I would like to suggest the correlation between bad stats and bad price. The good players know a good deal, and this one wasn’t. The less than good players bought it, and played it, and gave it poor stats. Let’s keep our eyes on it’s stats now that its cheaper and better, more savvy players are likely to get it.

I was warned off it by the news around here (but I wasn’t likely to buy it till I knew more about it anyway), I bet most others were too.

Make it have Perf-MM and everybody will be happy.
They didn’t need to reduce the price at all if they gave it “Tier 8-9 Battle Tier”.

I believe that may be regulated by the country law where the company is based. For WG it would be Cyprus I believe.

I know that in Polish law there is a rule that you can withdraw anything bought through the internet within 14 days without giving any reason. And apparently, starting new year, if this is not mentioned in the contract, you can withdraw it within a year :D

Panther II UFP is about 150 mm effective, so you can make it 175 with some angling and sides are 60 mm which is enough to bounce all but 183 AP when sidescraping. Plus some autobounce area on the turret front.
When compared to other T8 mediums it’s pretty good…
And Panther 88? Panther I hull, so 120 mm UFP (34-2 standards), 100 mm LFP and 50/40 mm sides – 40 mm is behind tracks, 50 is only upper side armor (so no sidescraping vs 120+ mm guns – they are quite common). Same turret as Panther II.

Conclusion – Panther II hull front works vs tier 6 and most tier 7 mediums, Panther 88′s – does not. Difference between 40, 50 and 60 mm side armor is pretty big – it’s not +10 mm (since head on it’s shit anyway) but +30 mm in caliber of possible bounce

check email confirmation from WG

edit : just checked my payment history and in past such note was indeed missing
Which was wrong coz by law you have to provide such service when you are selling over internet

anyway, for few months such note exists

You should have bought it when it was on a -15% sale! (Or is it still?)
11k g is quite much for it but at -15% it’s worth every penny. That is if you like the playstyle!

Not true. Nothing like that is mentioned in the contract. At least i haven’t found anything like that when I bought my T-34-3 about two months ago.
