Tier XI Medium Lineup: Object 432U Joins the Fight

[Echo]

Commanders!

The Soviet Tech Tree brings a fearsome new contender to Tier XI: the Object 432U. This compact Assault Medium Tank is the first of its kind—a bruiser that can trade blows with heavies while still bringing the mobility of a medium.

The Object 432U introduces the new Overcharge mechanic, letting commanders choose between steady damage or devastating alpha strikes. It's a medium that hits like no other.

Object 432U: Crown of Assault Mediums

Compact yet unyielding, the Object 432U is built to smash through defenses and trade blows like a heavyweight.

• Tank class: Medium (Assault)

• Tech Tree branch: Soviet Medium line, following the Object 430U

• Distinctive traits: excellent armor, compact silhouette, and a brutal close-combat gun

This machine thrives on aggressive play. Push the front line, brawl at close range, and watch enemies crumble under the 432U's relentless pressure.
