Looks more interesting than the Su-85
Fake or not, they sure look interesting and i’d like to play them. Sadly due to the whiny nature of the community WG doesn’t even bother to introduce them to the EU, RU, NA and SEA market. Really a shame, but hey, when some players criticise every single thing WG does then i would do the same. Sure, WG screws up a lot, but they get way to much hate, there are devs who do twice as much shit and get much less hate. EA for exemple.
I don’t think WG is the problem here. These weren’t created by WG after all.
I myself do not want to see more fake things based on nothing but, let’s say, a line in an official report that “It would be nice if we make this sometime”. Although I doubt that these Chinese stuff even hit this low bar of criteria.
Adding doubious or outright fake tanks like these Chinese TDs to all of the servers would open the floodgates to any fantasy tanks IMO, like the E100 Krokodil, the E79 or even worse. This isn’t what this game needs. Especially since there are dozens and dozens of historical vehicles yet to be added.
So you’re saying you have gone through every Chinese archive and can confirm with 100% certainty that all these TDs are fake? That no proposals, design plans or planned modifications of captured/bought tanks exist?
And since you want to bring up fake tanks: FV215b, T110E4, T28, T28 Proto, T25/2, VK72.01K, PzKpfw VII, E75 turret, E100 is using the Maus II turret… and that’s just listing a few off the top of my head without touching on tanks that have had their armor changed greatly from what’s historically documented
To answer your question, obviously no. That is just a speculation on my side. But I said that.
Although, let me ask you a question then. What do you think, why did WG state multiple times that these TDs are most likely only come on a the chinese server? Why would they limit the audience of an ‘authentic’ TD line?
Because the EU, NA and RU communities are whiny babies?
Yeah, give us more fake shit! This is exactly what this game needs! Fuck balance! Fuck fixing p2w! Need more tanks!
Because WG China is its own entity that work outside of WG RU, WG NA, WG EU and WG ASIA, THAT’s why it’s not coming to other servers and thats why the Chinese server already has the Chieftain and can even buy tier 10 CW reward tanks.
And WG RU has stated that there would be no new tank lines this year while they work to finally fix the game, so the fact that WG China are bring in a new tank line futher shows that they do what they want with no relation to the other servers…
Fake stuff are easier to balance. And these designs are logical. I dont know if they existed, but at least so far they make sense, tank building wise (for the Chinese at the time).
I want Chinese tanks. I would prefer them to be real designs or prototypes or napkin tanks. From what I know, China had a real possible second heavy and TD line.
First of all, all developing chinese TDs by KongZhong/WG are fake.
And the design are not logical either, the PRC has about zero capability on tank modifications until USSR taught them how to build T-34s and T-54A, and since PRC hasn’t go back to the concept of casemate TDs until the Type 89 at the 1980s. (To be more accurate, Type 89 was made to test their 120mm smoothbore, but PRC found is easier to adopt the technology of Soviet’s 125mm as USSR was breaking down in the early 90s)
@ DEADARASHI both t28 designs are real, both löwe designs are real (armor and gun configuration should change between Tier 8 and 10 to make it 100% historical but i can live with that) and e-100 had a planned turret which looked like the ingame one, it only had the maus turret on some blueprints because the production turret wasnt ready at this time, dont know about t25/2 and e-75 though but i agree on the fact, that fv 215b (not 183) is fully made up by wg
Haha, go Deadarashi!
I don’t want them because they are better than any other TD at their tiers until this one.
No new seal clubber tanks thanks very much.
It seems like they are the best just because they are Chinese tanks meant for the Chinese server, so they have to be better than anything else.
P.S. I would much prefer Jap. TDs anyway, historical AND interesting 🙂
really who gives a FK about tanks that are only for the Chinese server… is it a slow news day?
Would you rather read nothing all day? Ok, I’ll be sure to inform our readers that we’re tailoring the blog too your specific needs then, snowflake 😉
Off topic: when will 9.18 be released on EU?
China has developed a light 85mmTD around 1960. But I don’t think the60 GFT is fake tank..
Modify,But I think the60 GFT is fake tank..
