Let me translate this (which is what I’m going to post anyway):
With patch 9.0 (months ago), about 100k GT’s were gifted to players on CN server (it is now sold for RMB28 =1120 gold).
The requirement to get the tank “for free” at that time was to achieve like a total of 20 wins between 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. in the designated two days OR buy 800 gold (its not the price, you can use the gold later).

In a word, NO vehicle is rare on CN server. Whatever is already in game (can get into battles, even if it’s press account exclusive on other servers) is purchasable for RMB in China.

Except that the gun isn’t really THAT good. It’s fine for a tier 3 tank, but it’s pretty derpy. While the TOG can engage targets reliably at range with the 17 lber, the 75 mm howitzer on this thing requires you to get close to hit anything consistently. Furthermore, the TOG doesn’t need premium ammo to do pretty well (I can probably count the number of premium shells I’ve actually fired from that gun on one hand), but this thing…well…you CAN just spam HE all day, but the AP shells are pretty much useless, and you might want to bring some HEAT for tier 5 games (since this thing doesn’t seem to get preferential matchmaking, even though frankly, it SHOULD get it)

Indeed. The German mediums currently have the most premiums of any type of tank in the game. If you have this, the Panzer S35, the T-25, Panzer IVS, Panther/M10, Panzer IV Hydro and Panzer V/IV (good luck getting one of these outside the RU server), along with the upcoming tier 8…that’s 8 premiums (and of these, I already have three – I would get the other five if given the opportunity though, since I’ve enjoyed driving German mediums quite a lot)

3个月前，中国服务器送了大概100000辆这辆坦克给玩家作为礼物

What is the crew layout? If nothing else it could be an ok crew trainer if it doesn’t have an odd layout. :)

Actually it doesn’t look to be that bad – as long as it doesn’t end up in tier 5 games, a competent player can make it work. Just limit the maximum tier it can see to 4 and it’ll be fine.

but one thing that i see as a big plus is the fact that its a medium xD
i mean, its still able to train your crew with it
so you got this one, the other tier 3, the t-25, the pz4st, the panther/m10 and the upcoming tier 8 thing
if you ignore the hydro (and the mediocrity of some of the tanks), you get ~6 german premium mediums to train your crews with – so in my opinion thats rather nice

so its huge tank with no armor, that can easily penetrate howitzer HE shell, that use sealpadders, i just wonder how much people will actually pay for this thing…
