The Almighty T-22 Medium



The T-22 medium is, without exaggeration, a near perfect tank. It is dynamic and maneuverable like the Leopard. Fast-firing like the T-62A. Accurate even while driving at full speed like the Patton. Exceptional at deflecting enemy shells with its cleverly designed armor like the IS-7. Its turret is as resilient as the T95's front. Get one of the rarest and most effective tanks in the game!

Containers that may include the Collector T-22 medium or other rewards will be available in the in-game Store through August 31. Come and open them!


The Uncatchable Legendary Camouflage




The Uncatchable Legendary camouflage is effective on all map types. It doesn't require replenishment and changes the tank name in battle to T-22 Uncatchable.

A Tank That Influences the Battle's Outcome


If you think we’re praising a medium tank too much, even though it’s a Tier X tank, trust us. It’s worth the praise. The T-22 medium is a tank that won’t back down where others might. No tank in the game can overcome all situations, but this one will come out on top more often than not, usually swaying the battle outcome in the process. With great power comes great responsibility... Think you can handle it?



The T-22 medium resembles a heavy tank from the IS-3/IS-8/IS-7 line, highlighting a "pike nose", solid turret, and deceptive sides that easily deflect enemy shells.

The frontal hull armor is just 100 mm thick, which is not enough for this tank to block the shots of most Tier X opponents. But thanks to its shape and steep slope, the vehicle's frontal armor will sometimes deflect stray shells, saving your hit points.



The sides of the hull are a different story. With the vertical side skirt and the sharp slope of the main hull underneath, this tank is as deceptive as Soviet heavies. Despite the weak 80 mm armor, penetrating the sides of the T-22 medium upon angling is near impossible.

The rounded turret with its 230 mm of frontal armor can repel shells fired from even the most powerful guns. So whenever possible, hide the hull behind cover and enjoy watching your enemy's squirm! But remember, it won't be easy to take advantage of the turret armor when playing on rough terrain as the gun’s depression angle is just 6 degrees.



Similar to the Object 140 and T-62A, the T-22 medium is armed with a 100 mm gun. It deals devastating damage per minute: 3,000 HP without bonuses and 3,500 HP with equipment and provisions applied. The gun reloads in 5.3 seconds, and its stabilization and accuracy allow the T-22 medium to strike a target even while driving at full speed.

This tank pays the price for such impressive firepower with low single-shot damage for a Tier X vehicle and mediocre standard shell penetration. 240 mm won't always be enough to penetrate heavily armored enemies at the front. Yet, the T-22 medium is a maneuverable and dynamic tank that can easily flank the enemy, and then the high rate of fire will do its part.



Thanks to its high specific power, this tank effortlessly reaches speeds of 40–50 km/h. Add equipment, provisions, and the Engine Power Boost, and you'll be able to climb any mountain and take any key position!

Skillfully maneuvering between obstacles and circling around enemy vehicles is a piece of cake in the T-22 medium. This tank barely loses speed when traversing. For example, while moving at 50 km/h, the T-22 medium will only slow down by 5 km/h on a 90-degree turn and just 10–12 km/h on a full turn!



The close-range combat efficiency is slightly dampened by the turret. Sometimes, its traverse speed isn't enough to aim at the enemy all the time. To enhance this and other characteristics, we recommend you use Improved Fuel and Extra Combat Rations in battle.

The Collector T-22 medium is well-suited for both aggressive maneuvering battles and flanking movements. If needed, this tank can effectively snipe at long distances. When driven by a skilled player, the T-22 medium will prove the enemy team’s undoing. Take command of this awesome tank!
