All what i want is that T-54 is made as tier 10 tank.

On the possibility of it being a light tank, and not a medium, it would not be immediately comparable with same tier mediums, and especially not the Type 59 with it’s preferred MM. Light tank means light tank MM.

It still is. If you’re being penetrated more it might be because of the premium ammo being sold for credits.

The Type 59 is still very difficult to penetrate for most of the t6 and some t7 guns.

A lot of t8 meds also have problems penetrating it frontally. When you compare it to the T-44 it is, arguably, a better package and it completely outclasses the T-34-2.

“(…) The armor was especially OP as the lower tiers couldn’t touch it (…)”

Yes… it WAS :)
Personally, for me – Type 59 is still good premium tank. But its just a shadow of Type 59 from release day (i bought it in same day when WG introduced it – my brother did same). I still were noob, but when we played it in platoon, i was very impressed. It bounced so many shells, reload, firepower, accuracy was great. Impressive mobility. And the most important thing – it was flat. When i sticked to E75 or Maus, i was almost invincible.
Today Type is still great premium, but its not OP. 1v1 battle against Type isnt such challenge anymore.
2,9s of aimtime? It pains. But with good crew, its not so terrible. Im just used to this.

T-54 as premium 8 tier med? Sure. Id glady buy it if WG introduce it. Another one fast earning tank, which can be fun while playing in wolf pack :))

T8 LTs already get into Battle-Tier 12 (which is the highest -> a T10-only match with some T8-scouts)

There is no point in adding T9 LTs, unless you rebalance ALL light tanks (again).

Most of that could be due to the reduced mm though. If it faced tier 10 one third of the time like regular tier 8 tanks it wouldn’t do so well.

First of all, Type59 is not OP. Check it from the press account:)
Second – T-44-85 is not ill-fated and it’s planned for 8.11 release and it’s great (I have it, it’s a fun tank to play and one of the best T7 mediums if not THE best). Therefore, there’s no need for T-54-premium.

OP as hell for premium.
Also doesnt fit to high tier too. Maybe hovercraft T-62A stats will do good for it.
