Hello everyone,
so, yesterday, I got asked several times: “what is the super secret tank, awarded for the Fury competition”? Well, unless it gets leaked by the “Insider”, we won’t know for sure of course, but it’s not that hard to guess.
- it is something that is in the game already or was developed previously (competition end might not line up with new patch)
- it is something that was already supertested (which means it is something that we have seen before)
- it is not something EU server exclusive (WG does not work that way)
- it is something lowtier (current policy is that hightier tanks are not given out as rewards, only lowtiers do)
Well, basically there are only two options and one is much more likely. SU-76I and Grosstraktor – and given the fact that a Soviet tank destroyer is in no way related to the movie and it was tested ages ago (years, really), I think it’s going to be the Grosstraktor, which is… not a good tank, to put it mildly.
Edit: hmmmm looks like I might have been wrong with my guess. On it.
By the way, at first I was actually thrilled by the competition – not that I want to participate (even if I was Steven Spielberg himself, I wouldn’t win anyway) but the first prize is very exciting (a paid trip to USA – you don’t have the option to win that every day) and I thought we’d some some very creative things.
Then I checked the rules and damn, they are pretty strict. Pretty much no creativity is allowed, I think that all you will get is a bunch of videos showing a Sherman shooting at a Tiger with the “allowed” clips in the background and then a big “Fury” title and that’s it. How will it be decided which clip is better, I have no idea. But who knows, maybe I will be surpised.

“current policy is that hightier tanks are not given out as rewards, only lowtiers do”
Heh, is it something that came into effect, like, yesterday? :)
See this contest announced 10 days ago and with Type 59s as rewards:

Hmm…too bad they’re not doing anything here on NA like that. I wonder if the “super secret” tank will be the alpha/beta tester M4A2E4 Sherman? That would make sense, since the movie is about Shermans…
Tester rewards are not handed out or sold.

If it was supertested, then it was almost certainly leaked.

btw if this stuff about shermans and supertested then maybe we have shermans what got supertested but got no leaks about it? im talking about the T6,M4A2,M4 Improved,M4/M26(this thing is sexy :3),Sherman II (Lend-Lease),Sherman IC Firefly maaaaaybe?:D some of these maybe got supertested, but they tested it with just only a few testers thats why we don’t have leaks about them? but this is just only my thinking :)
maybe its something like sherman with fury skins?
It happend with KV-220, if I remember correctly.
My special guess is E4 shermann with special “Furry skin”, like the T26E4 Freedom was.
But KV220 is RU tester reward, not EU. You won’t see E4 given out on EU.
Ofc…. Isnt it obvious enough? :)
A bad tank can be good if it gets placed low enough. Großtraktor Tier 1 premium? Yeah, any time.
when 9.3 test server will relase?
Is it Type 59G ? :3
Yes you will get is and in all battles your own team will kill you .
Why ? Noone need it for expert.
LTP?
BTW, why some of the articles look like this: http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p27/bolo999/ftr_zps18f884cf.png
?
SU-76i was tested reletively recent, SS. I think you’re mixing it up with the SU-85i
SU-85I was already released I think. SU-76I is ancient stuff, it appeared like two years ago for the first time… hmmm, maybe they re-tested it?

SU-85I is still available in the gift shop ;)
Well, if it is gonna be the Grosstractor, i hope they fix thatmtrack bug first though. (Last i checked the track was not a ‘spaced’ armor, but just regular armor.)
Well… maybe it’s an M6A2E1 or a M4A2E4 (even been Beta reward it’s only to be given 20 of them…). It SHOULD be something related to that “Fury” tank (anyway Wargaming can give any annoying tank they have in the sleeve).
Could it be the T6 medium tank? You posted about it last year : http://ftr.wot-news.com/2013/07/21/t6-upcoming-american-tank/
Very interesting find. Could indeed be the case!
Type 59 :D
What are the rules of the competition and when will it happen?
And is there a limited amount of traktors available?
Found for my first question. But which program can I use to make such a video?
Hmm, a BT-SV or Pz II J would be a reward worth competing for. They’re not RU server exclusive, and they’re super rare. Will be interesting to see!
This sounds like a Canary Trap….

I have played with Großtraktor and must say – it is definitely A CRAP. High HP pool, many crew members (good for crew training) but the gun is ugly and the whole tank is a paper.
