Unless I am missing something that is ‘bullshit advertising’ not ‘stronk’. I thought stronk is all about either unintentional mistakes (incompetence) or some dumb nationalistic display.

  Stronk is for making fun of Russian Stalinium! It should never be used in reference of inferior fascist wagons!

  The word “stronk” is so stronk that you can use it for any stronk occasion!
  No strunk limitations!

Got the email as well, was a good laugh.
Klint_Izwudd on January 10, 2015 at 11:42 am said:

If they just buffed the mobility it would be less agonising to watch this trainwreck.

I mean seriously, why take a tier 7 tank up to 8, make it weaker and assume a half adequate gun would balance it?
- Hasenragout on January 10, 2015 at 12:13 pm said:
  
  It’s actually almost the same as the (ofc totally not underpowered) tier 8 Panther II. The gun handling is just a bit better & the mobility a bit worse on the Hit… ehm, Panther88.

Still i do have a over 50% wr on my Panther 88

  Still I have 61% wr on my Panther 8.8.
  and…1488 avr damage…strange enough
Alexander Yordanov on January 10, 2015 at 11:48 am said:

That is only slightly worse then average Win rate :P
Zoran Miljković on January 10, 2015 at 11:57 am said:

Yeah, decision was hard, but I got it as soon as the price was reduced. Much much better than expected. It makes less earnings than Type 59, but it’s fun, because you believe that you have a German sniper, but in reality it’s just a bit better sniper than Type 59. Bounces some shoots, but most of them pen you. Conclusion, nice one for that price…

  I believe i can fly.
  It’s actually easier than getting a carry match with that even if you have green stats

Should say something like.

Become the test, fear your enemies!
Reichsfackel on January 10, 2015 at 12:02 pm said:

It’s a German premium, thus it’s impossible to be “supreme”. If you want a “supreme” tank, go buy a IS-6 and spam gold shells. WG still has some serious problems with bias.
- CAMO_RAY on January 10, 2015 at 1:50 pm said:
  
  more like go buy a 112 and spam gold shells… might cost more but heaps more pen: 250mm pen for HEAT

    Forgot the spaced armor thing,right?

      yeah, i guess so LOL
ombilic on January 10, 2015 at 12:13 pm said:

this is not the tank for the crowds. the crowds want low skill ceiling tanks that perform at least average most of the time (heloo is-6).
- Woras on January 10, 2015 at 12:18 pm said:
  
  That is cheat tank :D
  - Reichsfackel on January 10, 2015 at 1:11 pm said:
    
    IS-6 WR: 52.66 %, Panther 88 WR: 48.63 %.
    
    But WG will never remove the “Gold-OP” IS-6 from premium shop, since WG needs some “Russia is stronk” tanks which can spam gold for cheat mode.
    - Sudno on January 11, 2015 at 4:01 pm said:
      
      They’ll remove it and will sell IS-5 instead.
Dexter5021 on January 10, 2015 at 12:24 pm said:

I made a comparison between Panther 88, and normal Panther II gun:
http://i.imgur.com/mNdRt7v.jpg (100% crew, no equipment, no skills)
Prempanthers gun reloads faster, is more accurate and aims faster, but every other stat is worse.
- Woras on January 10, 2015 at 12:46 pm said:
  
  Aim time little bit better and 0.4s reload shorter.
  Pls more copy paste tanks. Because Turbopanther was not worth the premium status :D
- turarwanaa on January 10, 2015 at 3:03 pm said:
  
  Whoa… I heard it was crap but this… Twice the bloom on turret traverse and 10 degrees less total vertical arc. This thing has 18°… It’s as bad as on the T-34-3.
  Do you have any stats about loss of accuracy during traverse/movement ?
Tyra on January 10, 2015 at 12:40 pm said:

No arty view -) bad tank :-)

I wonder how much they paid Jingles to promote it…

  nothing , if he likes it , he likes it , would you change your opinion of something just because WG made it?
anonymoususer on January 10, 2015 at 12:54 pm said:

Recieved this too. Bunch of cocksuckers EU staff. This tank is a pos!
skpetric on January 10, 2015 at 12:59 pm said:

If they want to sell tanks to noobs,why don’t they make tier 8 premium farty.You just click on red tanks and there you go-credits, veheeeeej!And if they read ftr guide for farty they can click very carefully on red tanks and earn even more credits juhuuuuuu!

