In Armored Warfare, the Object 787 Gadyuka will be a Tier 6 Premium Tank Destroyer.

Like we mentioned above, it’ll be possible to assemble the Gadyuka from blueprints available for Battle Path mission completion (also a returning feature) as well as from the Battle Path Shop.

The Gadyuka concept is rather simple. It’s a close range brawler – essentially a T-72AV with autocannons and rockets instead of the main gun and one Tier higher. Logically, while the protection stays the same (the Gadyuka doesn’t have an APS, just smoke grenade launchers), the balance will shift towards firepower.

There are two main weapon systems that can be switched between – the two 30mm 2A72 autocannons (which are generic Tier 6-7 30mm guns balance-wise) and two 6-tube 80mm rocket launchers, the very same launchers the MT-LB S8 uses, just without the fancy cylindrical container. Each side of the turret will have one gun-rocket mount with excellent depression and elevation (-8/+60 degrees).

You’ll be able to switch rapidly between firing either both guns or both rocket launchers but beware – both weapon systems will be fairly inaccurate given the fact they are lined to fire in parallel. The mobility will be similar to the T-72AV (which isn’t bad for an MBT or a tracked TD) and the viewrange and camouflage values will basically be MBT-like as well.

By now, it should be clear what the intended playstyle for this vehicle will be one. It’ll be a brutal close-range fighting machine with a lot of short-range burst but poor long-range performance. As such, it’ll be best used in urban areas where an enemy vehicle may appear right in front of you, in which case he’ll get to enjoy a rocket burst followed by the withering fire of two 30mm autocannons. In other words, an Armored Warfare equivalent of a shotgun blast.
