Just because the T-34-3 and Shit Pershing suck balls doesn’t mean the Type 59 is overpowered… it isn’t. It never was. It’s just as good as regular tanks of it’s tier. That’s not something a premium tank should be, but it’s not OP. Back when there was +/-3 tier matchmaking it wasn’t even OP. Most people who face it are just noobs, so they whine about it being OP, that is all.

Not to say I don’t want one, but… meh. I wouldn’t trade my T34 for one, in any case.

I rekon that it’s different depending on server.
My “Guess” is that on EU/RU servers that premium tanks are a major source of income. My other “Guess” is that on USA server that premium tanks are not “Directly” a good source of income at all but are probably a great source of income for people who want to convert experience. I only “Guess” this based on the fact that the US server can see 2-2.5 tanks “missioned” away each month, where the EU server gets a handful for the year.

Now this isn’t to say that future “On Track” or “Top of the Tree” missions will not start to be the same on the EU server, if that does happen then I would change my “Guess”..

Without WG releasing how and where their income paths are, then we have no way of knowing for sure about any of it. It is their business so I see no reason why they should give us the info, but it would be interesting to see.

[…] Evilly confirms the existence of the Recruitment project. In the eyes of WG, there is however no difference between a newbie and a twink in this sense, will […]

Not that WG needs it. But you would be amazed if you saw NFS world numbers “its a crap game now, they broke it 2 years ago” But more then 20% of their income if form people getting the smallest amount of boost to rent cars they have for a day or 7 days. Some costs as little as 1 euro for a week. Some costs more. But with all the people wanting to try a car out. As most have a rent version of the car you can buy for in game boost. They can try it before they buy it vs other players. You can try premium tanks in War Thunder to. But only on the “test track” not vs players. Its actually a big portion of their income.

So you and your friends all make 2nd accounts and invite eachother. Mucho troll platoons in low tiers!

Invite mode seems more like a “need raise acc numbers for statistics reasons”. This will give an open path to raise/cheat numbers, and WG react: ” it wasnt me”.

Interesting stuff. It might increase sales of prem vehicles and it looks like a win-win situation.

WG gets another credit sink, players get another way to test vehicles, but this time WHEN they actually want to test it AND in actual game enviroment.

BTW
Type 59 is still 10/10.
