  1. how do you mean ” cant have it ” ?

    PS: i mean… at the moment or … they wont give it for free ?

    • Hmm, if I had the patience and time I would look through previous posts to see if this was the case.

    • Not sure about the engine deck design, but if those are intake grills for the cooling radiator fans, wouldn’t that keep the top sheet metal pretty damn cold from the fresh air continually passing over it?

      Particularly if the tank is moving, so it didn’t have a chance to slightly warm the surrounding air.

      Also possible, is that the snow was “just” deposited there. The top sheet metal wouldn’t be hot to the touch of the tank was just moving enough to kick snow up there, it’d take a few moments to melt the snow.

      • Alternatively the tank may have just started up in response to a spotted tank and the rear deck just hasn’t had time to heat up.

        ORRRRR it’s above the arctic circle in fall or spring and is so cold the tank’s engine deck can’t heat up above freezing

        Any number of reasons. Some people just want a reason to bitch. I think it’s pretty damn cool looking and have made it my wallpaper, since the FV4202 is my baby.

  2. ..just grinding it (omg Centurion stock is PAIN…), only because of the premium one, if they wont give it for free, well, i think i will pay visit to mr SerB and “talk” to him… :)

  3. This is exactly why you won’t get it. Too much people attracted to a potential “free premium”. Since they announced the change, assuming they actually swap that around July 2015, that’s 1 year for everyone and their mums to finish the grind. WG isn’t a charity company so just forget it. If it wasn’t for the delays I could hope there will be a free FV4202 but with that massive delay – LOLNOPE.

    • yes! Like when i have the tank in 1 year ago. Very few care about it. Now suddenly people go crazy. =..=

  4. The buff is said to have helped. I know that it is rated under other X meds, but I did really well in the Cent/Cent7/1 – so I said what the hey and picked up the 4202. It was also credible that WG would pull a fast one on the prem deal.

    After the 4202 I will pick up the 50/120 and the STB1 – just need silver.

    BTW, I know that it is a radically different tank, but isn’t the rear deck of a M1A2SEP mad crazy hot – my Army friends state that you can heat MREs on them.

    • Gas turbine, spits out a *lot* more heat than a regular piston engine.

      That said, Tank engines are big, that engine deck is going to be warm to the touch no matter what kind of engine its using, definitely warm enough to melt any snow.

  5. Ah yes, shooting at a Leopard 1, because we aren’t allowed to shoot at the West’s real enemy in the Leo 1′s era

  6. Weird that they take a tank which only special feature is turret face and front plate and show it from the back with the turret angled on the side where we can’t see it o0
