T26E5 Patriot
Hello,
Looks like the NA servers for PC are getting something especially patriotic: T26E5 Patriot, in full star spangled glory…
Looks like they’re starting to take a few tips from the console team in terms of premium variants.

why not like the freedom om console that it has it strupes going to the back of the tank too
Eh, definitely not a fan, but at least it isn’t as insanely stupid-looking as the M4 49 Liberte. Plus, the tank itself looks very fun.
As much as I like the idea of being a premium with the free camo, I would rather have a naked tank and put my own camo on. Why is that every new tank has to have some random BS on the tank, the M46 KR, the Pz 58 Mutz, Skorp G, AMX M4 49 and now the T26E5. The camo doesn’t even relate to an American holiday or special event really, but at least America is getting another premium just hope it isn’t overpriced and has good results.
the m46kr was seen with that actual paint job while in service in korea
Tiger paintjobs were actually commonly used in the Korean war, after some genius figured out that the enemy might find tigers scary, I personally wish these were available for other tanks as skins.

What I find bizzare is a desert paintjob on the Skorpion G witch would be a late war design, as opposed to say an ambush pattern.
I agree with you
So even the PC version gets flooded with cancerous looking, parrot colored shit… Would look splendid on a gypsy fair. In WOT? No thanks.
You could always replace the texture files with the “standard” paint.
U know this is the first one on PC right?
I believe he was referring to the other “special” tanks which’ve appeared several times in the past year, i.e. the Korean Patton, Mutz, Blackdog, Skorpian G, etc., not to mention the incoming Liberte.

I am a real American! fight for the rights of everyman! I am a real American! Fight for what’s right for your life!!!
Matches the theme…
I feel squeeze … how wait its coming my patriot vomit……. murica blaaaaaaaaaaa..I feeling better now 😛
I see that pc is starting to ruin premium tanks like console
‘Murica! *Freedom intensifies*
I know that WoT is an arcade game, but I don’t like the way WG is going with this tank.
0/10: Lacks flags that the T26E4 “Freedom” had.
this seriously needs to stop.
All I care is… how does it compare to the Ripper Patton?
Think of it as a Jumbo Pershing. Similar to how the Jumbo Sherman is just a heavy version of the M4A3E8, the T26E5 is just a Pershing/Ripper Patton with less speed but vastly-improved armor. We’re talking essentially T32 levels of armor (152mm hull, 279mm+ turret), but reduced speed to compensate. Oh, and it has higher DPM than the KR, and gets 230mm-penetration APCR rounds as standard, so it doesn’t struggle to play like a heavy.
Eh… its got a higher HP/ton and top speed (fwd and rev) than the T32, currently, so it’ll wind up being slightly faster than the T32, if anything. A little less agile on hard terrain, but not enough to be appreciable. A little more agile on medium terrain, though again not enough to be appreciable. And the same agility on soft terrain (dont go valley on Lakeville, and it wont be an issue). Better listeed chassis traverse, and if my math is right better effective traverse as well. (28.5 vs 24.98).
Turret armor is nominally thinner than the T32, but has similar levels of effective armor. Anywhere from 280mm next to the gun, to 500mm at the upper/lower edges of the mantlet (when compared against 100mm APCR, which it will commonly see). The left/right sides of the mantlet, where it overlaps the turret front slightly range up to 700mm effective. Turret front itself is well sloped, and is anywhere from 235mm to 300+mm depending on where you aim. Effectively the turret is probably as good as the T32’s.
Hull armor is nominally thicker than the T32, but has slightly worse overall protection. Upper plate ranges from 194mm, up to 204mm on the main plate. The little bulge on the upper middle of the UFP is 214mm, and surprisingly, the machine gun is 204mm. LFP ranges anywhere from 185mm to 244mm, in certain small spots), which for the most part means its effectively worse than the T32’s LFP and is also a much larger target than the T32’s LFP. The T32 probably has a more effective hull, but not by much.
Gun stats are generally better than the T32, in regards to the most important stats: accuracy, turret traverse dispersion and vehicle movement dispersion. Obviously better DPM, pen, and shell velocity.
Overall the tank, if its stats remain as they are, will probably be slightly better than the T32 is most situations.
Yeah, I think it’ll play a bit better than the T32. However, I don’t think this means they should nerf the T26E5, as it isn’t OP (especially compared to the other VIII heavies); instead, they should buff the T32. It could definitely use a buff to its gun (mainly penetration, but also DPM & handling/accuracy) to make it more comfortable for the masses, as it’s been falling behind the other heavy tanks IMO.
Hmmm. I’ve been waiting for a good Premium form of the Pershing, which was probably the most all around fun and comfortable medium I’ve played. But I also love the Jumbo, so that’s probably fine to.
Well thats another tank needing a skin replacement…
where do they get these ideas from ?
… ah, of course …

why copy the not so great stuff? Because WG, I guess…
Freedom SPershing was a thing before this July, and if so it predates the AW premiums you linked.
nitpicker 😉
1/10 they forgot to add an American flag prop to the turret (no really, the Freedom has one on console)
Thats because they STILL lack Havok on PC 😛
I like the skin, I don’t like the idea of more tanks coming out with skins in this style.
people complain about tank skins… fucktards

