[@JamesVDBosch]

Just a note on the M46, it does still have access to HEAT-FS, but that shouldn't be so relevant as the APHE should still be your main round to use. It also should be moved up to Rank V because the tech tree M46 is Rank V too, this really holds it back from being a cost-effective premium.

[@thebean8255]

Hey I would like to watch this video but would love if you’d include time stamps, 50+ minutes is pretty long to not include at least some to help the viewer decide what to look into.

[@hoholzna4itpidarSLAVAROSSII]

Nah he don’t care + didn’t ask + have no clue what goin on

[@raginasiangaming910]

Disagree strongly on the Strv 103. I am not sure where you think it's that awful of a tank. It has laser range finding, super low profile and a silly fast reload at BR (under 4 secs). The aiming system also let's it get it's gun into play from some really weird positions. As for the aiming, seems fine to me. It aims with mouse look, moving the vehicle automatically. I find this affects your movement more than aim (since if you reflex glance, the whole tank turns). I got the vehicle yesterday, took it in with no warmup or test drive, and racked up four kills on my worst map. Next map was a full uptier and three kills again. Not God tier, but pretty damn solid for an average player with no vehicle experience and limited experience at 7.7 BR. Not saying it is a God tier premium, but it certainly isn't dogshit. The aiming is different for sure, but it's not that hard and the average gun is more than made up for by the sub 4 second reload and laser range finder.

[@rickbishop8840]

100% agree with you, I think it's one of the best premiums tbh

[@Piesy001]

It was they even took away the good round to slow it up, wich is a shame. It sucked they fixed it, then nerfed it. So now its just better than good....

[@Thiccron]

I don’t have the experience or the amount of premiums as Sako but heres my experience on the premiums I do have: USA M18 Black Cat is a great vehicle, mobility and gun is awesome, but you have to play smart as you have no armour at all. Between the T29 and M46 Tiger (I bought both because I’m also stupid) both are good but I find the M46 more rewarding as it has the better mobility and reload at the expense of raw firepower and high armour. Wish the M46 was moved up to the next tier though. Germany Tiger 2 SLA was my first premium and I was definitely the classic german player thinking the armour was invincible. Don’t make this mistake. You have to play this vehicle carefully as you have a monster gun but you’re slow with big weak spots. Overall not a bad one but there are better picks IMO Russia T126 is a low tier tank but a lot of fun. Definitely recommend if its cheap for you. T34-57 is a great tank but I find it hurts a fair bit in uptiers. Quicker reload and good pen on a fairly mobile chassis is really nice. OBJ 120. Its a tough one because its fun nuking people with that massive gun and it does good in an uptier but its just a little too slow and vulnerable to be highly recommendable. T55AM1 is a really great pickup on sale, just don’t use the APFSDS as your main round as its really not great. Grinded majority of Russian tree with this gem. 2S38 feels dirty to play. Its so good with its fast firing and also really powerful gun with stabilized high end thermals Love this thing, sorry everyone for the Russian bias Not a premium but BMP2M, damn its spicey when you get some of those mods unlocked. More Russian bias running alongside 2S38. Both of these feel totally uptier proof which is great to me. Remember to set your auto lock keybinds on these 2 vehicles to absolutely wreck nearby helicopters and slower planes. Unexpected bonus for these already amazing vehicles. China WMA301, just got it, haven’t played enough to say much but seems great if you like wheeled vehicles France M4A1 FL10 This tank must be russian because it feels like I’ve got that bias when playing this thing. Definitely worth getting especially on sale while you are working your way through france SOMUA is another amazing premium for a great lineup at 7.3 which works just as well at 7.7 (two great french lineups) The autoloading goodness for these tanks is really fun to use and even though the rounds are solid shot, post pen damage is great. AMX 50 TO90/30 I got from the battlepass and its not too bad but I’d save it til late round as its gun is not quite up to the level of the Somua. But if you can pen, its the M82 nuke shell so it’ll most likely be a 1 shot kill. Thats it hope it helps anybody thats thinking about wasting some cash on digital tanks 😁

