sound avaliable to the other tanks aswell?
Indeed, i really like it.
Did someone even mention this change? I want more of these sound, it just makes playing these tanks alot more fun.
My guess is that I’ll need to rework that res folder a little hehehe
Yeah great idea, can’t get enough of that grunt in the engine
same goes for the Hellkitten too they add an engine sound there too
But i think, according to “Hunting for type62″ prolonged to Oct 8, its not for a “September” event
Holy moly. This looks so awesome.
But its still slower than average car :D
>100+ HP/T
You always wondered where scotty got that extra power from.
Well, now you know.
Gold shells are sold for 1 gold, they travel much faster.So you mean ONLY for gold or,if it’s only for gold forget it lel

NASCAR with tanks
gon b gud
From my experience, a lower turn rate would make it way more difficult to control and lead to more hilarious situations.
For example the FV304 is great for a race like this
T2 LT is better for it, btw there is always option to slow down and shift one gear down before u turn. I wonder if you will be able to do burnout :D
They want us to spill gold on a fun event? All right..
This be a LT crew trainer? As in, it’s a premium?
Thought not. Could be good to build a new crew though.
My 4Skill Amie crew is waitin :D they are tired of Locust and T2LT