Sorry Rita couldn’t resist. 😀
Anyway, seems like this will be a better Caernarvon or a gimped T32 with better pen.
Love that song to be honest. Was a huge hulkamaniac back in the day lol
Does it come with the “‘Merica Fuck Yeah!” sound when it fires?
Only when you get a frag. Otherwise it should be ‘On the way!’ from Fury.
Compared to the T26E4 “Freedom” this tank’s paint job is WAAAYYY more subdued.
STOP Making prem tank with special camo or at least give us the option to not have them it’s just horrible and almost intrest no one. Stop making it like blitz where some camo are just awful.
OMG plz no…
R.I.P. WG
Is there someone up high, truly intent to ruin this game? I can not believe this… Carnival tanks, pay 2 win tanks, so on… Reminds me Call of Duty…
It’s not just one person. It’s the collective Slavs in WG. WG has never experienced capitalism so they’ll take everything out of WoT before they die. Slavs are probably one of the most useless kinds of people. There’s a reason why no one cares about Belarus: they don’t contribute anything to the global economy. All WG people are good for are killing and replacing with more competent designers.
Feel like a big man behind your keyboard there, kiddo?
@DecoNoir Because it’s the truth? Ok, not all Slavic people are useless but Belarus is pretty useless. I mean when you’re a country that has been criticized for human rights and just recently implemented a law that does not allow people to change jobs and living areas without the permission of a governor, that just gives me an even worse impression. And when you have to continually rely on Russia for materials and resources, that’s pretty sad. Even after the capitalist reform of 1991-4, the economy is still slowing. Most of their industry is what, textile, tools, tractors, trucks, and fertilizers? We are the forefront of technological innovation and scientific prowess, namely aeronautics, chemicals, medicine, computers, pharmaceuticals, etc. Sure our politics are not in the best shape nor are we the happiest place on earth but we damn well know how to get things done. This is, sadly, one of the few times I feel proud to be an American.

It’s pretty sad, also, that a country has to rely on Russia for most of their energy and resources. And their exports? Mainly textiles, fertilizers, tractors, and trucks. We (the US) are the forefront of technological innovations and advancements. Aeronautics, computers, pharmaceuticals, medicine, chemicals, and plus so many more we do. Sure our politics may not be in the best shape nor may we be the happiest place on earth but we damn well know how to make things right. It’s sad that this is one of the few instances that I like to call myself an American.
PC WOT player pre this: why PC don’t have skins like console WG hate us.
PC WOT player now: OMG this is awful.. can’t we have a normal variant? I don’t like where this is going.
IKR! We play with arty and overpowered tanks and a patriotic camo is apperently the worst thing ever. go figure
Hey , I like it , what can I say
Just replace the camo with a mod, the tank looks promising.
Any ideas on when it will be available and the price?
Please give us the option to get rid of this paint job and set it to standard color please
Murica
This is the Donald Trump of WOT tanks. Slow, heavy, and obnoxious.
*face palm*
Are WG just trying to piss people off? These skins look retarded.
It would be far more patriotic if they found some an actual former US tank crew & included the tank they served in…
The game would also look less like a f**king circus!
I’ll never buy that tank or the stupid French tank out of principle.
i love it, the skins its very cool, just like HT amx m49…. ^^
WG is going to end up like Team Fortress 2, they just sell skins instead. Expensive skins, maybe add some gambling elements too, the moneys are going to come raining down.
The hats in Team Fortress 2 are equivalent to the premium tanks in world of tanks, every tank is a hat, some just cost more money than others. Nothing new here.
No not really, that was a foolish statement, you can actually use the tanks, the hats in TF2 are solely for looks and has no purpose whatsoever.
Looks like a clown car, turned in to a tank
then, when we will have Motherland Obj244 and ForTheQueen Chieftain ? And btw, WHO THE FUCK ACCEPT THE IDEAL BRING THIS PIECE OF SHIT CAMO INTO PC ?!?!?!?!?!
I’ll buy the tank, not really caring how stupid it looks…I’ll just be thankful the Americans actually HAVE a new Tier 8 Premium tank…when was the last one? M56 Scorpion? Yeesh, seems like a long time ago.
Tank at least looks like it’d perform well, to boot, so there’s that.
The last one was the m46 kr at least that one has a skin that doesn’t look stupid, but rather have our own camos
Actually this might be decent if not for the freakin eagle, but whatever…
Oh my god…… WG finally should prohibit alcohol abuse at work…..
I don’t get this wave of discontent. You don’t like the tank (for whatever reason) = you don’t buy it. What i am curious about though – does this paint scheme provide any sort of camouflage bonus?
because some people like the tank but hates the bright, ‘non military’ camo. They want it but pissed off with the bright color job.
That, and these skins prevent the vehicles from being on sale in the in-game tech tree.
-The premium Patton would have been a nice, historical Super Pershing replacement, for example.
-Panzer 58 would similarly been a great standard premium over the underwhelming Panther88.
-AMX M4 49 could have replaced the limited MM FCM 50t and coincided with the release of new, armoured French HTs (some of which literally from the same development as the 49 AFAIK).
-Skorpion is pretty inarguably better than KnJpz and should have had the tier 8 tech tree position, KnJpz had to be overbuffed to be a viable tier 8 – it should have been a tier 7 IMO.
@Renarde Martel, these skins don’t prevent anything as WG hasn’t put any new premiums into the in-game shop for ages last one was Skoda T40 I believe.
@Sasque, what they prevent is putting THESE tanks into the tech tree, which is part of why we haven’t been getting much new tanks in the tech tree. There are a number of vehicles that were released but didn’t go into the tree, that’s true. It’s because WG was afraid they wouldn’t be too well-liked (59-Patton, KnJpz and M56 Scorpion). The last big premiums to go into the tree are M4 Rev and FV4202.
Counting the WGL skins, we’ve lost 6 good vehicles to ‘exclusivity’. Not to mention tanks being set aside for Clan Wars.
RENARDE MARTEL SAYS: “That, and these skins prevent the vehicles from being on sale in the in-game tech tree”.
It’s a moot point. Rules in WoT are made by Wargaming and they are more then willing to bend them. When it suits their marketing strategies. Remember that parrot coloured French premium? Guess what. It comes without “special” camo in commie premium shop:

