On the snow-covered Nordic continent, there have been twists and turns of Nordic mythology, and the well-known story of "Ragnarok" is here. In this post-apocalyptic battle of the gods, there is a god of war named "Tyr" who is extremely brave, and the 3D style that we will introduce today is inspired by the famous god of war, Tyr.
In this year's World of Tanks Christmas Box, the D-series Tier 10 gun GWE's exclusive 3D style "Tyr" is worth talking about. Tyr is the son of Odin in Norse mythology and is self-sacrificing. When the gods tried to lock up the wolf Fenrir, he offered to use his right hand as a guarantee, and although the wolf eventually bit off his arm, he became the representative of the pact and oath.
First of all, from the point of view of appearance, this ** can be said to be the auspicious suit of the tank industry. Covered in rags and camouflage nets, it looks like it's at one with the environment, and it's extremely low-key.
To explain it in official terms, this is tank livery camouflage. Camouflage is generally used on the battlefield to reduce recognition features, and when used on tanks, it is beneficial to effectively conceal itself in grass, shrubs and other terrain. This 3D style "Tyre" has strips of cloth in yellow and black colors hanging on the body and gun.
Taking the name of the god of war Tyr, it also symbolizes that this GWE gun has a strong front-line support ability, although there is no high single shot damage and no high accuracy, but the all-round performance balance is enough to make it continue to output, providing a steady stream of support on the battlefield, which can be called the hexagonal warrior of the artillery world.
The most noteworthy is that the GWE carries a 75 mm caliber LG 40 recoilless gun. Originally developed for paratroopers, this gun was also very popular among infantry soldiers because it was light and portable. Just as the god of war Tyre fought bravely with a sharp blade in his hand, the GWE wearing this ** also looked extraordinarily heroic, like a killer lurking in the dark night.
After the end of the ignorance of the mythological age, people still obeyed the words of the ancient gods in the age of agricultural civilization. In ancient times, the Norsemen would swear by their swords, and before the start of war, they would engrave the "Rune of Tyr" on the hilt of their swords to pray for victory to the god. This GWE-exclusive 3D style "Tyr" is also a symbol of victory and oath, and the commanders who own it will be as brave as the god of war on the battlefield!
From December 1, 2023 to January 8, 2024, World of Tanks Holiday Campaign 2024 will continue to be available, and players who want to get their hands on the new 3D style will be able to open up large supply crates and have a chance to get them.