Ah but this advertisement already took effect.I saw a potato with 158 battles driving the Panther 8,8.
Torenico on January 10, 2015 at 4:33 pm said:

“Test” its supreme gun. Well I did wanted to test it’s “supreme” gun, but you know, WG new policy of not allowing players to test new premiums on the test server…
- Keldy on January 10, 2015 at 8:26 pm said:
  
  only 2 medium tanks in game have slighty better gun than Panter 88 , Indie and Centurion …….

    Umm.. Obj 416 and STA-1 ?

I often wonder how much native-speaking proof-readers must charge if companies like WG can’t even afford to pay someone to spend 2 minutes making their prose slightly more natural sounding.
tronicson on January 10, 2015 at 5:31 pm said:

This Tank is an EPIC WGN FAIL again.. putting it into T10 Battles is just hilarious (as a premium Tank it should have premium Matchmaking – the Hull is from a T7 Tank)
Nyashaa on January 10, 2015 at 5:48 pm said:

It’s a good tank unless you’re complete garbage
User_1234 on January 10, 2015 at 6:21 pm said:

200mm pen is ok, even vs. almost all t10.
Esp. when you have a mobile tank.
I would always take long 88 or short 105 over a higher pen french/russian gun that aims forever or misses fully aimed.

The only hard part is knowing the weak spots.
But you have to know know them even facing a IS3, in most tanks.

That every beginner can just buy a T8 premium and gets no help ho to play it is another topic…

> WG decides to implement OP premium tank.
OMG WG why you implement OP premium tank? This is blatant PTW, damn you capitalist soviet bias!

>WG decides to implement average premium tank.
OMG WG why you implement UP premium tank? This is blatant money grab, sux tank, I want my money back etc etc…

SS, I get it that you don’t think it’s not a good premium tank. However, seeing you ridicule panther 8.8 almost everyday is not what I exactly saw as fun/informative (once or twice is enough). Yes, WG made a bad decision when they decided to not put in the test server, however I think they have paid it back by giving it discount and chance to refund it before.

If you don’t like it, just don’t buy it. If you have bought it and don’t like it, just refund it. I see no reason for “lol WG stronk decision” anymore. About the advertising, what else do you expect? Do you expect “Test it’s average gun, maybe you could make it works but nah, I think you should buy IS-6 instead?” in the advertisement? Unless they are implementing some system when they prevent new player to buy hightier premium tanks, doing this have no effect whatsoever in overall gameplay since super fresh player won’t be any different in any other tanks even if it’s an OP premium. More ppl buying prem tonks = sustaining the free to play system longer, so it’s not a negative for me, I will pawn them anyway.

Also, what about the “Premium should be same or worse than the normal tank” policy? Isn’t it’s good that they’re returning to that policy?

  EDIT (meh a minute too late to use the edit) : Also, is that Panther 8.8 WR WR stats come from EU server? Because in wot-news stats you just posted yesterday it has 50.67 WR, basically average : http://ftr.wot-news.com/2015/01/09/9-5-branch-statistics/
  
  Nitpicking much?

      Okay okay I understand, you can’t even drive FCM properly so something average like Panther II clone would be too much of a challenge for you. Just wait for the next OP tank, maybe it will help to leverage you from mediocrity.

I bought it and have a 51 percent W/l rate in it. That is better than my 49.76 w/l rate. It is better than the panther II. Better rate of fire accuracy and aim time. It also is much more agile. Its only weaker in top speed. and armor. No T8 medium has decent armor cept the Type 59. This tank is more agile than it and has a better gun. It is a very enjoyable tank to play and prints credits.
