Update 1.27.1 introduces a line of four British twin-barreled heavy tanks, featuring an innovative mechanic that combines firepower, versatility, and style. These formidable tanks boast strong frontal armor, decent mobility, and tactical flexibility, enabling you to switch between firing modes at any time. By letting you deliver precise long-range shots or unleash a powerful double attack in close combat, these tanks provide a versatile new approach to the battlefield.

Selective Fire Modes Mechanic
The new British heavies feature two firing modes: Single Fire and Salvo Fire. You can switch between modes anytime by pressing X. Switching does not pause or reset your reloads and can even be done on the move.
- Single Fire Mode. The guns fire alternately (starting with the left one). This mode offers excellent stabilization, accuracy, and aiming time, ideal for mid-to-long range combat.
- Salvo Fire Mode. Both guns fire simultaneously for a powerful double shot. While this delivers huge burst damage, it comes at the cost of lower mobility, turret traverse speed, and accuracy, and a longer aiming time. The reload time in Salvo Fire mode is double that of Single Fire mode.
