Good day (or perhaps early morning at this rate),
Taking a hint from World of Tanks Console, the Chinese server of World of Tanks PC has released a new premium reskin: 113 ‘Beijing Opera’. Not terribly up to date on the culture or significance behind it, but I can’t help but think of this as something from an old Batman comic.
Asking price is around 22,500 Gold apparently, though nothing has officially shown in the store yet. The crew is apparently based off of the faces of the Peking Opera.
And kind of terrifying.
Good thing it’s not inroduced on EU or NA. Imagine the new players getting a tier 10 just like that.The horror. D:
Do you understand what you are reading its “Premium RESKIN” you need to grind the tank and buy the skin for it if you want so
It’s not ‘just a skin’, it’s a separate tank. When he says ‘premium reskin’, he means ‘a separate premium tank with a premium skin’, just like the LIberty, the Patriot and the AMX tank. 22.5k would be insane for just a skin :P…
Doesn’t really change anything though.
I have said it before and i say it now,wg will at some point in the future sell tier 10 premiums. Just wait until the game begins to die (it may take a long time but it will happen eventualy) and you will see wg sell whatever she can to stay afloat…. They single-handedly ruin tier 8 with the defender,liberte,patriot and skorpion G (since with the other premiums like m4a1 and sta2) compose 90% of all tier 8 tanks in the team lists. I challenge you,take a paper and write down all the tanks in tier 8 for 10 battles and see how many of them are premiums! Wg doesn’t give a crap about balance,only money. Just remember they told they would never sell e25 again and after some time they sold it! They are not trust worthy and they will sell whatever to make some quick money. I would not like to see tier 10 premiums of course,but i don’t thinki they particularily care about what the playerbase thinks…
ps:if you want to thumb down,do it but please write the reason bellow! Thats how we can hove a conversation that may lead to some changes though i doupt it.
this is premium skin
not a premium tank
wich means you need to have the 113 already to use this premium skin
Yes I know this is a skin! The topic I open is for wot in general,so we can discuss about the state of the game and the route it is taking!
I have said it before and i say it now, wg will at some point in the future start killing all the firstborn of families where there is no WOT player. It is the Evil Company!
This is the gift that will be given to any players that own a 113, since 113 is to be replaced by the 5A on the Chinese server, and they get the 113 BO as a reward for some extremely easy missions, basically a free gift.
Not really, they get a normal premium 113(with -5° gun depression) by those easy missions. And still need to pay to get 113 BO.
Sorry you are right, I have to double check next time I post
Why would they replace it? It’s so unlike them to replace a perfectly good tank.
cuz its asia server its all fucked up already with the anime tanks etc
on Chinese server the 113 BO is not a reward tank.players use 111-5a do some missions to get the heavy tank 113, but the 113 BO still have to pay.
No, that’s 113 premium. 113 BO is a completely different tank.
Does it actually earn credits like a real premium or is like a CW-Premium?
its skin not a tank
you need to ow n 113 to use this if its being sold
rly, cause 22500 gold for a skin is ridiculous
I want that tank 🙁
Looks so good.
…i’d actually want that
apparently, the crew are members of the Beijing Opera orchestra.
I see a (chinese) drum, something like a balalaika (both in the rear middle) and 2 guitar-like things on the rear left of the tank.
so, question is, will you hear chinese opera music as long as you dirve that tank?
It looks very creative, that’s fine, compared to KONGZHONG’s clone fake tanks.
“Beijing Opera” was one of the few approved types of media that was allowed during the Cultural Revolution, and is a specific type of performance.
Horrror – t10 prem tank,worst case scenario in WOT.I will quit WOT with first t10 prem tank in game.
DAMN that thing is fugly! That said, any idea when SEA will get the patch you all have had for weeks now?
Wow dat asking price doe…
225k gold….hmm empty the bank boys 😉
Unless you read a typo that was fixed before I read it, that says 22.5k, not 225k. Still much though :P.
Yeah lol. It read ‘22,5000 gold’ originally hehe
You’re not wrong, I did put that originally then edited it late when somebody brought that too my attention. Mea culpa.
Still a ridiculous amount though…
Hehe. Just some humour mate 😉
wg reaching new lows far too often recently. i wonder how much they were paid for their newest misconception
The crew is apparently based off of the faces of the Peking Opera.

Stories in the Chinese Opera are passed down through generations, hundreds, if not thousands of years.. AFAIK, one in red was some kind of war hero, the black/white face was a villain, one of the other two was a master tactician in warfare.
The musical instruments on the tank are just excellent. I wish WG does more tanks the reflect specific cultures.
