Vickers VI as a premium? o_O i was kinda sure it’s going to be in the tech tree…
It would be weird if the VIc were to be a premium as it was one of the most numerous tanks in the British inventory at the start of the war. Hiding away a tank that saw action in France, Greece/Crete and North Africa would seem weird.
But hey, I’m surprised it was not introduced at tier I. when I asked WG about it at the time they were surprised to even be asked about this cute little thing. Turns out they had no plans for it at the time! so at least we get to see it now.
Which makes sense to make it a premium available for free through missions.
Type 59 and 62 were also mass produced and saw widespread service, yet they became premiums anyway.
But it was a different situation – at that point probably nobody really believed, that there might be a full Chinese tech tree, that’s why they added them as premiums, to earn Chinese players’ money.
Oh, and 1 more important thing – both type 59 and 61 ARE present in the tech tree, just under different names – as WZ-120 and WZ-131 respectively.
Zbyszko is right, no one expected Chines tree untill it actually showed up on test server aand he’s right about both premium tanks being in tech tree under their factory desgnations instead of official inventory ones.
Wat about the M60? It’s also another mass-produced tank but instead became a CW reward.
Looks nice to troll around :D
Any info on t 44 as reward tank?
Most likely a supertester reward.
15mm Besa on the Mk.VIc? Might be fun!
Besa? It better get preferential MM or it’s screwed.
There’s already Pz.Kpfw. I that has easier matchmaking and sees tier 1 and 2 tanks only.
This LT has 56 km/h top speed according to the wiki. That may be enough to justify it seeing tier 3 battles I think.
That Combat Car looks awesome =3
+1
+1
+1
+1 :D
+1
+1
Going with the flow.
C-C-C-C-C COMBO BREAKER!
Still waiting for Agri Motor
i dont think vickers is prem tank.
Brace yourselves, New year gift tank info is comming.
hope so… they look cool (Way better than the t2E6 crap….)
I dunno, I like my T1E6. Close range it’s a death machine
T2LT at close range is better :-)
With t1e6 you can actually penetrate tanks with premium ammo and it reloads faster. Have them both, like them both. Sure, not as much as Tetrarch ;)
Hmm… 4 more slots are hidden. What else do tey have for us?
Squint and you can see them!
Looks like they have 2 more prem tanks hidden, if you look at the place where the tank name is supposed to be.
they all look American. but the british flag being blurred might look the same.
They are hidden to protect person who leaked info and not to tease you.
oh yeah. good eye.
Lol, why were the faces of the crew members hidden?))) Is someone afraid to violate their privacy?
The leaker will get banned very easily if they know wich guy has this exact crew list on their tank.
Exactly, WG got monstrous amount of data to find out who leaked these screen caps. It is really wise to cover up anything that might indicate who he is.
EU Supertesters leaking stuff again…sheesh…better sack them!
I guess you mean RU supertesters.
EU supertest doesn’t exsist anymore
Sarcasm. Go buy some at your local gas station.
???????????????????
Seriously, how old are you i love making models?
why are you asking for my age you creep!
Because you may or may not be mentally deficient.
You like children… ?
this :D
That was an ironic statement, since EU testers got sacked for leaking stuff but the leaks still continued…see?
Even after he was told it’s sarcasm he still didn’t get it. My bet goes he’s 12 y old at best.
We must educate the motherfuckers.
contenance, motherfuckers!
* and yeah, he might be retarded.
No Peugeot FT18 ? I’m sad. T_T
But it’s nice to see those tanks. :)
so SS what other “mission reward” tanks are there?
also they look so ugly I would be ashamed to own one
oh come on, the combat car looks pretty cool with that shaped armour and aerodynamic design.
it’s too cube like for me. and the MK.6c looks like what the scorpion tank was based on.
Wut? Scorpion? Mate, I want some of the shit you smoke…
The FV 101. Google is your friend.
I took a look. Can’t say I see the resemblance.
They would probably go lovely with your face :D
there’s absolutely no need for that. so stop trying to start something
omg did i write “shaped”? of course i meant “sloped”.
ok i’m changing my mind so now the Mk.6c is now classed as cute.
so you still think the combat car is ugly as fuck? :(
uummmm….kinda. if I were to see a full 360 degrees view of it I would probably change my mind.
anyway back to the main question. what other “mission reward” tanks are there?
More junk to sell, hopefully w/ free garage slot. Thanks for the garage slot, if ever. I’d rather they clean up their act and ban troll accounts that steal enjoyment from the game daily.
hope that even an avrage player could get them…
Yay, more heavy MGs on paper boxes! :P
…is it just me or does the T7 look like a Christie-suspension job?
um..i think it might be Christie. from the basic look it probably will be.
this pic shows the suspension a bit better.
http://alternathistory.org.ua/files/users/user329/755cg59mn8495.jpg
after studying it for a bit I would say it probably is
Actually, from the photo it doesn’t look like a Christie suspension system. The two rear roadwheels look like they share a stack of leafsprings.
Christie suspension refers to a specific arrangement of the springs using a lever to transfer movement to them, NOT the complete lack of return rollers, with the returning track segment touching the large roadwheels.
I know perfectly well what the Christie system is and isn’t thanks. And that looks FAR more like it than like some kind of external-spring solution on account of, you know, a distinct shortage of visible external spring units.
http://imgur.com/Uw8koY5
The highlighted area looks like a cylindrical mount with the leafsprings on the top and an anchor plate on the bottom, the whole system held in place by bolts.
Just google the damned thing, and you’ll find a ruskie site talking about its history. For some reason, it seems like a rather reputable source…
…and front roadwheel would be sprung by what exactly?
Damn Russkie moon runes, but I do note the bugger apparently had “dual drive” capability:
http://alternathistory.org.ua/files/users/user329/7c8e97f8954.jpg
That certainly smacks of a Christie mutation.
It is a Christie tank, built around 1930, so called pinnacle of armoured cavalry.
Finally a tank to train my crusader crew
just get to the Cromwell ASAP and train them on that it’s much better
But Crusader is OP
in close range itss epic :D
Still waiting for a Matilda I :(
which matilda? there’s heaps to pick from even though the 2 biggest are in game
He said the Matilda I.
I know that, but why would anyone want another crappy tank
STOP BEING STUPID.
This made me chuckle.
Are you serious or trolling ?
and full retard mode again, here we go…
Damned Europeans leaking everything… oh wait…
Hmmm. . . Interesting.This may prove useful. Maybe that’s why they did the S.Pershing, T-34/3 and 112 as they did in the 8.8CT. To see if the system worked. Well, now, we know why they did it.
EU supertesters leaking stuff again. That’s why they need some more NA Supertesters…who have at least 6k battles.
SS, do you know if they will bring the firefly sherman sometimes?
Commonwealth british medium line.
It’s in the works.
thanks, with the chieftain at top?
I bet SerB leaked this info personally
Im just wondering, why are the faces of the crew members blurred? Is it some super-test policy?
Never mind it was said above….
Hopefully the T7 gets to use AP ammo instead of Ball in it’s Browning. Will definitely try and get one of these.
And a premium Mk.VIc… this doesn’t bode well for a full Vickers light tank line.
Nice to see the supertest leaks have ended now they’ve kicked out all the EU testers… oh wait!
Awwww… So cute…
I love low-tier tanks :D
