I’ve seen it on PC and it is still maligned, though not as big of a deal as it was. There have been a number of other tanks introduced since the Chrysler came out that make it seem like pay to lose. The recent IS-3A comes to mind. 

 

That said, I just saw it in a couple of matches and the driver of it was being trash talked by folks on the red team...who were driving very powerful premiums themselves. “Pay to win, wallet warrior!”  Um.....S’cuse me?

 

I say if you’re gonna pay the money for a tough premium ( PC prices have finally become standar here, it appears) then one should own the moniker of wallet warrior proudly and play it like you stole it. Because if it is really OP, you know it’s gonna get the nerf bat some time

 

...unless it’s Soviet.

I’ll be honest...no one would even remember this tank on PC if not for the Fochgate debacle. It’s an extremely bland tank. The armor is...good for sure, but as well all know it rains prammo at Tier VIII, so that doesn’t matter. The gun is the T32’s, which isn’t great. It’s a very boring heavy, it’s jot bad, jus tutterly bland.

 

I agree with both these assessments. 

I rather stupidly bought this when it became available on PC game. 

Everyone hates it and come at you quickly, and I don't blame them.

It will be interesting to see how if fits into gameplay on the smaller Blitz maps

Very much overpriced, which is the new normal for Blitz

[_Crusader6_]

I bought it this morning, it’s definitely not OP.  

   Turret is great, but the placement on the rear 1/3’rd ruins frontal Gun Depression. 

 Sides and Rear are effectively paper - and the front glacial can be penned by a T-43 (ask me how I know). 

 

Gun is aweful - so bad I went against my norm and loaded GLD 

  Pen is less than awesome, 198 base for AP (208 with CS) 

 

Turret and being fairly mobile is its only redeeming feature.  

 

I aced it on my 10th (and likely last game in it).

  While I did decently in it - it was more of a function of both teams sitting on the open slugging it out while I went hulldown by B cap.

Where’s the faux wood grain side armor?

The real question: does it have reclining bucket seats wrapped in rich Corinthian leather?

 

Do the bucket seats swivel? Special attachment I am sure.

For such a horror over on PC I was a bit shocked to see the T32 gun on it,which sucks donkey plums when you get into a fight with a level nine tank with any sort of armor you have to load APCR and pray a bit.

 

Not worth the price,if it had the T34 gun it'd be fun.

If it had the T34 gun, it would be absolutely OP.

The original Star Trek series had Kahn. He came back in the movies and rebooted in the last series. He was played by Ricardo Montalban

I saw the Chrysler K in the store for 15k gold but didn’t see any discussion on it.  Anyone try it yet?  I know it’s considered OP on PC blitz.  It looks like a minivan.  

 

Forget mini van, this thing is the tank equivalent to the AMC-Jeep wagoneer, with the brown shag carpet and wood paneling.

It's not the best looking tank,I got a close look when it popped up in my garage ads,kinda like they took a brick and popped turret on it and stuck guns all over,it's got two fixed at the front and two pivoting ones at the rear really looks like something out of GI Joe.

At one time, I had 12 of those in my yard (in various states of disrepair)

 

comparatively, this whole Blitz thing is barely a silent mouse fart in terms of wasteful hobbies

Yea this is a great point and another missed opportunity by WG. They could take the engine sound from the type 62 and put it on the Chrysler K. Its perfect for it as it sounds like a slant 6 misfiring one cylinder and with a bad muffler. Brrrrrr, popf, brrrrrrrrpopkffff brrrrrrrr.

[Antitwink]

I had a Reliant K back in high school. It was quite a car including having a chili stain in the back seat. It also had intermittent power steering failures which meant that sometimes going around a corner the power steering would fail and you’d have to wrestles the car to make the turn. It would also idle at about 45 mph which meant going through speed zones was tricky. I eventually traded it and some cash for a dune buggy.

Wow interesting! But did it have Corinthian leather? If so this made all other deficiencies worthwhile to deal with, just ask Ricardo Montalban.
