Object 279 = It's the E-100, but better damage and lower deployment cost for 10 seconds of juggernaut.
KV-8 = It's the Churchill Crocodile, but worse? Nice art, but not much to recommend it.
ASU-57 = Hallelujah, it's raining Hetzers!

Is it just me, or are armor emblems kinda pointless? I mean, if you have anything less than a heavy tank they make the difference between a tank dying in one hit and... a tank dying in one hit. If you have a heavy with the highest base armor of 170 and 5,000 hp...

170 armor = 39.5% damage reduction, 8,265 ehp
...and add 100 armor in emblems...
270 armor = 50.9% damage reduction, 10,183 ehp

...then it can take ten hits instead of eight? Seems like stacking evasion and attack modifiers is always going to give you more effect.
