The Tiger 131 is a German heavy tank. This vehicle is the only Pz.Kpfw. VI Tiger in full working order. The vehicle was captured by the British 48th Royal Tank Regiment in Tunisia on April 21, 1943, and repaired later. It was shipped to the United Kingdom the same year. The British performed a full examination of the tank, and made it an exhibit item at the Bovington Tank Museum in 1951.

The Inferno Chimera and Bellerophon Centurion were developed together with Greyweasel UK. A project for a heavy British tank and originally designed to counter the Soviet IS-3, the Inferno Chimera is fitted with extra frontal turret armor, a super hard-hitting Gun, and awesome looks that awake during Halloween Mode. These three strengths make this monster a force to be feared in battle.

Command the German Asterion Heavy Tank and make your opponents feel like there’s no way out. Like the Hoplites (the soldiers of Ancient Greece), the Asterion fights its battles head on, using its frontal spade as added protection.

Creep over cover and engage in deadly hull-down combat with the American Tier IX Arachnid Medium Tank. This arachnophobia-inducing vehicle also sports a solid 2-round autoloader with well-rounded stats for you to make short work of your targets.

Banshee Comet a further development of the Cromwell cruiser tank, this British tank saw service in World War II. A total of 1,186 vehicles were manufactured from September 1944 through late 1945.

The Super M48 was the name for an upgrade package for the M48A2GA2, which was itself a modification of the U.S.’s M48 Patton tanks, purchased by West Germany in the late 1970s. The Super M48 design retained the 105mm L7A3 rifled gun of the M48A2GA2 but added modular appliqué armor for the turret, a MOLF 48 fire control system, and other updates. Despite its enhancements, the Super M48 failed to gain interest. Only five prototype units were built.

Bone Shaker TS-5 in June 1954, six proposed projects of upgraded heavy tanks and tank destroyers were presented at the conference held in Detroit. One such project was the TS-5, intended as a tank destroyer which featured a closed stationary cabin. A dummy vehicle was built, but further development was discontinued.

The Canon d’assaut de 105 tank destroyer is a combat vehicle design developed by the AMX Company in 1958. According to archive records, this tank destroyer was supposed to combine high maneuverability and mobility, reliable armor (up to 100 mm in the frontal area), and a powerful 105 mm gun. Later, the development was discontinued and no prototypes were built.

During 1956 and 1957, the Military Armored Forces Academy developed a speculative design for a new loading system on the IS-3 and T-10 heavy tanks. The IS-3 variant featured a double-row ammo rack with an automatic loading system. The crew was reduced to three members: the commander, gunner, and driver. The turret was redesigned in order to accommodate the loading mechanism. The vehicle existed only in blueprints.

After work began on the FV4201 Chieftain in the early 1950s, efforts were made to make the armaments of the FV4201 Chieftain and the American T95 tanks (including their turrets) interchangeable. Eventually, however, the T95 project was cancelled due to technical limitations, and the compatibility studies were not pursued further.

The 60TP Lewandowskiego is a heavy tank. A project for a heavy tank developed in 1956 by Richard Lewandowski who was a cadet at the Military Technical Academy of Warsaw. The tank was supposed to weigh 60 tons and feature 200 mm armor. Development was discontinued at the drafting stage. The 60TP Lewandowskiego marks the end of its Polish heavy line.

The WZ-132-1 is a Chinese light tank. The Chinese experimental vehicle that united various Type 62 modernization projects. The name is conventional. No prototypes were built. The ideal "Light Medium" in World of Tanks, it has quite reasonable protection (one of the best among light tanks) thanks to its very tough turret and all-around spaced armor that effectively protects it from HEAT and HESH rounds. This tank is excelled in a fire supporting role, as well as taking some punishment with its turret armor before retreating.

A project of an airborne light tank developed by the Aircraft Armaments as a replacement for the M41. The design incorporated many innovations. Two prototypes were manufactured, which underwent trials at Aberdeen Proving Ground. In June 1958, the project was canceled.

The Char Futur 4 is a French medium tank. In 1977, in France, several designs were considered as part of the development of a new tank, including the Projet 4. No metal prototype was produced. However, its further development led to creation of the French main battle tank Leclerc.

The LT-432 is a Soviet light tank. In the early 1960s, Research Institute No. 100 developed several projects of vehicles based on the Object 432. In addition to the crew, an extra deployment of troops was also to be carried. Existed only in blueprints. The LT-432 is a Soviet light tank. It's a quite fast light with surprising amounts of armor, gun handling, gun depression, and shell velocity. Often referred to as a light-medium hybrid this tank gives up little of its "lightness" for its armor. Instead this tank ends up with a set of characteristics that seem to fit just about any situation it may encounter. It is hence a "jack of all trades".