[@sayny]

You got WMA301 quite late my dude, it's not as amazing as it used to be, the main issue: BR compression. The WMA301 was incredibly powerful when in a downtier to 7.3, but not as good in an uptier to 9.3. To put you in perspective, now at 8.7 has the same BR as the Japanese Type 16, which is superior to the WMA in every single way, speed, reload, backwards speed (very important), protection against .50 cal... Yet, some people were claiming the WMA should be 9.0. The issue here is the BR compression, as stated, it does really seem like in downtiers, some tanks are just incredibly powerful, and in uptiers, they might be just below expectations of tanks at the same BR. Regardless, nice tank. I grinded the whole chinese tech tree and also talismaned PTL02, which honestly might not have been a good idea as for some reason is one rank below despite being better in my opinion (better dart). Other issue is the fact that being Rank V doesn't allow it to get a recon drone, which is incredibly autistic in my opinion. Anyways, the Chinese TT is great, enjoy the grind if you can lol.

[@Thiccron]

@@sayny Thanks for the info, we’ll see how it goes haha 😂 Basically I blacked out and when I came to I had bought that and the 2S38 lol

[@chihunen6854]

What's the bad thing about having The M46 And the T29?

[@JorvikBerserkir]

You can use the WMA301 in the same lineup as the ZTZ96AP, it can pen pretty much anything, and you can use the ATGM to destroy helis

[@peterloki7503]

Strv 103 is my favourite premium, the hull aiming is bad but useable. The other players don't know how to kill it it has good reverse speed I don't know why you said it doesn't. Yes you need to watch out to the positioning but I grinded sweden to the end on rank 6. And 7.7 sweden is one of the best lineups.

[@vojtapergl858]

True I have a talisman fot the techtree one and a talisman for the 7.7 centurion and the 7.7 lineup is fucking great. The strv103 is so tanky and fun. Yea the aiming sometimes is kinda odd but you get used to it.

[@vojtapergl858]

And it is my tank with the best stats, have around 3kd with it, which is not very good but iam an air rb player mostly

[@magicmissile9323]

I understand this vid is old but the strv 103 is far from bad, hull aim is fine and the tank it very good for sniping as its ridiculous reload and good pen with great armour = strong tank

[@ericvaldivia9073]

i actually love the 5.3 soviet line up, i run the kv-122, m4a2, then t-34-85. always gets the job done, kv-122 is the king of holding the line

[@hell_razer_gaming-_-4188]

is the m4a2 a good tank?

[@davidbetcher81]

I hate the 5.3 Soviet line up I get bullied with it like isn’t the tiger supposed to be good

[@TomPrickVixen]

And it turned out only the (old) rank 6 premium packs are on sale, but at least on a 50% off. But what I wanted of those I already brought it in past sales, and many is outdated, or never even been a good premium. The returning packs are just too expensive for their "content".

[@joseSanchez-ej2oh]

In terms of value, the KV1E is pay to win Lead ur team, stay in front of them but don't go so far that they can't see what ur doing, and ANGLE 10 kill game ez and sometimes i take the #1 spot just bc of all the shells i bounce even when i don't get that many kills

[@vgames1543]

@MJ 0330 Indeed, just once or twice every year for russian tankers day, victory day. The german KV-IB is the same thing, but it is a market vehicle and can be overpriced. The same p2w but for germany though.

