I also believe type 59 gets special mm correct? if so then yeah the tank isn’t just dominated because all the other prems suck, it’s dominant because it’s one of the better in it’s tier and gives extra credits.

sure it’s not overpowered but it’s definitely one of the better tier 8 mediums.

my point is you are correct that premiums should be equal to a normal tank but they shouldn’t be better than most of the tanks in it’s tier.

People pay real money for these tanks and they should be the equal of a regular tank. Dear God don’t even start with the Pay to Win bullshit. It is not, if anything it would be Pay to be EVEN. WarGammings own mistakes with the Type 59 is what lead to this dumb idea that if premiums are as good as regular tanks all people will do is play them. This is garbage proved in WAR Thunder, premium tanks and planes are equal to regular vehicles and matches are not consumed by Premium tanks.

Yes I realize that matches in china are dominated by type 59′s and that proves everyone’s point. Bullshit! You only see that because all the other premium 8 suck to play compared to the Type 59. I am not just talking about ability to damage or get credits or experience, I am talking about fun to play and the type 59 is the funnest and best tier 8 premium to play. Fix the others and you will see this change.

For the people that want to bitch about real money in the game STFU real money is what allows the game to exist. So hate it all you want but in the end it don’t mean shit because no money means no game.

It’s just like Wargaming to find a Russian tank which on paper was insanely overpowered and simply put it into the game. They are a pathetic company, who are mostly making tanks to appeal to their Russian player base.

First example that came to my mind: IS7 and IS8. While IS7 was a prototype, the tank that followed and entered mass production was IS8, wich was less powerfulll than its predecesor.
