The Pawlack Tank is an American tier 6 heavy tank.
In 1944, Leon Pawlack introduced a vehicle design that was built as a miniature with a cast hull. Its drive wheels were located at the front, and a 76 mm gun was mounted to a turret of original design. Its crew consisted of 4 members. The vehicle was supposed to be equipped with electric transmission and a diesel engine that could accelerate it up to 40 km/h. However, this data could not be verified as no prototypes were built.
The Pawlack Tank leads to the M-II-Y.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- High DPM with 2nd 76mm gun
- 240 alpha with top 90mm gun
- Good top speed (45kph) and best in class acceleration (17.83 hp/t), good traverses
- Small, rounded turret with odd angles, surprisingly bouncy if hull-down
- Common 4-man crew layout, easily trains to other tanks in this line and several premiums
Cons:
- Enormous hull with prominent nose weakspot
- Enlarged turret ring with obvious driver port weakspot
- Generally bad gun overall: poor gun handling, low DPM, terrible gun elevation/depression
- Low HP, light weight: vulnerable to ramming
- 90m M41P APCR is inferior to M3 APCR (205mm vs 243mm)
Performance
Though classed as a heavy, the Pawlack Tank is something more like an upgunned medium tank. Compared to other heavies of this tier, the defenses can be easily found lacking; the unusually tall turret ring is surprisingly flat at the front and easy for most same-tier guns to penetrate, and aside from the turret front, the rest of the armor is thin and unreliable. However, the Pawlack is surprisingly nimble for its size, and while it's no Easy 8 it will still move faster than many of the other heavy tanks lumbering around at this tier.
Keep the Pawlack out of sight and in flat ground as you approach enemies, though don't approach too closely; the very un-American 5 degrees of gun depression will cripple your hill-fighting ability, and your height will make it hard to hit shorter targets near to you. However, the ability to peek out and blast enemies for 240 damage can make up for a great many sins. If you can find sufficiently tall cover and can park behind it, leave only your turret peeking out for relatively safe defense options.
The Pawlack's low DPM and terrible hull armor makes sidescraping and corner fighting into non-options. Instead, circle around and hit enemies at close range while they're busy with your allies. In some instances, it might be more viable to keep the second 76mm gun and play like an overweight Easy 8.