[@joseSanchez-ej2oh]

@muntatheraldamok9267 ah yeah true but i did feel the need to somewhat disagree with his point Yes it is easily penned, but not making bad decisions remedies that substantially, it's by far and away the most effective heavy tank I've ever played, I've aced it by playing without premium time, and frankly I think it's unfair to the enemy team (🤭not that I'll complain)

[@stc3145]

Kv 122 is much better than IS 2. Same firepower and mobility but 0.7 br lower and IS 2 has no effective armor anyway

[@hemek]

3.7 is where you get the Chaffe....arguably the most fun tank due to speed & mobility (25kmph reverse!), low profile, good pen, arty, directional smoke grenades (14 of them too), not bad armour (got a few bounces if you angle) overall great tank....needless to say my favourite in the WHOLE game! My bias exposed

[@nevermind7191]

Yeah same I got it in every nation that have it and I absolutely love it (My favourite tank). Also I played it until br 6.7 and it still pretty good there

[@maxhofmann9292]

The German captured Kw 2 is actually really fun to play, I had some spare ge so I actually bought it and its super fun to play especially if you are in an urban environment. Its also very good even at higher br even like 2 br higher its still fairly easy to get kills but you do get killed a lot easier. I would recommend buying it if you dont take the game too seriously and just want fun.

[@mitchell_9709]

Its really good i ground out low tier germany with the Kw2 IC such a good tank and its not that expensive. Would strongly recommend this

[@guron246]

I did grind French top tier tech tree with and-30 super. And good all mighty it was painful.

[@gamingavalon8784]

tank would have been okay if it had better protection like similar br tanks have, I am hoping in the near future the french get some love and get a new prem tank

[@gamer-jm6my]

so wait as the discounts are live right now if i was interested in buying a premium german tank which should i buy i am currently tier 3.7 but will be 4.0 fast as i seem to be progrssing fast through the german tree. so lets say im looking for a 4.0-5.0 premium german tank just to keep things future proof for a while

[@silmas908]

Thank you, I was already disappointed as the 2022 version was set to private. :D

[@battlecomputer]

I see a lot of 2S38 now that premium tank is on 30% discount in my rank 6 battles. In skilled hands these tank can destroy must Nato tanks we know even in higher ranks.

WMA301or the ZTZ96(P)? I want to frind china but i dont know with wich premium. Iam lvl 100

[@SAKOSNIPER]

Both are good vehicles. WMA has a better lineup at 9.0; but the ZTZ96 P is arguably a better grinder; but it lacks back up (apart from the tech tree ZTZ at 10.0)

[@kenopollmann1790]

ok thank you, I buy the ZTZ@@SAKOSNIPER

I reloaded them and they are now useless. Any help out there?

[@samoerai6807]

Hi I’m new to the game. Is it worth it buying the premium/German versions of the kv2, t34, Churchill, Sherman etc when you can get them for free in the tech tree? Are the premium ones better or at least different from the free ones?

[@vittezorge507]

I'm a beginner myself and bought them. I don't know about the others, but I personally wouldn't recommend them. If you plan to play in an arcade, then KV2 can throw a lot of fun. But you have to play from a distance, shot, waited a minute and in a circle. Personally, I like him

[@samoerai6807]

@@vittezorge507 thanks! That’s such useful information 😄. I made a little list of a couple of tanks I really want some day in the future: - RU 251 - IS-6 - T-55AM-1 - Somua SM - CV 90105 As a world of tanks blitz player I always really liked the IS-6. But hearing that thing fire even just the machine gun in test drive, HOLY CRAP THAT IS SO COOL. Firing its main gun blew my mind (not literally;). It’s better then I could have ever dreamed off. Unfortunately I currently don’t really have the money, but someday 🔥

[@vittezorge507]

​@@samoerai6807 A lot of Russian bloggers recommend T55AM1 for purchase, but I don't have it, I can't say anything about it. As for the rest, it did not cause strong and vivid emotions, but it was quite normal to play for Ru CV IS. The first 2 give dynamics, and the last forgives mistakes thanks to its armor and a good reverse. For the most part, my review, of course, depends on the fact that I simply could not implement these types of tanks.

Pz.sfl.Ic isn't very good, or even good. Look at the reload, it's just awful, espacially when you consider the low explosive filler of the 50mm. Also it has no machineguns so milktrucks are the biggest threat to you. I have it but I really don't care about it. It would be very nice if it had reasonable reload though.
