Why does WG keep adding premium mediums that are practically the same tank? At tier 8? We have the Type 59 Patton (the most [edited]tank ever added to blitz), the Type 59, the T-54 mod 1, the T-44-100, the T-34-3, you get the idea. Not to mention the heavy spam, IS-6, IS-5, IS-3D, the list goes on, etc. It's obvious their recent releases haven't been selling much, probably because of a) crates and b) they're sh*tty tanks. Seriously, who on earth comes up with these ridiculously redundant releases! It's an absolute pile of crap!
Now, I'm an avid TD player, I love TDs for a few reasons even though arguably if you want to win, clutch, and carry you'd be hard pressed to go with something else. Nothing is more frustrating and rage inducing than missing long reload high alpha shots or getting COD'd. With the exception of tier X of course, because frankly there are too many TDs there. Do you know what tier could use some variety? Tier 8! Tier 8 is great and one of my go to tiers despite its many shortcomings (unbalance, etc.) but I would absolutely be interested in a tier 8 premium TD that's NOT the Jagd (doesn't fit my play style and I just hate it for reasons I won't go into here). PC has plenty of tier 8 premium TDs that could easily be implemented in blitz and likely wouldn't be OP (if anything they'd be UP).
Some ideas:
- WZ-120-1G FT a Chinese TD based on the Type 59 chassis, with a 122mm gun
- AMX Canon d'assaut 105 a French TD with a 105mm gun
- Strv S1 for when the Swedish line gets added, armed with a 105mm gun (also could be added under the trash nation Drac's are under, forgot the name)
- Kanonenjagdpanzer a German TD with a 90mm gun similar to the E25
- Rheinmetall Skorpion G a German TD with a 128mm gun (has been discussed before. Would seriously redeem the St Emil's gun and be an absolute blast to play. For real, can you imagine how many people would pay for this if priced correctly?)
- ISU-130 basically an ISU-152 but with a 130mm gun
As you can clearly see, there's a massive variety of gun calibers, nations, and aesthetics present here, something for everything. I'd definitely be interested in any of these premiums, whereas I literally did not give a second thought to the past few premium releases. Any other TD fans who would love to grind credits in a unique tier 8 premium? Now, I'm not suggesting they continue with outrageous prices or crates. But. You get the idea, a fairly priced premium helps keep the company running. Come on WG make this interesting!!
