Regressor

The in-game icon for the Regressor

The **Regressor** is a tier IX Hybrid Nation heavy tank. It is based on the 50TP Tyszkiewicza. It was the last tank available in Season 1: Retrotopia. Unlike the Magnate and the Fixer, the Regressor could not be obtained without spending money.

## Strategy

Note: The following only applies to the fully upgraded vehicle unless if said otherwise.

### Pros

* Good mobility
* Decent hitpool
* Above average alpha at 450
* High premium APCR penetration

### Cons

* Thin rear turret armor, most HE shells can go through
* Less armor compared to other heavy tanks
* Requires a total of 12 modules to fully max out

### Strategy

#### As the Regressor

As you have great mobility, you can go on either the medium or heavy flank. You don't have as much armor to bounce shots when compared to other heavy tanks, so you must play cautiously. On the medium flank you can frontline and hull-down while out-trading shells almost every tank that you fight. You can use your reverse speed to back up quickly. On the heavy flank, wiggle your turret to get the enemy's tanks to end up hitting your gun mantlet. As you move quickly for a heavy tank, you can spot tanks up to a degree and put yourself into a good position. Remember, don't be over-aggressive and use your mobility.

#### Against the Regressor

As the Regressor doesn't have the greatest armor, you can be confident that your shells can frontally penetrate this tank. The only factor that saves this tank from being a medium is its armor. You can try to bait the Regressor into pushing forward right into sight of your TDs to take out a massive chunk of HP from the Regressor. As the Regressor is based on the Polish heavy tanks, they are notorious for having not so strong ammoracks, so you can try to ammorack it when you have the chance.

## History

The Regressor created itself from a powerful AI with the help of robots, and if you read the engine name, it's known as "SourceCode v0.x" where x is 1, 2, 3, or 4. The Regressor is also mentioned as "something nightmarish" that stalks the ruined workshops in Robert Kitt's beloved city, however it's only a rumor to him. The Regressor also canonically sees the Outcast, a similar vehicle that represents the Regressor. It's unknown what happened next.

Unfortunately this is all of the history that is canonically available. Outside of this, it is up to player speculation as to what the Regressor had done in between the years during Progresston's first signs of failing that took place during Operation Shadow of Tomorrow to the events of Operation Desolation.

## Trivia

* The Regressor's name root, regress, means to turn back into a more primitive state. This is shown though the ruin of Progresston as the Operations showed that the state of the city had become slowly worse and worse
