|FR=Rusviet|emb=Emblem RusvietRU}}'''SHM-79 «Nagan» (ШМ-79 «Наган»)''' — medium anti-mech produced by [[Rusviet|Rusviet]]. Specializes in destroying armored vehicles, combining high survivability with volley weaponry.
== Historical Aspect ==
«Nagan» was created as a response to [[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 enemy with numbers and survivability.
The name «Nagan» refers to the Nagant revolver adopted by the Russian Empire in 1895. In the game universe, this emphasizes Rusviet's connection to imperial heritage. The mech's design is inspired by early World War I tanks like the French CA-1 «Schneider»<ref>CA-1 «Schneider» // [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schneider_CA1 Wikipedia.org]</ref> and British Mark I,<ref> British Mark I // [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_heavy_tanks_of_the_First_World_War#Mark_I Wikipedia.org]</ref>, but with dieselpunk elements such as exposed chassis mechanisms.
== Design ==
Key Features:
* Frontal armor thickness — 120 mm (equivalent to heavy tank Mark V);
* Volley firing system with automatic reloading (up to 12 shots per minute);
* Track-walking propulsion for overcoming trenches and obstacles.
=== 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 ==
* 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 easy only to «Gulay«[[Mechs/SHM-Gorod» 70 Gulay-Gorod|Gulay-Gorod]]» due to the latter's versatility.
