Have it fire APCR as Primary ammo at half cost and you have a deal. Running Standard AP at 132 penn is a joke for this gun. Its the Dreaded 88, common.

And they aren’t going to give a tier 6 prem tank more HP than a tier 7 tech tree tank of the same type. That’d be like a Type 59 having more HP than an elited T-54.

You’re so full of shit it’s dripping from your eye sockets.

Not counting anti-aircraft platforms, trucks or half-tracks, Germany did not have 30 mass produced types that are not already represented in the game in one form or another.

Want me to start naming US vehicles that saw serial production or were actually prototyped that aren’t in the game? I’d be typing the list all day…

But let’s keep giving Germany prem tanks. Because they sell to fanboys who saw them on the History channel. Meanwhile, we’ve got other trees with glaring holes in their unit listings. US is still in pretty major need of a medium tree overhaul AND a 2nd medium tree, but hey. Once the German fanboys have enough prem tanks, maybe..

My guess is this would be a training Tiger to be used for an expanded version of the tutorial in the same way there is the training Panther.

That’s the most logical conclusion IMO, based on the following:
- There is no need to create an already existing tank with the same modules but modified stats unless this is to be used for a special purpose.
- There was talk of expanding the tutorial, which should include a separate section for heavy tanks. The Tiger would be a good candidate to teach new players because it is popular, “feels” like a heavy.
- A premium and historical Tiger at tier 6 would be too similar to normal tier 6 tanks, and at tier 7, would require preferential matchmaking effectively making it a tier 6 regular. It doesn’t sit well in the tree if you ask me.

Dude Germany has at LEAST 30 tanks that were NOT blueprints that actually fought, were mass produced, produced in limited numbers, or were prototypes NOT in the game, I wasn’t meaning blueprint tanks but YES if you add them more like 40. I was also meaning that could be put in the tree NOT as premiums but yes I’m ok with premium tanks being added.

Be nice if it came with a historically correct skin.

Russia has 2 heavy premium tank that is readily accessible. US has 2. British have 2.

And don’t get started on German paper projects. Germany gets the most off-the-wall ridiculous designs that MIGHT have MAYBE existed on a napkin somewhere, while US has vehicles that actually served with our armed forces in the game’s timespan and saw serial production yet aren’t in the game. Not to mention prototypes and pilots that actually existed. When the US gets the M47 and M60A1, you’ll have a right to bitch about your napkinwaffles not being in the game.

But let’s give Germany more prem tanks! Even if they’re clones of tech tree tanks! STuG IV, Panther and Tiger…

Still waiting for that US prem TD.

Russia has 5 Heavy Premium tanks, U.S.A. has 3, and British have 2, you might want to do some research before you talk about stuff you have no clue about or it makes you look like an uneducated fool.

Also I bet you are one of those people that whine EVERY time Germany gets more tanks, well I hate to break it to you but it’s not their fault they have more tanks, prototypes, and blueprints for tanks than ANY other nation Hitler was obsessed with bigger and better tanks so there were always new tanks on the drawing board. Germany has probably 30-40 more tanks that actually fought, were mass produced, produced in limited numbers, prototypes were made or blueprints were drawn up for that are NOT in the game that can STILL be added so just accept it. I can name at least 20 off the top of my head right now and that’s without doing ANY digging or researching.
