Description
The Object 279 is a gift rank VI Soviet heavy tank
with a battle rating of 9.0 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced during Update 1.97 "Viking Fury" as a reward for the "Space Race" event.
General info
Survivability and armour
Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat? If necessary use a visual template to indicate the most secure and weak zones of the armour.
Mobility
Write about the mobility of the ground vehicle. Estimate the specific power and manoeuvrability, as well as the maximum speed forwards and backwards.

| Realistic | 56 | 18 | 884 | 1,000 | 14.64 | 16.56 | |
Armaments
Main armament
Give the reader information about the characteristics of the main gun. Assess its effectiveness in a battle based on the reloading speed, ballistics and the power of shells. Do not forget about the flexibility of the fire, that is how quickly the cannon can be aimed at the target, open fire on it and aim at another enemy. Add a link to the main article on the gun: {{main|Name of the weapon}}. Describe in general terms the ammunition available for the main gun. Give advice on how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage.

Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Great 130 mm gun, same as the one on the IS-7. Able to one-shot whatever it encounters
- Main gun has a two-plane stabilizer
- Great mobility
- Rangefinder and NVD
Cons:
- Inadequate turret traverse speed
- Inadequate depression angle, a feature shared by all Soviet tanks
- Very vulnerable to high calibre HE; pylons connecting tank to tracks make for very appealing targets for such shells
History
The Object 279 Kotin was conceived in 1959. It was supposed to be a breakthrough tank that was also able to withstand a nuclear blast. The development of the design started at the Kirov Plant in Leningrad, the head designer was L. Troyanov. The project was started in 1957 under the requirements of 1956. The pre-production Object 279 was completed at the end of 1959.
Although 3 vehicles were built in total, the project was later abandoned in favor of lighter vehicles which ended the Soviet heavy tank programs.
