Holy shit a soviet premium, That’s pretty rare!
/sarcasm
and yet still no Premium American TD that is good for crew training…
Only crappy ones for USA TD line.
Looks like a new candidate for Ugliest Tank award.
Idk, that new soviet tier 7 light tank is also pretty ugly
Hell yeah, alpha damage creep is not bad enough yet. Also, we clearly do not have enought tier 8 premiums. After all the game doesn’t have any problems except the atrocious lack of new premiums.
Hardly alpha damage creep…. but I shall acknowledge the rest of your sarcasm
It has 50 alpha less than Skorpion. Alpha is about average for tier 8 TD. ISU and all the german TDs have more (except KannonenJag.) and SU-101 has the same with more speed.
I don’t care what kind of a tank it is. Battles soon will have average lenght of 2 minutes because everything will be three-shotting you.Having below 390 alpha at tier 8 now is horrendous, because in the world of corridors and bush kemping you can’t do shit when it comes to trading shots.
Actually this gun is WAY better on this than on the su101, the su has 0.7 seconds longer aim time AND no turret AND terrible gun depression. If this is the way its gonna be in-game than this will be way better than the 101, also considering after looking it up this has a faster ROF with the same gun…
@Mark Van Eldik: not the same gun as the SU-101. Pen and alpha may be the same, but this is a 130mm gun, it is in fact the SU-100Y gun (both pen and armour are unhistorically overbuffed).
@renarde_martel Okay it might technically not be the same gun, but considering it has the same alpha and penetration we might as well consider it the same. And that doesn’t change the fact that with these stats this tank is WAY better than the 101, which is arguably pretty shitty but still…
440 alpha so OP for tier 8 td lol.
I know complaining about everything is now so cool and edgy but at least read post you complain about pls
If it wasn’t for you thick skull then you’d maybe notice that I never stated that it’s OP.
and yet still no premium American LT that is good for crew training… (I see a pattern here) if its not German or Soviet, you get shit!
Yer, what ever happened to the T92?
could be new tier 7 normal scout (inbetween T37 and walker bulldog) or am I mistaken?
It’s possible but would make no sense sit it was designed to replace the M41 IRL
@Deadarashi: nothing new there. ELC AMX is a later project than the AMX 12/13 that it leads to, the new German tier 10 LT predates the RU251 and the Czech tier 7 is actually developed AFTER the tier 10.
However, my money is on T92 becoming the new Grand Finals premium.
Look you aren’t wrong, the UDES 03 is a later project after the STRV 103b and it’s 2 tiers lower with the real prototype, the S1, being a tier 8 premium.
Oh WG dont ever change
At least you get stuff, think about the british tier 8 premiums in the game, we got one, ONE.
While there is after soviet, possibly the biggest amount of blueprints and prototypes available with the british, but you know WG seems to really dislike the brits for some reason…
Can we get a tier 8 US TD instead? Or a tier 8 UK TD and HT? Seriously, way too many Soviet Premiums lately. Fair enough there’s no tier 8 Soviet TD (what ever happened to the KV4 KTTS?) but come on, we just had the Object 252
World of Premiums YAY
Hey, I remember this thing: http://ftr.wot-news.com/2014/03/02/brainstorming-tanks-103/
” This kind of firepower came at a cost. The vehicle was heavy, and could not handle a large amount of armour. It only reached 60 mm in the front and sides…”
Something is fishy here.
Classic WG buffing known historical armor for “reasons”
WG historians found an updated design with more armour, obviously. It also has a turbo engine and laser rangefinder, but they left those out for fairness.
Every time they drop a new vehicle in the game or shop, they have to do a second one of a Russian vehicle. Strv 51 followed by this. New German heavies paired with obj. 252u and so on.
it just proves that Wargaming are morons and really don’t listen to the players, unless your Russian and pay nothing towards the game, then you get to dictate to the rest of the rest of us.
Well there are far more Russian in this game than everyone else, so it makes sense for them to do a lot of soviet tanks. However I am not sure if Russians do actually buy as much of these vehicles as people in the West.
They pay for it in childish demands.
Ooohkay I’m Russian and I’ve got 76 premiums in my garage; my teenage daughter has 30. All my friends have got at least first dozens. I bet my boots you’re missing something about Russia and Russian players. BTW this euro-snobbery of yours looks sooo funny )))
Another reason for me to stay playing at their 5. The vehicles are honest and you don’t meet these new monstrosities.
Tou our sadly regrets, the biggest market for WG is Russia. And we all know russians love their sweets…
So basically a stallinium skorpion G or Borsig.
That’s not broken at all.
Because others have turreted tds they need to add one for the soviets, my bullshit alarm is going off.
this better not come out before the kv4ktts ive been waiting for years for that thing to come out >:(
Honestly, thinking about it you could give it the same gun stats as the SU-100Y and it would be a good tier 6 premium HT with a nice derpy gun
Oh goody, another premium Soviet TD.
Depending on the crew layout I may just purchase this..
Why over buff SU 100Y’s gun? Just give obj263’s 130 mm instead.
380m view range? On a t8 Soviet! td? Better than Borsig? Strange… Looks interesting… to play, not to look at. We’ll see.
Of course they now have a turreted Russian TD. Based on what blue prints or evidence did they get this from or is just another fart from their imagination.
I like that they increase the pen on all new tanks, so they can pen all the new buffed armor tanks frontally.
That is making the old tanks and armored tanks more useless, as if their low speed wasn’t bad enough, you get penned frontally from tanks 2 tiers below..
imagine sidescraping in this in the city maps where there is no bushes etc.
this better be dead slow, or else it will be OP.
too many good points for being turreted td
