It didn’t see actual service, it saw “field testing”.

It was produced, and it did fight. All were converted back into normal T-34s.

Yes. Respawn for “common tanks” like Sherman, PzIV and T34

Yeah, i think this could be the most reasonable sulotion.

yes it made a lot of players quit, only the ones that really learned from playing and hung in there stayed making the overall game play better.

It was though, it was murderous even, but it was fun anyway, plus the fact that HE did damage no matter what you shot and how small your gun so you could always damage enemy tanks even a MAUS with a 75mm gun. you just had to be a bid more tactical with what you did and were you went.

I remember when i finally got to the ferd and unlocked the 128mm, being able to shoot high tier tanks for actual damage made it all worth the grind, nowadays you just load prem ammo or drive behind the poor sob because he has no idea what he’s doing, entire challenge and sense of achievement is gone.

How about ban them from WoT completely, for increasing time periods (just like when teamkilling)?

It would seem to me that they’d have to give you the tank to drive, as otherwise many players would be excluded because they do not have a suitable tank (and the tank’s configuration/loadout would have to be changed anyway). For example, I currently have about 26 tanks, which I’m told is a lot, and only a handful of them would be ‘valid’.

Also, to keep things rolling, it is likely that the side you’re fighting on would also have to be assigned, as otherwise some nations would suffer unacceptably long que times.

To keep underdogs from suiciding, some sort of bidding system could be interesting. You earn ‘history tokens’ in these matches (and can buy them with gold also, after all, this is WG), and you can bid these tokens to be assigned a ‘top’ tank. But even in the underdog, you have to do something to earn tokens.

Please send me via EU forums a message with those topics so I can stick them to WT fanboi`s face.

Third issue is also obvious: how to make players play the underdog tanks?

Easy boy… GOLD.

UP to 250 per day, like the “ticket” system in wowp, but only award in the last reward tier:

50 Gold: 10 “underdogs” tanks destroyed
50 Gold: 10 battles wins
100 Gold 5 “Top dogs” tanks destroyed
50 Gold for set on fire or deal DMG or track the “top dog” and the rest of team destroy the tank in the “perma track”

So, play 10 days and get 1 month premium time…

You’re thinking of the IS-2… IS-1 was an IS with a 85mm gun, so it was quickly superseded by the 122mm equipped IS-2.

There’s no gold ammo in historical battles? That’s kind of made the whole idea more interesting.
