Hey I'll get a premium Emil out of it, which will probably suffer from all the flaws the normal one has.
Can't wait for them to announce what the 2nd reward tank will be but I'll get it too.

I spent 0 hours on whatever this event is, and Ill be getting time spent playing other games out of it

more hp is probably good but the actual reason they're doing this is to make people spend more money on gold ammo at lower tiers

Yeah, some, but for that to properly be the case they would need to add functioning armor to the lowest tiers in addition to the hp buff.

Tier V and VI where there is armor on many tanks the buff is only by 1.31x and 1.12x respectively. So relevant when KV-220s and O-I Exp.s are top tier.

It's WG, you have a week to six more years to expect this or a very nerfed version of it to hit live.

You won't be able to kill tanks in one clip as easily, so it will definitely make them harder to play. Same goes for derp guns.

This is a good change, I hope it goes in.
If there's tanks it "kills" they can tweak them later whilst keeping the concept alive.

Lower tier games are garbage and barely represent even tier 4 games, and this is a good step towards blending out that change.

Just LOOK at that pubbie trap 122mm D-25T. Of course the top gun for the IS at Tier VII will serve my new Tier VIII non-Soviet, tech-tree HT perfectly!

That's all well and good but the gun on the KV-220-2 is absolutely pathetic. Not that it matters because the map design is loving toilet anyway.

Edit:
0-6 session. This game is loving impossibly poo poo.

I was going to edit that in but it felt disingenious.

Also, if we're talking about old matchmaking one of my favourite tanks memories is killing a Type 59 in my M4 by using dishonourable tactics like flanking.

He was busy having a HE slinging duel with a Löwe on my team.

So to prove how desperate WG is getting - evidently during this *BLACK MARKET* event, they might actually be selling the Type 59G in limited quantities.

Today's offer was the M41 90 GF for 5m credits. New offer goes live later this morning.
