Wheeled vehicles were used in all serious military conflicts of the 20th century. Along with tanks, these machines performed many different functions. They were used during reconnaissance and anti-tank operations, as well as for the transportation of personnel.
The day has finally come when the wheeled vehicles will arrive in World of Tanks Modern Armor . First to enter the battlefield:
Although these vehicles are classified as light tanks for game purposes, their mechanics are quite different. For some, a new mode of movement is provided.
And now we will help you prepare for battle on new and fresh wheels. All information below! nine0005
On wheeled vehicles, wheels with tires are installed instead of tracks. This means that they cannot turn in place like normal tanks. They need enough space to turn.
This also means that the wheeled vehicles will continue to turn and move according to the laws of physics, for example, when going down a hill or after a fatal shot from an enemy.
Also, on some machines it will be possible to switch between normal and high-speed modes.
This is the basic mode for wheeled vehicles, which is enabled by default after the start of the battle.
In normal mode, the vehicle moves slower, but in return, maneuverability and shooting accuracy are higher. This mode is suitable for attacking opponents.
This is what happens when you turn on normal mode:
When this mode is enabled, the following icon will appear:
In this mode, vehicles move faster, but maneuverability and accuracy are reduced. Use this mode to move around the area faster. nine0005
Important! Not all wheelers can switch to high-speed mode. Some can only move normally, but still pretty fast!
Here's what happens when you turn on the speed mode:
When this mode is enabled, the following icon will appear:
If the gamepad is set to default, press the left button on the D-pad. The process is similar to switching between marching and siege modes.
Check your controller settings to see which buttons are responsible for changing the mode.
As with the other vehicles introduced in World of Tanks Modern Armor , we've adjusted the base stats to fit wheeled vehicles into the game's ecosystem. We've retained their key features: wheelers are super-fast, light vehicles that can't turn on the spot, but are capable of tight turns.
At the same time, we took into account that the skills of the commander, equipment (up to 4 units), equipment, and so on can be applied to them. nine0005
In general, wheelies can make sharp turns at low speeds, just like their real prototypes. If you try to turn around at high speed, you will either take a larger radius or fly into a skid.
Similar but not identical.
Super tests. Just at this moment, another Supertest takes place. And the third will take place in the near future. nine0005
Balancing will take place according to the usual rules, without additional restrictions.
Wheeled vehicles move quickly and imperceptibly, while accurately hitting the enemy.
It was created for constant movement. If you like to play as an active scout, then you will immediately appreciate all the features of these machines. nine0005
Unlike light tanks, wheeled vehicles have a smaller sight radius. Thus, these vehicles are unlikely to be passive scouts. To effectively highlight enemies, you have to constantly move.
It is not difficult to guess that the main tactic suitable for wheelers is the alternation of advance and retreat. During the attack, it is worth keeping a close distance in order to hit the enemy. Don't try to attack from a distance. This is not the strongest side of wheeled vehicles. nine0005
Wheelers have a very different playstyle than light tanks. They move faster, the mechanics of turns and controls are different.
If you want to come to the place, stop, rotate and highlight the enemy, then you should choose a light tank on tracks.
If you want to quickly attack, attack and retreat, then give preference to wheeled vehicles. nine0005
If you've tried wheeled vehicles and decided light tanks are better for you, keep using them. But if the new cars seem attractive to you, feel free to ride them to your heart's content!
Traction control on wheels not available. Everything else is at your disposal!
Chuji, our lead game designer, comments:
“Personally, the standard characteristics of speed and mobility of wheeled vehicles are enough for me. I prefer to upgrade vehicles in terms of intelligence (vision range, radio, stealth) and accuracy in order to make quick raids on the enemy. Also, I always take a Repair Kit with me, because high-explosive shells easily damage the wheels. The loss of the ability to move is tantamount to death.
”
Each wheel has its own strength ratings. Destroying a wheel affects the speed and mobility of the vehicle. The more wheels are broken, the more the speed decreases.
If all wheels are destroyed, the vehicle will still be able to move, but speed and mobility will be minimal. A broken wheel is repaired automatically, but it takes time. However, with the help of the Standard Repair Kit, it can be repaired instantly.
Having lost all the wheels, the cars will only be able to squeeze 15% of the maximum speed and lose 90% of the power, i.e., acceleration will hardly be felt.
Possibly. The wheels are repaired in turn, and the tracks on the tracks.
The more wheels, the more time to repair, but one wheel is repaired faster than one truck.
More equipment! Need reload, speed, agility buffs to get you off your feet? Grab your gear and go!
Yes! We very much hope so. But first they need to be developed and properly balanced.
No plans yet. nine0005
Absolutely! Although development and balancing is yet to come, we look forward to seeing them in this mode.
We really hope that you are already burning with impatience and desire to ride on wheeled vehicles!
Follow the news. On Monday we will publish an article about Panhard EBR 75 mle 1954 , Tier VIII light tank (France), and soon we will tell you about a new vehicle branch.

FIGHT!
As a rule, all manufacturers do not offer wheels separately, but complete with brackets - the so-called wheel supports. According to their functional purpose, they can be divided into 3 main groups: hardware (used on shopping carts, medical equipment, for service industries), transport (working platforms, carts and waste containers) and heavy-duty (used where it is required to transport especially heavy loads ). The wheels of the hardware and transport series are in the greatest demand.
nine0005
According to experts, the high demand for them is connected, first of all, with their wide application in numerous small-sized mobile devices. These include household and specialized equipment, platform trolleys for moving small loads, special storage racks. They are also used for scaffolding, assembly towers, hydraulic equipment and stackers with a carrying capacity of up to 2.5 tons.
