Can you play the 7.7 USA Magach 3 (ERA)? That’s a tank people are sleeping on. ERA at 7.7 and can absolutely brawl, zero turn, 20 smokes and can flank with a deadly accurate gun. Seriously, try this tank. Nobody has done anything on the Magach 3 ERA, XM1C or ADATS in at least 2 years. But nobody plays the Magach 3. I haven’t seen anybody on the U.S. teams use it, like ever. I’ve had messages from people after games asking wtf I was driving, because it looks crazy. Like, nobody has any idea what it is and it looks insanely mean.

Gajin needs to do reruns of event vehicles. A 1200€ vehicle is ridiculous. Even a 100€ rank 3 tank is ridiculous. And most of the event vehicles never got a coupon or are no longer on sale. At this point it feels like 50% of tanks between 3.0 and 7.0 are event, marketplace or premium vehicles. 2/3 of which you can either not buy or should not buy because they cost more than a car.

[@_Despair]

Why would they ever do a re-run considering they take %15 off every sale/purchase in the store. They make make more by leaving old vehicles the way they are.

[@AlphaHorst]

@Despair as I said most vehicles are no longer available. Around 20% of all vehicles in the game are not available to those who don't already have them And then sth between 2-5% are on the marketplace but of those, some are so expensive that none have been sold in well over 3 years. Yes, gajin makes money off of sales on the MP, but while 1000 people are willing to spend 100€ on a tank, not one is willing to spend 1000€ on a tank. Gajin again shoots its own foot by not making more vehicles for cheaper. Gajin has yet to realise what all other successful F2P games understand. Lower prices and enjoyment make money. Not a tiring grind, frustrating gameplay and overpriced premiums which make the suffering just barely less worse.

[@fire_drake12.arc.24]

they need to buff HE and fix the HE on the T30, it was fun when it used to be able to reliably kill stuff. Now it cant, cant kill things in the spots you used to anymore. Used to be able to kill Tiger IIs almost guaranteed everytime as long as you hit a turret cheek or anywhere alse on the turret, now it cant; you're lucky if you destroy a drivers optic. Ive also more often than not shot BMPs center mass in the side and the HE just does nothing anymore. Its sad, i LOVED this tank, it was so fun but now it feels unreliable.

[@USSWISCONSIN64]

Seeing the T30 makes me really hope Gaijin will add the T30E1 in the TT at 7.0 with a faster reload and whatnot as i missed the T30 back in the day and not gonna pay the price that people have it right now. but doubt Gaijin will be smart enough to do so. :/ Hope to see the T57/58 as well.

I would like to see the T69, if for nothing else than to see a bunch of "nice" jokes

the T30 was fun when its gun was more consistent, used to reliably kill Tiger II's if you hit anywhere on the turret, now it doesnt and regularly i can hit BMP's and other light vehicles center mass on the side and it does nothing but damage tracks. Its sad and not as fun to play as i remember it being; they definitely fucked up something.

Nice. I remember getting it back during the event and I still play it to this day more than anything else. Great tank, true Tiger hunter. The only thing that really gets it is the armour, which looks okay but is not. Most things pen you, although they never one shot. This isn't a brawler sadly, but you can annihilate anything that has a cupola with one shot. You should play T29 too.

16:54 Why is it a big deal ? I have won games holding A solo in this map. Sniper position behind A is also good for support and better than the other spawn. But you need to protect the spawn, that's all. Plus if they hold A in this map setup, they can basically spawncamp you from the cap, which is auto-loss because you can't spawn or cap.

It's such a shame Gaijin moved the T29 to 7.0 based on win/loss data alone. Running the triumvirate of the T29, T30, and T34 in one 6.7 lineup was one of my earliest highlights of pure American fun when I started playing

[@fire_drake12.arc.24]

it really doesnt belong at 7.0, its a good example of why "Statistical Balancing" doesnt fucking work. The community needs to make gaijin stop doing statistical balancing. Me and a couple other people who know the game very well and have tons of experience would be able to sit and make BR change charts for like an hour or two and balance the game better than Gaijin ever could.