From my knowledge, any tank that lacks the ability to mount camouflage would get a bonus in Stealth as if it was.
These skins count as camo paint, yes.
All get a bonus over the base non skin versions it acts like it has camo so it’s free, the reason people don’t like is is that people want to do the customizing themselves (adding camo, emblems and inscriptions), the T26E5 actually looks good thus why people want this tank but again hate the camo
when this tanks, t26e5 and amx m4 49 come to SEA server, rita?? 🙂
so damn tacky
‘MAEIKA! FK Yea! Make me feel all team America just in time for the election. or not.. more false patriotism. Wiil we get a Union Jack Brit tank or maybe a hammer and sickle Soviet tank?
Why would you like a tank with American paintjob? Your economy will drop to pathetic values, and you will crumble on the inside
Oh fuck off with these overpriced bullshit paint job anime tanks.
On top of that they don’t even add this shit to the tech tree so you have to spend money in the shop and can’t use the gold for clan wars and tournaments etc.
At least they’ve learned to sell tanks unbundled so more people will buy them. And no, no way they would sell this stuff for gold, that there are players who earn gold without spending a penny is one of the reasons (it would be the same as getting high-level premiums for free, which clanwars winners already get).
Woah leave anime out of this.
I am sorry. I always overreact to WG bullshit. Or maybe not…
Either way these cartoon paint jobs suck.
(No I will not leave cartoons out of this)
Unfortunately for all of you that are annoyed that your not so stealthy heavy has a not so stealthy camoflauge, this is what people want to buy no matter how loud the minority here is, this tank will sell pretty well
What a waste of a tank I actually wanted. Guess that means my money can go elsewhere.
Petition for the removal of WG via execution or hitman. These Slavs only deserve death. Replace all WG staff with those who have gone to the top 20 US universities and have graduated at the top 15% of their class.
You really are a special snowflake. Excecution or hitman for game developer company who produces something you don’t like… are you realy that stupid?
You really are a special snowflake. Excecution or hitman for game developer company who produces something you don’t like… are you realy that stupid? Wishing death on people who did nothing but give you content you don’t like. Your mentality is what is wrong with this planet…And replacing them with some graduates from american university… why? They can create their own game and sell it. You have no right to take someones intelectual property and make it you own because you don’t like the content.
Fcuk you WG marketing department, fcuk you really hard!
This is getting soo retarded! 🙁
Thanks, WG.
Now all we need is dildo ammunition and SerB’s ass as sky texture.
Go to hell.
Ah yes, adding the “overly attached tankfriend” patriot puke to the PC. These jobs don’t even fit tanks. Who the fuck wants to drive a billboard for idiocy, or have them on the enemy team to blind them for that matter. Bring back mostly fictional tanks, I don’t want to play World of Eyesores, I already have Robocraft for that.
