Highly unlikely, we will probably recieve another tier 2 tank.

Is there any chance the SU-76i could be the New Years award tank? Would be nice to get something besides a light tank for once.

Yeah we really need another Soviet premium TD but I hope they are also hard at work preparing a German premium TD because as of now the selection is very limited for both countries. Unlike the US line which has had a number of premium TD for some time now.

I hope you can taste the sarcasm through your computer screen

Wow I sure hope WG does not waste time on a US Premium TD and puts all it’s effort into getting these into the game faster. Lord knows there is a shortage of Soviet premium TDs :-/

The SU-85i is a very enjoyable tank for the few battles I have recently been able to play in it, 7 to be specific. Plays very much like a Stug with the 75, but the 85 doing more damage suffers in other areas like penetration, aim time, and accuracy.

From what I can tell the SU-76i will perform a bit like a cross between an SU-76 and a stock StuG III…so that means high camo, good mobility, lackluster armor and adequate gun performance (assuming it’s no higher than tier 4 – if that’s the same gun on the SU-76i as the 76 mm gun on the SU-76, then it won’t cut it on a tier 5 TD due to lack of penetration).

The Su-85i, by comparison, should perform a lot like the SU-85 or a fully-upgraded StuG III, and with all of the SU-76i’s strong points but with a better gun, and without the main disadvantage of the SU-85: its appallingly-short view range (I can’t tell you how annoyed I’ve gotten driving an SU-85 because of scouts refusing to do their jobs, or doing their jobs poorly and dying in the first minute of the game). Basically, the SU-85i will play almost exactly the same as a StuG III, so if you like that kind of TD it seems to be a nice choice.

I’d take the SU-76i over the Marder 1 anyday. While the Marder 1 was good, i would rather trade some penetration power for better mobility.
