It deals 65 damage to light mechsSpecializes in destroying armored vehicles, 45 damage to medium and heavy mechscombining high survivability with volley weaponry.
== Unique Properties Historical Aspect ==The Nagant’s unique feature is its projectile dispersion, which compensates for its immense combat power through rapid fire. The dispersion is maximum against infantry, with just 2-3 hits being sufficient «Nagan» was created as a response to eliminate an opponent. Against larger targets like [[Mechs/Saxon Mechs|Saxon heavy mechs]] like «[[Mechs/SKS 156 Wotan|Wotan]]». Its role in the game lore is a symbol of [[Rusviet|Rusviet's]] industrial power, capable of "grinding down" the dispersion is minimalenemy with numbers and survivability.
== Veteran Levels Design ==At The mech's body is designed in the first veteran level, it gains style of early battleships: a low-profile shape with reinforced frontal armor and a steel plow at the ability to bottom. Four gun barrels mounted on a rotating platform provide all-around fire all four barrels simultaneously, which can be decisive in a walker battlebut changing the attack direction requires turning the entire body. From The power plant is hidden under armor plates, and exhaust pipes are located on the second veteran levelsides, damage to armor increases to 85 against light mechs and 58 against medium and heavy mechsreminiscent of early 20th-century automotive design.
== Combat Usage ==High durability allows «Nagan» to aggressively attack enemy [[Mechs |armored vehicles]], but it is helpless against mass [[infantry]] or [[Aircrafts|aircraft]]. The mech dominates in close and medium combat against [[Mechs|light and medium mechs]]. Its rapid-fire guns deal 65 damage to light armor and 45 to heavy armor, compensating for low accuracy with fire density. «Nagan» can single-handedly destroy even «[[Mechs/PZM-24 Tur|Tur]]», rarely missing it even from a distance. At ranges over 200 meters, effectiveness decreases due to shell dispersion. Thus, «Nagan» can be considered one of the most powerful anti-mechs in the game, especially with veteran upgrades. === Veteran Upgrades ===* «Volley» (unlocked at 1st veteran level): simultaneous salvo from all barrels, increasing damage by 30% for 8 seconds;* «Reinforced Armor» (2nd veteran level): frontal protection increase by 15%, critical in duels with heavy mechs.* At the 2nd veteran level, armor damage increases to 85 against light mechs and 58 against medium and heavy mechs. === Disadvantages ===Drawbacks include low mobility (2.5 m/s), vulnerability to artillery, and inability to quickly turn during flank attacks. To compensate, infantry or mobile mechs like «Serp» are recommended for cover. == Change History ==Since the game's release in 2020, «Nagan» has been repeatedly adjusted:* In the 2022 patch, turning speed increased by 20% to counter flank attacks;* In 2023, production cost reduced from 400 to 360 units of iron, increasing its popularity in the mid-game.Criticism concerns its narrow specialization. Nevertheless, in the community ranking for 2024, it ranked 2nd among Rusviet medium mechs, уступая only to «Gulay-Gorod» due to the latter's versatility. == Interesting Fact ==* The «Nagan» design was created with the participation of Polish artist Jakub Różalski, who was inspired by Soviet posters from the 1920s. This explains the combination of futuristic elements with the brutal "made in the USSR" style. == Rusviet Mechs ==
