It looks like a lighter, German locust with slightly better view range slightly worse camo. I honestly can't recall a time with no rare tanks. Does that happen? It used to be more sporadic than it is now but over the last several months; I can't think of a time where there wasn't a rare tank in the store of some sorts.
The last months have brought us the BT-SV SU 76i Brazilian Bulldog A-32 Scorpion T-28 HTC Knight StuG IV Type 59 and I'm sure I am missing something in there Along with the re-release of the Hydro, KV5, Lefhtie, Tetrarch, and I think Sexy Sam too.
It's been a long time since there wasn't a rare in the store which seems odd but I guess it had to happen sooner or later. I think they're going to let the 34-88 stew a while now that it was on the PS4. It's going to end up like the Hydro and not follow the old regular schedule. I did kind of hope for the Mutant to come back though.
Thanks for the list by the way, one of these nights I'll sit down and go through the news archive and build a list of when tanks were sold and when so we can try to predict, and keep WG honest armed with logic and fact. Well, we can at least get them to say "Soon" |

I would have never thought the e25 would carry enough weight to even do a lot of damage to anything, even the little scorpion, how does it fare ramming bigger things? It does okay against many tanks. A good rule of thumb is if it looks bigger than you ,then don't ram it. I've put the hurt on a few tier V and VI mediums. Never rammed anything bigger than that. That's my general rule of thumb too, or play the Kv5 and ram everything that isn't a Kv4. |

So much so that I'm now training controlled impact on that crew. |

Ramming is easily my favorite thing in this game, most of my clips are rams. T-34-88 PzB2 Mutant 6 And PzV-IV |

I agree to a point. I'm not at all against mission reward tanks as I think they could build enthusiasm I also feel that if they are having an event where you can win them, they should also let you buy the phases for that chain of ops thereby unlocking the tank. I can jump on with that. I just hate they butchered them and sold them as premiums. Yeah they did kind of screw it up a bit. Though I will say I was happier with the price of the StuG than I was with the A32. |

Really good tank if you need to experience what it's like being broken. |

I don't think I've ever experienced a truly broken tank so it should be fun. Well I have a hype but I really don't think it's that FUBAR. the t34-3 is better in my opinion. |

Eh, I think the T-34-3 is trash myself, but that's just me, different strokes for different folks I guess. And yeah, you can play the V/IV seriously and see how broken a high speed, super heavy is at tier V or ram every tier III in to submission. |

The 34-3 could certainly use the gun depression the pc version got, but dat alpha. I genuinely thought the 5/4 would be back, well, by now. |

I truly wish we could loan out our premiums for test drives. I've got most of them (missing maybe 3 or so) and hardly even play most of them. Hell, I've got a virgin KV-5 that still has the window sticker on it.
I would love for the Type 62 to make an appearance though. I just love lights.

The fact that the StuG IV was shit anyway made it even worse. They're just money grabbing now. The fact the T28 HTC was shit and they sold it anyway makes it worse. These "shit tanks" are meant to be "free", they're not even proper fucking premiums, they're reward tanks for achieving missions. The HTC on xbox is amazing. I average almost as much damage a round with the T28 HTC as I do with the Waffle! That said, I played the Waffle most over a year ago, and I was amazingly bad in it. HTC is still great as long as there isn't a lot of arty. |

They sold the 5/4 in the founders pack, the 1 year anniversary founder pack, and after the Xbox One launch. It's been sold 3 times on Xbox. There have been other tanks that have been sold less often. 34-88 was only sold once. It's overdue. |

Oh ok. I wasn't sure how many times it went on sale. The T-34-88 was a mistake on my part. I should've bought it. I didn't realize how rare (and good) it actually was. I wasn't making that mistake with the Type. I think it was well worth the money though. Some guys don't like it (not sure how), but seems like most love it. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to platoon with other Type drivers yet. Should be a great wolfpack tank.

I wasn't certain if I should pick up the Type 59...I went ahead and got it. Would like to start collecting more instead of selling off. I have been playing the last few weeks and am grinding the Tiger 2, T37, Churchill and GW Panther (all ready for next tiers just grinding XP and gaining Silver)Which this tank really helps out with the Silver. Anyway.... After my first 3 games in the Type 59, the hate mail rolled in: Let's see there was: get good scrub and you're just a wallet warrior. My favorite so far is....Did mommy buy that for you? Nope! I worked enough over time last week to afford it. Just don't tell the wife  |

I was on a long break from tanking but had to come back to get the Type 59. Had a few games where the green Types went wolfpacking and they were blasts even without any communications. If BNKR Type wolfpacks do happen, count me in.

I reckon if you sneezed on it, you'd have a good chance of destroying the Scorpion. I imagine that if you rammed it, it fell to pieces. It's a fun little tank though, only played a few games in it so far but it is fun. You would be surprised. I rammed one full speed head on in an Achilles. Made the thing go vertical but only took half its health. And it took half my health and broke my track in return. So I shot it and left it on a sliver of health and it did the same to me. I fired at it again and my 17 Pounder shot BOUNCED of the damn thing. I can only assume I hit its gun unless mercy bounces really are a thing. Then it finished me off. Got laughed at by my friend for a while after that I can tell you. I think I saw something similar on Erlenberg a few days ago. The Scorpion came over a hill and one of our team took a shot at it and it either bounced or missed but the shot was so close it's unlikely he missed. The thing does have a very powerful gun so it's good to take it out before it gets too many shots. I've been one shotted a few times in mine though but so far have a decent win rate in it. |
