yolowagon
A term coined by the World Of Tanks community used to describe a tank with thick frontal armour, excellent top speed and a powerful engine.
Yolowagons are named so due to their ability to charge into enemy lines, or "yolo", while not risking their own life as much as another type of vehicle would in that same situation; their high speed and bouncy armour lets them rush enemies and deal damage while not always immediately dying.
Due to the armour they are usually also heavy and therefore good at ramming, further enhancing their abilities.
The original yolowagon was the Object 263, before it was outclassed severely by the Object 268 version 4. Other examples of yolowagons are the IS-7, Object 260, Object 277 and Foch 155 / Foch B.
While the term is most commonly seen in World Of Tanks, it can be applied to a vehicle performing a similar role in another game such as War Thunder.
Contrary to what is depicted in mediums such as YouTube videos, yoloing even in a yolowagon isn't nearly as successful a strategy as it seems; you are still likely to die without achieving much. An effective yolo with a yolowagon requires an enemy team that is distracted or simply poor at the game, and also a good amount of luck.
That being said, it is still a fun way to play in a dying game where no fun is allowed.

Our entire left flank was annihilated by a platoon of 3 yolowagons, it was the quickest 15-0 defeat I've ever suffered.