Wheels are made of various materials - polyurethane, polyamide, aluminum, sheet steel, ) is usually made from various qualities of rubber (standard, semi-elastic, molded elastic, as well as extratan or molded polyamide). nine0005
The brackets are either swivel or fixed. Which one to use depends on the working conditions. If light loads are carried on the trolley, but the corridors and the distances between the racks are narrow, all 4 wheels of the trolley should be swivel: it will be easier to maneuver. Two swivel wheels at the handle and two fixed wheels on the opposite side are suitable for working with heavy loads in open spaces.
The swivel arms can be fitted with a brake system to prevent the wheel from rotating (to prevent the trolley from accidentally "driving away" by itself) or turning. In addition, some swivel arms have a directional lock. It secures the yoke of the swivel arm in the direction of travel, which helps when moving the cart over long distances in a straight line. nine0005
The ease of rotation of the wheel depends on the bearings: the better they are, the more efficiently the work will be done. Distinguish between plain bearings, roller or ball bearings. The former are the simplest and most economical type, but rotate harder than the others. Roller ones are a little better, and ball ones are the easiest.
For example, to move a load of 150 kg on wheels with plain bearings, you need to apply a force of about 50% more than to move a load on wheels with ball bearings. nine0005
When choosing a wheel or castor, the user must take into account several important parameters that affect the "workability" of the wheel and its service life.
The larger the diameter, the greater the load on the wheel.
The material of which the wheel is made is also of great importance. For example, a wheel made of steel with a diameter of 200 mm can withstand 180-230 kg, cast iron of the same size - 500 kg, and polyamide - 900 kg. All load values taken into account by the manufacturer are calculated for standard parameters: maximum speed - 4 km/h, temperature - +20°C. nine0005
The diameter of the wheel affects the ease of movement of the equipment: the larger it is, the lower the rolling resistance, which means that the cart is easier to move.
Crossing high thresholds or dropping heavy loads on the trolley creates an additional load on the wheels, which must also be taken into account. If such situations are expected to occur frequently, it is better to choose wheels with a rubber coating (it is more elastic), with a large diameter and a load capacity slightly larger than required by production requirements.
nine0005
Perfectly flat, smooth floors are a rarity. As a rule, in working rooms the floors are concrete, with potholes and cracks, with many thresholds. Such operating conditions require the use of wheels with a strong rim, the presence of a roller or ball bearing, a sufficiently soft surface contact layer, and a reinforced swivel bracket. The traditional option is to use wheels with metal rims and solid rubber tyres; semi-elastic and elastic rubber tires are also suitable. nine0005
For outdoor use, on the open ground, choose pneumatic tires: they have a softer ride, wider wheels and ribbed tires. Taking into account possible cuts, punctures, mechanical damage, frequent impacts, you should choose wheels with a durable wear-resistant surface contact layer made of superelastic rubber or polyurethane. If metal shavings or glass fragments often get in the way of the trolley, the contact layer is selected from massive rubber or polyurethane, which are difficult to pierce.
nine0005
In warehouses for pharmaceutical and food products, as well as in hotels, supermarkets and restaurants, tires made of soft gray rubber that do not leave marks on the floor are an important consideration when choosing wheels.
Special requirements may apply to wheels in rooms where they come into contact with chemically aggressive media (mineral oils, acids and alkalis, organic solvents). In such cases, preference should be given to polyamide wheels with a polyurethane surface tread. nine0005
In damp rooms, the weak link may be the metal wheel rim or brackets. Various methods are used to protect against corrosion: varnishing, zinc and chrome coating of steel parts, manufacturing of stainless steel brackets. For example, polyamide wheels with a polyurethane tread and a stainless steel bracket are recommended for long-term use in fish processing and salting shops.
- The choice of a wheel also depends on how fast and how intensively the equipment is supposed to be operated, - says Igor Makarenko, head of the department of CJSC "AOR".
- If the equipment is to be used occasionally, the focus should be on the maximum wheel load as well as the operating environment. When equipment needs to be moved frequently, the most significant factor is the rolling resistance of the wheels. But in order to choose the best option, it is desirable to take into account all the parameters. nine0005
Companies offering rollers from various manufacturers give a guarantee on them from 6 months to 1 year, if all operating conditions are observed. But often the wheels last much longer without breakdowns - both 2 and 3 years. True, swivel wheels are less stable than fixed ones: their bearings fail after about 2 years.
The main manufacturers present on the Russian market today are German, Italian and Chinese companies. There are also Finnish, Turkish and Bulgarian wheels, but they are less common. nine0005
- There are no domestic companies producing wheels on the market, - says Roman Solovyov, deputy director of the company.
- This area is not developed at all in our country - with the exception of those enterprises that produce wheels as products accompanying the main directions. They have an extremely small range and too high a price, which makes Russian wheels uncompetitive in the market.
Chinese products differ from European products primarily in price: it is twice as low. But the service life is much less. However, experts note that the quality of the eastern wheels is gradually approaching the western one. nine0005
The most expensive wheels are made in Germany and Italy. Each of the manufacturing companies has several thousand names and varieties of wheels. The price depends on the load capacity, diameter and material of which the wheel is made: it can cost from 1 to 4000 euros. The most popular models (swivel, with rubber tires, diameter 200 mm, from Germany) cost 15 euros, from Italy - 12 euros. products of leading companies, in addition to price, are of the highest quality, and therefore, durability.
