[Client Values; Actual values in

▲

Specifically, the mismatch in crew values caused by commander's 10% crew skill bonus. Outside of a crew of 1 commander only, 100% crew is a fiction. The client values, given for 100% crew, will normally be taken into battle with 110% crew skill members aside from specific functions, causing their actual performance to deviate from the expected client value. These differences are taken into account in tooltip boxes.

Concept 1B

IX

17500

The Concept 1B is an American tier 9 premium heavy tank.

From the late 1960s to the early 1970s, under the program for developing a new main battle tank, various designs were considered. One of them was a variant known as Concept 1B with a low turret and manual loading of a 110 mm rifled gun with high ballistics. No metal prototype was produced.

The Concept 1B is another oddity from the US Army's arsenal (other than the AE Phase I); the most distinctive feature of the Concept 1B is the sleek and narrow turret design, which was designed to reduce its frontal surface area and protect its gunner who sat behind the gun breech. In World of Tanks this unique turret design served as a double-edged sword; the narrow turret design makes this tank almost immune to all shots when using hulldown positions, but the narrow turret also causes the weak turret side to be exposed when you're aiming at another target.

The Concept 1B is one of the reward tanks from 2020 Rank Battle season.

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Great shell velocity, decent accuracy and aim time, good penetration
• Strong turret armor, very durable in hulldown positions
• Great gun depression
• Very quick turret and hull traverse speed
• Great mobility for a heavy tank, fast and responsive

Cons:

• Hull armor is quite weak outside of hulldown positions
• Unusual gun caliber of 110mm, limits overmatching capability
• Priority target for SPGs, will take heavy damage from direct hits
