Some time after your first battle in the EMIL 1951, you might get an offer for a Legendary camo that changes the tank's name in battle to EMIL 1951 Viking. The tank will be decorated with a pattern, round shields, a banner on a spear shaft, a battle horn, and poleaxes.

The EMIL 1951 is a heavy tank that effectively combines an autoloading system, a 10-degree depression angle, and a robust turret.



On level ground, during battle, the EMIL 1951 turret withstands hits from guns that penetrate up to 240 mm. If you put the 10-degree gun depression to use and place the tank on a hillside, the armor of your turret will also become impregnable for guns with 270 mm of penetration. It's critical to take advantage of your turret because the hull armor is quite vulnerable against most opponents.



The EMIL 1951 slays enemies with a gun that boasts an autoloading system and a 3-shell magazine. Thanks to its 230 mm of penetration, this tank can damage enemies with every shot it takes and deal an average of 930 HP of damage per magazine! APCR shells will come to the rescue when encountering a heavily armored foe as they can penetrate 270 mm and inflict 780 HP of damage per magazine.



Reloading takes 3 seconds, which means the EMIL 1951 fires all 3 shells in just 6 seconds. After that, the tank needs to retreat behind some cover and wait 22 seconds for the magazine to reload.



Even though it's a heavy tank, the EMIL 1951 has quite a low profile and weighs only 26 tons. It's even lighter than the T-54 ltwt.! The 350 h.p. engine, however, makes this tank march with the dignity of a huge, looming heavy. Its acceleration enables this heavy to achieve 20 km/h in 3 seconds and 30 km/h in about 8 seconds. Without equipment and provisions, the vehicle can reach its maximum speed of 40 km/h when going downhill only. Thanks to the high reverse speed, the EMIL 1951 is able to swiftly retreat to cover.
