One possibility is that they’re removing tank models so they can increase the number of maps without making the client download larger...

That could be. I don't know about everyone else, but I would rather they just swapped out a few disliked maps. They could ask the player base what maps they dislike the most.

I highly doubt that. As a map has a lot more data tank a tank.

The new file space would be for more premium tanks which they can make money off of and also the new built in replay system that they have been promising for ages.

The orange text "Техника в свободную продажу" translates to "equipment available for sale"

The yellow text "Техника в ограниченную продажу" translates to "equipment in limited sale"

The red text "Бесперспектпвная техника (на удаление)" translates to "unpromising equipment (for removal)"

They have removed tech tree tanks numerous times in the past and you can still play them if you have them in your garage.  

 

My recommendation for tanks they are removing:

If you like it, don't sell it.  Ever.  Exceptions no longer work for tech tree tanks.

If you used to have it and liked it, buy it back.

If you don't have it yet, but were interested in picking it up, grind it out as soon as you can.

 

For me, I had been putting off grinding out the Sherman Firefly.  I guess that just selected what I'm working on next.

 

What tech tree tanks have they ever removed?

Yea I went to the trouble of translating that earlier but I’m still debating what the difference between limited sale and free sale will mean. The “free sale” tanks in orange boxes are seem to be the better more popular ones and I’m thinking they will let players who have them keep them as premiums like they do on PC when they retire tanks. What do you think RT?

On console I believe they removed the FV4202 and the Rampanzer (memory is fuzzy).  If you had them in your garage at the time of removal they became premium tanks.  Who knows what Blitz will do though...

Ribble’s reply of “no comment” on another thread just strengthens my belief that this is real.

Yup.  I think this is going to happen.

Do we at least get free XP refunded?

Yes so they would delete the tanks because if they became premium you would still have to download them

[Zuke76]

Imma buy back the hellcat for sure

[BluesAllDay]

     So if a tank becomes a premium or otherwise stays in the game I can see whatever parts are mounted would stay with the tank. If a tank is removed completely I understand a garage slot and silver would be compensated. What about any equipment on a tank that is removed?

[reluctanttheist]

My guess based on the bad translation:

Orange tanks = retained

Yellow tanks = retained, but not part of a line anymore, or existing tanks owned by players allowed to be retained

Red tanks = tactical nuke

Yea a spare parts refund should definitely be in order. As well as a gold refund for rare camos purchased. Hopefully they’ll do right in those areas.

     Thank you. My next question would be if a tank is removed from the game would blitzstars be able to remove those stats from the ledger?

No I highly doubt that. That’s part of your record. Even stats of temporary tanks like the Mk I heavy show up on your record. Best fix all the stats on any tanks possibly being removed before it happens.

 

And I’m not sure about refunds of sparts and gold. I’m just hoping as that would only be fair. Time will tell.

Not really -- it was always a premium.

 

It was just briefly a tech tree premium - after the Christmas gift.
