Its large durability allows the Nagant to aggressively attack other machine destroyers and heavy mechs, surpassing them in both rate of fire and resilience. However, at long ranges, it may experience inaccuracy. The Nagant is capable of single-handedly destroying even a “Tur,” with minimal chances of missing, even from a distance. Consequently, the Nagant is considered the strongest anti-mech in the game, especially when veteran levels are attained.

SHM-79 «Nagan» (ШМ-79 «Наган») — medium anti-mech produced by Rusviet. Specializes in destroying armored vehicles, combining high survivability with volley weaponry.

Historical Aspect

«Nagan» was created as a response to Saxon heavy mechs like «Wotan». Its role in the game lore is a symbol of 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»[1] and British Mark I,[2] but with dieselpunk elements such as exposed chassis mechanisms.

Design

The mech's body is designed in the style of early battleships: a low-profile shape with reinforced frontal armor and a steel plow at the bottom. Four gun barrels mounted on a rotating platform provide all-around fire, but changing the attack direction requires turning the entire body. The power plant is hidden under armor plates, and exhaust pipes are located on the sides, reminiscent of early 20th-century automotive 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.

Combat Usage

High durability allows «Nagan» to aggressively attack enemy armored vehicles, but it is helpless against mass infantry or aircraft. The mech dominates in close and medium combat against 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 «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, easy 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.
