if the crew included the ability to drop anime girls on tanks you killed with some obnoxious noises as a taunt i'd buy it

When you shoot and penetrate a tank, you implant the anime girls into it for the rest of their game.

Yeah, for loving 80 euros. Do not buy the Type 59 for this price, it is not worth anything close to it in 2021.

That price is nuts. It's still a good tank, but shouldn't be any more than the super pershing.

Well see they did the clever job of packaging it with 30 days of premium time, a bunch of gold and a bunch of other meaningless poo poo and then cranked the price WAY up.

See also: a T6 Fury for 30 euros.

E: loving christ, several tanks spotted for three to four minutes, but our six bush wankers either fail to shoot at them, or hit them. Why do I even play light tanks?

The only deal that's worth contemplating is the Steel Chameleon (the Rudy that can swap from Polish to Soviet). For 25 bucks you get a premium version of the T-34-85, some gold, 30 days of premium, and eight zero skill crew (4 PL, 4 RU). Now that there's a Polish medium tech tree, the Polish crew is actually useful.

I am shocked they put the Type 59 up for only 80 bucks, to be honest.

Also, Rudy is best tank because it comes with a dog.

It might be getting lost in the OMG TYPE 59 hullabaloo but they're also selling the Rudy for $25 which includes 900g and 30d of premium and the Tiger 131 for the same price, which also comes with 500 gold and another 30d of premium.

SELL THE T-44-100 AGAIN YOU FUCKS. Also, the 12.5k gold they're adding onto the Type 59 bundle makes me mad because gold really is pretty much worthless these days.

At this rate I expect the Type 59G will be sold for $149-199 by Christmas.

Hoping for a bunch of type 59s in the tier 8 queue on NA this weekend. That tank is made of matchsticks and gasoline and can't side scrape against 122mm guns. Will be a great weekend for 112 or T-34-3 play.

T8 games on the EU servers were chock full with Type 59s. They all thought their turret armour is amazing. Fun times in my ISU-152, just popping heads.

The type-59s turret armor is really good, that doesn't mean sit infront of a 152mm gun with like 300 base pen or w/e the gently caress.

Except that they didn't even need to do it that way. Some other games just either install a launcher through Steam that then installs the actual game separately or they install the game through Steam, but the launchers have non-Steam logins.

I suppose there's some demonical reason why they chose to gently caress with the existing playerbase.

I haven't played WoT in years but I saw it on the store page and all the negative reviews and figured I may as well check this thread.

God drat they're selling almost everything.. Defender, E75TS, Type 59, Lansen, Somua.
The end times must be upon us :ohdear:

e; the 9€ something Rudy package is very nice if you missed the LIS/274a marathons and would like a Polish medium BiA crew plus a Soviet one. That is nuts.
The frequency with which they push out stuff/events is exhausting. Are they gonna run the spring marathon in parallel with the battle pass?

Apparently the EU servers are going from two interspersed Top of the Tree specials to three simultaneous ones every month. In may it'll be the WZ-111-5A, the Italian mediums and T110E3.

So that's cool, but because WG's gotta WG, they're also nerfing the discounts for Top of the Tree tanks from -30% to -15%.

I really want that Lansen C 3d style but I already own the tank. I suppose they're gonna charge me the full price and not discount the cost of the tank itself if I buy the bundle. Big sad. Not gonna buy the tank twice.

It's funny, they're finally selling it openly and I haven't seen a single one over the recent two days.
I don't think they're advertising this sale very well. It's all about the anime stuff.

^^ they don't discount, but you'll probably get the nominal gold value of the tank reimbursed when you log in. It's 6700 gold :smith:

Someone at WG must owe the mafia money or something, because now they're also selling the Caernarvon Action X, the T77 and the Turtle. And a "bundle" where you get an FCM 36 PaK 40 if you buy a month of premium.
