Same. They've been there for the past three days but marked as 'unavailable' but now the mission tab is empty, they've probably hosed it somehow.

So the T-34-85M is back. It's honestly not a bad tank, it's just not *good*. It doesn't have pref-MM, so it can see T8s, and it honestly needs the better 85mm, but if you're smart, it's a damned good mid-field tank.

If you've been looking for a decent Russian medium crew trainer and don't have a 907 from CW, the package in the store isn't *that* awfully priced. At least you get 30d + 950g as well.

And before anyone new asks...DO NOT BUY THE GROSSTRAKTOR.

If trob isn't currently suffering from some form of autism he probably has some harsh words for you, then again I think he dropped it after they implemented the pubbie-rng changes to the accuracy.

I'm sure it's a playable tank, it's just that if you're going to spend real money for a low-tier German heavy tank, you should've done it while the B2 was up for sale.

Since I am on track to getting a free SU-100Y, should I buy one with gold now? That way when I do get it I can get a little extra gold...

Also, thanks for the suggestions.

Didn't WG change it so you only get refunded the price you paid when you bought it? Or was that something they just talked about doing?

T-34-85M is up in a bundle for £20 with a month of premium and 1700 gold for the next few days on EU. Not sure if it's worth it but I'll probably buy it anyway.

According to WG NA, in order to complete the missions all I have to do is place in the top ten EXP earners for 30 missions in a row? Looks like in 30 rounds with the PZ. B2 I get a free Chi nu Kai.

I think "Winning" is part of the equation as well, at least for part 1. 15 matches where you are top 10 xp and a win

I hear it's actually good now, though not E-25 levels of good which it shares a bracket with. However even thinking about the stupid piece of poo poo gives me PTSD so I'm not going to confirm it.

One of two premium tanks I sold for credits, the other being the Matilda BP.

It is still bad. The armor layout is just terrible - it is great if your opponents are aiming for weak spots where they're liable to whiff with creative jiggling, but if they just snapshot they're liable to hit something they can pen, and it still has the weak spot straight down the gun.

The T14 is probably better, it is the slightly better tank and it's a fair bit more idiot proof with the good side armour. They both need a fair bit of APCR and the T14 does get rather poor pen, but a really new player probably should ignore premium ammo until they know when to use it so they don't just piss away their credits.