The Škoda T 50 is a Czechoslovakian medium tank. A further development of the post-war concept for the Czechoslovakian general purpose tank. The project was developed by Škoda in 1947. In 1948, significant changes were introduced to the project. There were plans to mount a 100 mm gun. The project was discontinued after one full-size wooden prototype had been built.

The TR-125 (TR-125 stands for "Tanc Românesc 125" - Romanian Tank 125) prototype main battle tank is a redesigned T-72 made in Romania with Romanian components only. Number 125 in the designation stands for the 125 mm A555 smoothbore tank gun. Built at the end of the 1980s, the TR-125 was Romania’s version of the highly successful T-72 (which it designed by reverse-engineering the existing T-72s in its fleet). Compared to its Soviet predecessor, the TR-125 had thicker armor, a longer hull, and a heavier, more powerful V12 diesel engine. However, it used the same 125mm gun, which gave the TR-125 its name.

WZ 132-3 Chinese Light Tank a further development of the WZ-132 project. The main difference was supposed to lie in a shorter vehicle chassis. Engineers wanted to combine high mobility and firepower. A prototype passed trials in the late 1960s, but the project was discontinued. The vehicle never saw mass production and the prototype has not survived to the present day.

The Hummel is a German self-propelled gun. In the autumn of 1942 the Alkett company started the development of a new SPG with a 150-mm gun. To boost new vehicle production, it was planned to use the readily available components of Pz. III and Pz. IV vehicles. The SPG was made on the same chassis as the Nashorn heavy tank destroyer. A total of 714 vehicles and 150 ammunition carriers that used the same chassis were built.

Captured KV-1 by Germany, development of the tank began at the end of 1938. A prototype was produced in August 1939 and first saw action in December 1939 at the Mannerheim Line. The vehicle was mass-produced from March 1940 through August 1942, with a total of 2,769 manufactured.

The SU-152 is a Soviet tank destroyer. Development of a tank destroyer on the basis of the KV-1S heavy tank began on January 4, 1943. The vehicle received the designation KV-14 (Object 236). A prototype underwent field trials at the beginning of February 1943 and entered service on February 14, 1943. In April, the KV-14 was renamed SU-152. By December 1943, 670 vehicles were manufactured. Thanks to its ability to successfully combat german Tiger I and Panther tanks, the SU-152 was dubbed "Hunter" by the troops.

The Sherman VC Firefly is a British medium tank. The British Sherman VC Firefly (A Squadron of the 1st Northamptonshire Yeomanry) was named after the Soviet town of Velikiye Luki. On August 8, 1944, the British organized an ambush at the edge of the wood near Saint-Aignan-de-Cramesnil and Sento. Joe Ekins, the Sherman gunner, laid fire on moving Tigers and destroyed all three German vehicles within 12 minutes. As it turned out, one of the tanks under No. 007 was commanded by the most successful German tank ace, Michael Wittmann, also known as "The Black Baron". However, it still remains unclear who destroyed Wittmann's tank as several British vehicles were engaged in that battle.

The M48A2 Räumpanzer is a German medium tank. The predecessor of engineering vehicles, developed on the basis of the American M48 post-war medium tank. Equipped with the M8A1 dozer blade, these vehicles entered service in Bundeswehr engineering units and were used until the late 1990s in territorial forces, but with demounted guns. A total of 53 vehicles saw service in Bundeswehr.

The AMX M4 mle. 49 is a French heavy tank. A heavy tank that was originally known as Project 141. Since France needed modern heavy tanks, development started immediately after World War II. Existed only in blueprints. The AMX M4 mle. 49 is French tier 8 premium heavy tank. It notably differs from majority of French tanks for having impressive amount of frontal armor, but is notably less mobile than AMX 50-serie heavies or FCM 50T, while also lacking autoloader of formers. Like pretty much every French tank, M4 49 has very poor side armor, so its expectionally vulnerable to flanking.

Tiger Shark Spahpanzer German Tank Destroyer. The reconnaissance tank destroyer was being developed by Hotchkiss and Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz companies from 1956 through 1962 in order to increase the anti-tank capability of recon tank battalions. A 90-mm anti-tank gun was planned to be mounted on the new vehicle. The project was eventually declined. The number of prototypes built is unknown.
