Yup, I fell for that exactly. $120 for an E4 as was told it’s “limited edition” – then it comes out in a pack with all other American Premiums for like $50. Then it was on it’s own for like $15.

The SU-85I is a rare tank, but they didn’t make a big deal of it… I bought it in the gift store for $13.

It’s the same design as the KV-3 hull(longer with an extra road wheel), but the armor values are different. KV-3 is 120/90/90 mm while the KV-220 is 100/100/80 mm.

I don’t lack a social life, and I will be able to get both the KV-220 and the Type 62, thank you very much.
I’m not that great a player either.

Maybe *You* would have to leave whatever social life you may have to bot your way to 2 premiums SS, I don’t know. Don’t talk shit about others.

I think people like you should still try to go for it anyways. Just to get the gold equivalence.

“They do the same with the M6A2E1 2 years ago… people that buy the heavy pack in preorder complain about it and WG remove it from store… this WG movements are in a dangerous areas because people that buy it as special vehicle can simple call for a refund if WG doesnt remove it from store.”

All three preorder tanks were only removed after players found a movie with Victor Kislyi stating (before game’s release on EU) that they will “never ever” be available again. Before that happened, the official party line was something along the lines “we’ve never said that they won’t be offered again” – since then, Victor have never repeated the same mistake again. :) Even preorder WoWP planes came with disclaimer that they won’t be offered within 12 months.

Agreed. The price of the 30€ bundle was fine. If one takes into account the value of the gold and premium time that was included in the bundle, then the tank did cost about 5€, which is the normal price for a 1500 gold tier 5 premium tank.

And boy, it was worth it. It’s surprisingly fast for a KV (good acceleration and ground resistance), and thanks to the decent aim time it is easily possible to snipe weak spots. I have absolutely no trouble with penetrating enemy KVs at their hatches.

Currently it’s my favourite tank for solopubbing. Due to the prevalence of tier 5 players the 5-6 matchmaking also seems to have far more tier 5 games than tier 6 ones.

The matilda is not a tank with great firepower…

It took me 10 with my M4A2E4 to kill one :)
