Special Offer: D-I-Y with the M-IV-Y!

Unveiled in Holiday Ops 2022 Large Boxes, the M-IV-Y is available for the first time in the Premium Shop for one week! A formidable battlefield presence and valuable contributor to any team, the American machine also features a unique track mechanic. Read on for more about what makes this tank unique!

The Premium Yoh

A Premium representative of the Yoh branch in the U.S.A. Tech Tree, the M-IV-Y is a classic front-line brawler with a well-armored turret and a comfortable, high-penetrating 105 mm gun with 360 HP of alpha damage. It also features short aiming time, low gun dispersion, and high accuracy.

Its hull resembles that of the T110E5, but its turret it oscillating, cylindrical, and features a protective "skirt" that's not a screen. The turret’s armor is up to 279 mm thick in the frontal projection and 241 mm on the sides, so enemies will have a hard time trying to penetrate it. The weak point is the commander’s cupola, which is rather large, but not easy to hit from a distance.

The M-IV-Y's gun has great elevation and depression angles (–10/20 degrees), allowing it to take advantage of terrain irregularities on any map. Its short aim time lts you roll out into a firing position, fire a shot, and quickly pop back into cover. While the enemy is aiming at your commander's cupola, you will already be back in position. Even if the opponent shoots, your tough turret can block most of the shots.

The M-IV-Y is moderately maneuverable but has good top forward (45 km/h) and backward (18 km/h) speeds for a heavy. The armor penetration value of the M-IV-Y's standard AP shell is 220 mm; the penetration of the special APCR shell is 250 mm.

Unique Track Mechanic

Like other high-tier vehicles of the Yoh branch, the Premium M-IV-Y features a unique mechanic: A pair of smaller reserve tracks in addition to the main ones. If one—or even both—of the main set of tracks is broken, the vehicle won't stop and can continue to move, but at a reduced speed. If you lose another track, the speed is reduced further. But the tank can still turn or move forward or backward. To immobilize the M-IV-Y, you need to destroy at least one reserve track in addition to the main one.

Repairing tracks also has its nuances. The reserve track is repaired first. As soon as this is done, the repair of the main track begins. The vehicle can move at this point, but a penalty is added to the repair time. If the tank remains stationary, there is no penalty. A Repair Kit will repair all tracks at once.
